72 Percent of Republicans
Fear New Year

U.S. News & World Report, by Kenneth T. Walsh

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 12/24/2012 3:12:18 PM

For Republicans, it may be the season to be jolly, but not optimistic. Seventy-two percent of Republicans are fearful about their future in 2013, and 79 percent fear for the world, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. This is a substantial increase in GOP gloom since 2006, when only 20 percent said they were fearful about their personal future during the Republican presidency of George W. Bush. Fifty-four percent of Republicans were fearful about their personal prospects after Democrat Barack Obama won the presidency in 2008. In contrast, three-quarters of Democrats

I´m no longer a republican. I´m an American (as opposed to ???-american), love this country and I´ll be praying hard. In the words of a famous and brave man...."let´s roll".

Well, yes. They have a clue. Democrats don´t.

And the most obnoxious thing is that when it all goes to heck, Republicans will be blamed.

Could be that we knew that GW loved this country and his fellow man. This ´thing´ we have in the WH is a mooslim goon. The goon is on vacation - we can only hope that a shark or octopus will miss not miss.

Marxist Goon more like it.

Democrats will suffer more than Republicans during Obama´s Reign of terror. They are already out of work and can´t find jobs. Wait until the economy collapses and Nero will be playing golf.

When George Bush was re-elected, there was not much Republican gloating, and some democrat celebrities threatened to move out of the country but did not follow through. Their fear was merely posing.

This time around, I have spoken with a great many Conservatives and Republicans who are genuinely saddened and fearful for their personal situation and for the Country. It is not faked; it is actual, real fear.

It is real fear. I fear the government more than any time in my life. I fear the morons that elected Bronco Bamma again. I never thought I needed a gun, but fortunately in my state I can get a concealed carry permit. I am reconsidering my position very seriously this Christmas season. This seems to be the time the Libs want to double down on taking away our rights. Too bad they won´t take away my fears.

The people tearing down this country are suicidally insane on a grand scale. They think to gain ultimate power, but all they will do is destroy the very nation that gave them so much. Destruction is easy. It is building that is hard. Don´t fear them. Seek to sidestep their evil as best you can. If they bankrupt coal, use wood. Each of us lives and dies, and none knows how long we have. We must do our best to make a positive difference in our own families and at local and state levels. Use the gifts God gave us until he calls us home.

First, the photo of the Delusional One makes reading the article very difficult. 4 more years of these photos is cruel & unusual punishment.

What´s interesting in survey are these two findings:

1. . More than three-quarters say the economy is still in a recession.

2. Yet..."55 percent are optimistic about the policies of President Obama in his second term".

If 4 years of Obama´s policies still have most people thinking that we are in recession that ended in 6/09, why do so many feel optimistic now?

I had four combat tours in Vietnam. I put on my boots, picked up my rifle and went out to face the enemy to save America from Communism. I´m now 74 years old, and I believe I will have to do it again. Right here at home. Happy New Year.

The Republican Party is the ordinary people--NOT the politicians or party bosses. The principles of the party have not changed. The pols have. The problem is we stopped caring. We let others choose the direction of the party and we don´t hold our reps accountable. It is our fault for continuing to let others decide and for voting for the same professional politicians over and over again. A new party? We´d just do the same thing again.

I will stand up and tell anyone anytime/any day that I am proud to be an American.

Am I concerned about the future?? Yes, absolutely, but you know, we haven´t had a true crisis here since WW II and more recently the Cuban missile crisis in 1962. And 9/11 - May God rest their souls. I was old enough to understand the Cuban missile crisis. Now THAT was something to worry about. 9/11 will be in-grained in me forever, another story for another time.

While it should not be so, perhaps those who have not/cannot see the proper way forward need a soul-searching experience to wake up and see what is happening. Or they see what is happening and glad to see it.

We need to get past this fear thing fast and fix what is wrong with Amerika. Sitting back in fear is just what the left is hoping we will do. Time to snap out of it. What do you say, folks?

I fear for the country. I think runaway inflation is inevitable. I´m too old to worry about it personally.

Schools and police stations were burning in Stockholm as violent riots continued for a fifth consecutive night. Emergency services were called to 70 separate incidents, including two torched primary schools, burning shops and a destroyed library building also housing a local police unit. Despite police claiming that the situation is beginning to calm down, critics say the riots were unavoidable after years of widening social gaps in a country which has the highest proportion of foreign-born citizens in Scandinavia.

The lawyer picked Thursday to succeed Patrick Fitzgerald as Chicago´s U.S. attorney is a former federal prosecutor best known for taking on corrupt politicians and powerful institutions such as the University of Notre Dame. Zachary Fardon would take over an office that has made its mark nationally by putting crooked government officials behind bars but increasingly faces pressure to do more to help in the fight against Chicago´s violent street gangs. "Zachary Fardon will be unwavering in his commitment to justice, and I am confident he will serve the people of Illinois with excellence," President Barack Obama said

The Democratic National Committee is accusing the GOP of "making up so-called ´scandals´ out of thin air." In an email to supporters, DNC Spokesman Brad Woodhouse writes that Republicans´ accusations of scandal aren´t legitimate — a claim that´s sure to draw howls from the right."Getting in President Obama´s way has been the top priority for Republicans in Congress since day one. But now they´ve gone too far. They´ve been caught red-handed making up so-called ´scandals´ out of thin air to stir up false rumors of vast ´cover-ups´ happening in the White House," Woodhouse writes.

Country singer Josh Gracin was in Washington on Thursday night to perform at the Ninth Annual Night of Heroes Gala, and as badly as he may have wanted to, he wasn’t allowed talk politics in an interview with The Hill.“I’m very political, almost to where I get in trouble with my record label not to post anything [on Facebook],” the former American Idol finalist said. Gracin’s handler quickly stepped in, nodding to the recording device in my hand and helpfully reminding him that he was on the record.

The Obama Administration fought to keep a search warrant for James Rosen’s private e-mail account secret, arguing to a federal judge that the government might need to monitor the account for a lengthy period of time. The new details are revealed in a court filing detailing a back and forth between the Justice Department and the federal judges who oversaw the request to search a Gmail account belonging to Rosen, a reporter for Fox News. A 2009 article Rosen had written about North Korea sparked an investigation; Ronald C. Machen, Jr., the U.S. Attorney who is prosecuting Stephen Jin-Woo Kim,

As Democrats and the media continue to hammer Virginia lieutenant governor hopeful E.W. Jackson for his past comments on social issues, the Christian minister says he is battling what he calls the “mainstream media’s caricature” of him. In an email sent to The Daily Caller this week, the running mate to Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli said “every one of those comments has a context and were spoken in my role as a minister, not as a candidate.” In particular, the black Republican took issue with the media’s outrage over his comments on abortion.

Criminality Appears To Lie at the
Heart of the IRS Scandal

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance.

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.
