Gallup Poll: Percentage of Americans Who Identify As Dems Hits 22-Year Low
A new Gallup Poll released today has some potentially disturbing news for Democrats. In the findings, only 31% of Americans identify as Democrats which ties for the Lowest Level in 22 years.

The findings, which were put together from 21 separate Gallup and USA Today/Gallup polls, have the Republicans at 29%, two percentag...

Dems Drop to New Low in Gallup Poll
The carriage that brought Democrats to the White House and major Congressional gains in the 2008 election may have turned to a pumpkin in 2010 as a new Gallup Poll shows only 31 percent of Americans identified themselves as Democrats last year. That's down from 35 percent in 2008 and is the lowest percentage of self-identified Democrats since the polling group started measuring party identification 22 years ago.

Independents, Raise Your Hands

Gallup has some good news and some really bad news for President Obama
Finally, some good news to please President Obama in a new Gallup Poll. The survey finds that more Americans still identify themselves as Democrats (31%) than call themselves Republicans.

Morning Observations
The Democrats in the House of Representatives produced over 400 bills in the last Congress that the U.S. Senate did not have the time or inclination to act on. We didn't pay attention to most of those bills, although a few, like Cap & Trade, were big effing deals. When we see the Republican-run House pass bills to Repeal Health Care reform or ban czarism from the executive office, we shouldn't really get upset. It's theater. It is only important for setting precedents for future action should t...

Dems Still Working Hard To Thwart The Will Of The People On Health Care Reform
As most of us know, the American People were dead set against the passage of the so-called “Affordable Care Act,” which started out with the notion of reducing Health Insurance costs and providing coverage to the 30-45 million Americans that had no health Insurance, and escalated to a 2,000 page bill that none who voted “Yea” actually read nor understood, and did anything but reduce Health Insurance costs. We’ve all seen the fallout, that insurance costs would go up...

Education still key to success; hard work, too

History Is Bunk
Well, it's over. In the 112th Congress, the House of Representatives kicked things off by reading the Constitution, with over 100 members -- of both parties -- taking part. And yes, they engaged in a bit of theatre -- they had a woman Representative read the section that prescribed the wording of the presidential oath of office, they had civil rights icon John Lewis read the 13th Amendment, which abolished Slavery, and even ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (mmm... that's such a sweet phrase, I wanna say...
