Republicans Don’t Trust Their Leaders
The same public opinion poll that shows President Barack Obama losing his star power didn’t bring good tidings for “Republican” politicians, either.
In fact, the recently-released Pew survey showed that just 43% of Republican voters approve of the job their so-called party is doing in Washington.
That’s a precipitous 12-point drop from last month, when the survey showed that 55% of GOP voters approved of their party’s leadership.
Among all voters, the GOP’s support is even lower – 28% (down from 34% a month ago).
Read the results for yourself by clicking here, but clearly the credibility Obama is losing with the American people isn’t being picked up by Republicans.
“Taxpayer Party,” anyone?

Get rid of wishy-washy Steele. How about Tom Delay for GOP chairman?

Ron Paul would make a great GOP chairman.
Would that be legal? Legal, schmegal.
HE IS the big, benevolent elephant in the room!

I’d be very happy to have Ron Paul as chairman. I thought he was nutty at first, but I think the guy is a genius. He’s got my vote.

Are these results really any surprise to any thinking conservative Republican? Republicans accounted for over 40% of the earmarks contained in the $410B omnibus spending bill! The establishment Republicans seem to think that just repeating a mantra about “fiscal responsibility” will somehow convince the huddled masses they are credible. Actions speak louder than words.
The Republican party needs some passionate, principled leadership coming from persons of integrity wrapped in the courage of their convictions and sprinkled with a little bit of charisma.
Anybody know of anyone like that in the Republican Party today?

Thanks Will,
Sadly, I seriously doubt that 43% of SC GOP voters approve of their state and local GOP leadership either. VERY SAD! RINO Republicans are everywhere and hardly distinguishable from the old “southern democratic” party leaders regarding ideology and lee atwater style tactics etc. AND I’M A FRUSTRATED REPUBLICAN IN CASE YOU CAN’T TELL!
