What are your true feelings about supporting the Democratic Party of today?

140. The critical number in this poll is the top one...

Unless something extraordinary happens we are going to get buried in the midterms, and I suspect that we are doing a fine job handing 2016 to the GOP as well. After the Bush disaster we had an unprecedented opportunity to turn this country around, and to demonstrate that the political left had good answers to many of our problems. It is probably no accident that the corporations, who like things just as they are thank you, instead selected the half-term Junior Senator with the winning smile and Used Car Dealer ethics to follow up Bush. Or did you REALLY believe billion dollar nation-wide election machines assemble themselves behind people who have yet to complete their first term in office as a Senator?

Obama has given the corporate elite everything they wanted, absolutely everything, and he's demonstrated to another generation of Americans that they can HOPE for a real change, but the only thing changing is the letter in front of the corporate shill's name.

So here we are. The GOP teaparty fringe looks dangerously delusional, but they do get out the midterm vote. After that, the GOP leadership will do what they can to force them off the national stage. 2016 will be someone 'sensible,' a straight talking pragmatic, who isn't afraid to 'reach across the aisle' and work with the other party. Someone like Christy or Hillary. And either way the Corporations win.
