The latest combined polling from all major polls shows Congress is still in the tank and getting worse, even as the big election approaches. Neither side has anything to gain by these low poll numbers. But, despite the low approval numbers republican challengers are still less disliked than democrats and this is likely to unseat just enough incumbent democrats to strongly shift the balance of power to the GOP side in the Senate while firmly retaining power in the House.
Historically, the polling is about as bad as they have ever been for either Houses.
President Obama’s numbers fair considerably better, but they are on the decline by an even steeper margin and no doubt his growing disapproval numbers are reflecting poorly for incumbent democrats and first time challengers.
In other polling, Americans rank national security as our top priority followed by the economy and the growing national debt. This is probably due to the mass media attention on Ebola and the ISIS threat. Recent military experts say we need to go back into Iraq and re-re-take An Bar and start driving out ISIS before they overrun Baghdad. This can’t be done by airpower alone, it will require a considerable invasion force. Estimates are it will take up to 10 years to re-re-stabilize Iraq, thanks to two presidents that made colossal blunders, Maliki of Iraq and Obama. This “boots on the ground” war will be a hard sell to Americans who have paid trillions for the last war and lost thousands of sons and daughters, although sons made up 96.7% of the loses. And just to update you for the sake of being an informed voter, most of the female losses were due to operator/driving mistakes that lead to fatal collisions, about 44 deaths were actually related to combat. About half of all casualties were exclusively from the US Army (168,309 total injured, wounded or killed).
A bit off topic, but today it was announced that 115,000 unverified people are getting Obamacare subsidies. This is a nice way of saying illegals are benefiting from the plan. Remember when Obama spoke before Congress and Joe Wilson-R said, “you lie,” well, apparently he was right. Obama promised illegals would not be able to enroll, but 115,000 examples and growing say otherwise.
REF: Obamacare subsidies
Simple enough to understand, without subsides Obama care fails, without the potential of illegal voters migrating to the ballot box for additional subsidies Democrats fail.
It’s a pattern that’s been developing for some time, right Harold? 😉
FYI: Documentary about a Democrat “shadow” government taking over our states one state at a time debuts this weekend.
‘Rocky Mountain Heist’ Documentary Shows How Colorado Turned Blue:
“A new documentary produced by Citizens United and hosted by conservative blogger Michelle Malkin says that a secretive group of wealthy left-leaning activists met behind closed doors to take over the once-red state of Colorado, all the while publicly calling for “transparency” in elections.
And they have their eyes on the rest of the country, Malkin said Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Kelly File.”
“What happened here in Colorado can happen in the rest of the country,” Malkin said.
The film, “Rocky Mountain Heist,” debuts this weekend, including on Newsmax TV.”

Who’s afraid of ‘Rocky Mountain Heist?’:
“Free at last! I’m silent no more. Now, the story can be told.
Democrats here in my adopted state of Colorado did not want the new political documentary I hosted to see the light of day. They lost. This week, the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals issued an emergency injunction declaring that our movie deserved the same free-speech rights as a “traditional” (translation: old-guard liberal) news organization.
“Rocky Mountain Heist,” produced by David Bossie’s Citizens United and directed by Jason Killian Meath, tells the story of how a wealthy quartet of liberal millionaires and billionaires in Colorado — known as the “Gang of Four” — took over the once-red state of Colorado in the course of a decade.
As a conservative journalist in both “old” and “new” media for more than two decades, I’ve used my First Amendment rights to follow the radical left’s money and connect the dots for readers and viewers. The media marketplace has been too long dominated by liberal corporate statists allied with Big Government, cloaked in the pretense of institutional objectivity.
The 10th circuit panel of three judges unanimously rejected speech-stifling arguments that our expose was somehow an “electioneering communication” subject to onerous disclosure requirements — from which the likes of the Denver Post or Colorado public radio are arbitrarily exempt. It’s “government putting its thumb on the scale,” Citizens United super-lawyer Ted Olson argued in court — treacherously elastic and prone to abuse.
A six-year resident of Colorado, you can imagine my amusement, sitting in court last week in Denver, listening to government officials capriciously attack our film (which they hadn’t seen) as a “drop-in attack ad” from nefarious, out-of-state interests.
Reality check: The nearly-hour-long film illustrates how the Gang of Four coordinated their campaign targets and spending behind closed doors. We report on how they drafted up elitist plans to “educate the idiots.” With commentary from journalists, local and state Republican lawmakers, and even one political science professor (who ironically testified against Citizens United’s right to equal media treatment!), “Rocky Mountain Heist” traces how the liberal scions and their “Colorado Democracy Alliance” captured the governor’s mansion, the state legislature, and two Senate seats.
As I’ve reported previously, CODA spawned the national Democracy Alliance. “Over the past nine years,” the organization brags to potential contributors, DA has “aligned leaders in the progressive movement and political infrastructure” to “achieve victories at the ballot box and in policy fights.” Their agenda spans “social justice,” “climate change,” “voting rights,” gun control, illegal alien amnesty, campaign finance and sustained “strategic investment” to turn red states blue.
Colorado activists in our movie inform voters how Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper pandered to his wealthy patrons and out-of-state special interests. Interviewees enlighten viewers on how Hickenlooper imposed radical laws and regulations restricting economic and personal freedoms on energy businesses, gun owners and entrepreneurs. The deep-pocketed progressive donors funneled gobs of undisclosed money to astroturf groups and a network of liberal non-profits — all while screaming about the need for “transparency” and the “people’s right to know.” “Rocky Mountain Heist” shows how the “Colorado model” is migrating to Texas and Virginia, and highlights how liberty-loving Coloradans have been fighting back.
Our documentary, as Ted Olson argued, expresses core “political speech that is at the heart of the First Amendment’s protected activity.” Here’s what’s so rich: So-called “progressive” champions of transparency (with names like “Colorado Ethics Watch”) intervened to try and stop Citizens United and me from educating my fellow Coloradans — and the rest of the country — just weeks before a critical midterm election.
What are the opponents of “Rocky Mountain Heist” so afraid of? An informed citizenry, an independent media, and conservatives willing to go to the mat for their constitutional rights.”

Pres. John F. Kennedy addressed this in his book “Profiles in Courage” True leaders don’t do the popular thing, they do the right thing.
Wow, Van Jones a Democrat, self-admitted communist and former Obama Green Job czar admits they destroyed Palin because she had them scared.
Yes, Tina Democrats will lie and destroy a WOMAN to win at any cost.
Van Jones tells Dana Loesch: Yeah, Palin had us ‘shaking in our boots’ in ‘08:
“In a stunning admission, Van Jones said Democrats purposefully destroyed Sarah Palin and painted her as stupid because they were ‘afraid’ after her amazing convention speech. They saw her as smart and a threat – so they made stuff up about her and destroyed her political career. Sounds an awful lot like a… war on women.”
