It would seem that the GOP has seen the latest poll on the popularity with the people.

In a three-way Generic Ballot test, the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds Democrats attracting 36% of the vote. The Tea Party candidate picks up 23%, and Republicans finish third at 18%. Another 22% are undecided.

Among voters not affiliated with either major party, the Tea Party comes out on top. Thirty-three percent (33%) prefer the Tea Party candidate, and 30% are undecided. Twenty-five percent (25%) would vote for a Democrat, and just 12% prefer the GOP.

Among Republican voters, 39% say they’d vote for the GOP candidate, but 33% favor the Tea Party option.

Oh damn!  They had better find a way to change the thinking of the American conservatives……along comes Sen. DeMint of South Carolina…..

“The GOP leadership needs to stand up for mainstream American principles,” says DeMint. The best way to do that, he says, is to “look to the great candidates we can support like Marco Rubio, Pat Toomey, Chuck DeVore, and now Michael Williams. They’re exciting, principled candidates who have all stood up to the Republican party.”

“We need to stop looking at the tea parties as separate from the Republican party,” adds DeMint. “If we do that, we can stand up and create the biggest tent of all.”

As was posted in the past….the GOP has a “purity” list for the candidates it will support and those candidates are in line with the Teabaggers (Ha…there is that word again)….if they keep to the “purity” test thing the tent will get smaller and smaller….and it will look like that little car full of clowns we see at the circus…..

It sounds like the GOP is running scared for the up coming 2010 election…they are deathly afraid that they will lose ALL hope of a majority in Congress…..all the rhetoric about polls not being that important is pure crap!  The GOP has seen the writing on the wall and they are worried that it is NOT in their handwriting…..
