Here's the thing. Obviously discontent with Obama is nothing compared to that with Bush in his second term or Clinton in 1994. However with his disapprovals hovering around 50%, that is enough for some serious openings. No question.

However what has the GOP done? They haven't focused on an alternative health care reform plan, or explained how their policies is better at handling stuff like the oil spill, or how they have a better finance reform plan. The only thing I have heard from the other side is basically "OMG OBAMA = MUSLIM SOCIALIST FASCIST BORN IN KENYA OMG" That alone is obviously not going to cut it.

Anyone see what I'm saying? These Tea Party clowns should in theory appeal to the more affluent areas the GOP recently lost because of Bush that probably are concerned about health care reform and their taxes going up. But they aren't going to be won over by poorly made mispelled signs with the type of cheap shots listed abgove. Which is all they have given us.

well they do have an alternative healthcare plan, but conservatives rather rely on bumper sticker slogans, attack the other side, and use fear mongering to gain support.

I'll start respecting conservatives once they start respecting simple macroeconomic truths, and if they cant than screw em. Why should I wait for them to learn?

I really do not understand how conservatives in this country disagree with everything obama has done. For example the stimulus is a common sense policy, and is not something that is unprecedented.
