A party both united and divided
Added 277 days ago on November 30th, 2009
The Republican rank and file is largely in sync with GOP lawmakers in their staunch opposition to efforts by President Obama and Democrats to enact major health-care legislation, but a new Washington Post poll also reveals deep dissatisfaction among GOP voters with the party's leadership as well as ideological and generational differences that may prove big obstacles to the party's plans for reclaiming power.
Republicans and GOP-leaning independents are overwhelmingly negative about Obama and the Democratic Party more broadly, with nearly all dissatisfied with the administration's policies and almost half saying they are "angry" about them. About three-quarters have a more basic complaint, saying Obama does not stand for "traditional American values." More than eight in 10 say there is no chance they would support his reelection.

The Democrats have a far left leadership, that is pushing an agenda that will lose elections.
The majority of the party is just left of center but they are not the leaders.
The Democrats have nothing to rally to but the need for power and the ability to reward those that they must pay to support them.

PollM, that is so raciest and so Democratic it needs a comment.

Republicans are a party of people who work and expect to take care of themselves. You state that is limited to Whites "only". very typical of the Democrats raciest idea that Blacks are unable to "mainstream".
