Republican Party, Fading Away

Although some people would like to dwell on disputes within the Democratic Party, it's the Republican Party that is losing ground with every day that passes.

A Year Ahead, Republicans Face Tough Political Terrain
October 31, 2007

A year before the 2008 presidential election, most major national opinion trends decidedly favor the Democrats. Discontent with the state of the nation is markedly greater than it was four years ago. President Bush's approval rating has fallen from 50% to 30% over this period. And the Democrats' advantage over the Republicans on party affiliation is not only substantially greater than it was four years ago, but is the highest recorded during the past two decades.

The public continues to express more confidence in the Democratic Party than in the Republican Party as being able to bring about needed change, to govern in an honest and ethical way and to manage the federal government. The Democratic Party's advantages on these traits are much wider than during the last presidential campaign. Moreover, they remain about as large as they were just prior to the 2006 midterm election, in spite of rising public discontent with the Democrat-led Congress.

The voters' issues agenda also appears to benefit the Democrats. Along with Iraq, the economy, health care and education rate as the most important issues for voters.

The GOP had their chance to government, to implement their 'conservative' ideas and proved they are incompetent, corrupt and unworthy of the trust given to them by conservative and moderate Americans.

But it is no surprise that conservative rule has been a failure. Overshadowed by right-wing propaganda is the fact that the Founding Fathers of the United States of America were all liberals and the core principles of liberty and equality, that make America the great nation that it is, are liberal values. Conservative rule can only diminishes Americas greatness and undermine liberty.
