No teabags involved in this change

Sixty-three percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Wednesday say they think the policies being proposed by the President would push the nation in the right direction, with 35 percent saying those policies would send the country in the wrong direction.

But the poll suggests that Americans don’t feel the same way about the Republicans. Thirty-nine percent of those questioned say that the policies of GOP Congressional leaders would move the country in the right direction, with a slight majority, 53 percent, saying Republican proposals would move the nation in the wrong direction.

    Golly. I guess we really were scared when we spent all that time laughing at teabaggers, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, etc.

    Yet when they actually VOTE on Obama’s policies (or the equivalents thereof), the results are precisely the opposite.

    Do you even know what the Cal propositions were about?
    Please explain how rejecting; spending caps, creating a rainy day fund, borrowing from future lottery results, and shifting eamarked funds to the general fund is a rejection of Obama’s policies.

    These propositions were rejected because they were attacked from the right and the left, they were confusing, CA voters don’t understand that their previous votes on earlier propositions require putting many changes in revenue collection and disbursement before the voters, they resent being asked to decide this stuff – which they don’t feel they have the time to study, and they don’t feel that Sacramento has been willing to make the hard choices in spending cuts that are required when a balanced budget is mandated and a 2/3s majority is required to raise taxes.

    The proposition process has become so manipulated and abused that many voters rightfully reject anything they don’t fully understand anymore, but also fail to realize that they themselves are culpable in creating the mess by their earlier votes. The biggest mistake being term limits – which pretty much guaranteed that lobbyists would run the show, as just around the time a legislator has figured out how to run things, they have to leave, and guess who is still there to “help” the next guy.
