No Party Affiliation
Actually we do not - 21% self-report as Republicans in the latest poll I saw.Next things next... the poll only presents 20% of the sampling as Republican.... and we ALL KNOW there are more Republicans in the general population.
Where'd you see that?... MSNBC???
Frankly, only pollsters who go to great pains to get accurate data can be trusted. And even then, only so far. Conservatives aren't all self-identifying as Republican just now. They're angry. You can go to any conservative blog and see for yourself. They don't like the Democrat-lite RINOS we've been seeing.
So, all these people who want to believe that there's no Republican opposition out there and that a liberal- biased news organization would never lead them by the nose are in for a shock come 2010. What do they REALLY think is gonna happen when the young folk realize they're losing up to 10% of their income for more coverage than they're ever likely use in order to subsidize the old folks because some fat-cat in Washington dictated that it'd be so?
It's all philosophical until they come for your wallet, right?
And you DO realize that you're arguing in support of a bold-faced media lie, don't you?... Nodoginnafight?
The headline doesn't match the poll question.
I agree - many conservatives are not reporting themselves as Republicans. Your opinion as to why may account for some (and conceivably all of them) But I would also suggest that many moderates are no longer identifying themselves as Republicans because they object to the hard right turn that many are attempting to impose on the GOP. I know several of these (myself included) but that's just acedotal evidence and neither of us can (as far as I know) say how many dfall into which category for sure.
That's would be pure speculation on BOTH our parts.
btw - any interpretation of my arguments and my posts should be limited to the extent of my arguments and posts. If I am seeking to make a broader point or to advocate something else, I'll say so.
