The current atmosphere amongst mainstream American citizens is very much against the shenanigans of our elected leaders in Washington DC.  Recent Gallup polling shows two thirds of Americans are against the President’s policies regarding Health Care, the Economy and the deficit.  A current NewsMax poll shows an even greater percentage of Americans are against the President with each of these categories reaching 80% to the negative.

From this snippet of polling data, it appears the GOP is the only party listening to the citizens.  They know we cannot tax the citizens more while exploding government spending and expect to control inflation or boost the economy.  The GOP members of Congress know they cannot completely ignore people they are supposed to represent. 

The GOP also does well when comparing their stances to the priorities defined by a recent Pew Research Center Poll.  80 plus percent of respondents listed Economy, Jobs and Terrorism as their top priorities.  So, instead of focusing on the issues American citizens are focusing on, the DEM party is tilting at the windmills of tax revenue from Global Warming and nationalization of private industries.

It seems at this point the GOP is the party that knows what the electorate wants.  In 2008, the electorate was looking for change and rejected the GOP in favor of the DEM.  But in 2010, the political winds shifted and the electorate knows they want Jobs security, a strong economy and protection from terrorists.  It seems the GOP is the only party that KNOWS this.  Or, maybe they are the only ones who care what they majority of Americans are wanting.
