Part of why the guy with the truck won In Massachusetts was because Democrats were unenthusiastic about what’s-her-name and didn’t vote, but let’s take a look at reasons why people voted for Brown.
A majority of Obama voters who switched to Brown said that “Democratic policies were doing more to help Wall Street than Main Street.” A full 95 percent said the economy was important or very important when it came to deciding their vote.
The Republicans destroyed our economy and wrote legislation that allowed banks to become high stakes gamblers with our money. So what do the voters expect to accomplish by electing another Republican?
In a somewhat paradoxical finding, a plurality of voters who switched to the Republican — 37 percent — said that Democrats were not being “hard enough” in challenging Republican policies.
So let me get this straight… Democrats aren’t fighting hard enough against Republicans and that’s their reason for voting for a Republican?
The poll also upends the conventional understanding of health care’s role in the election. A plurality of people who switched — 48 — or didn’t vote — 43 — said that they opposed the Senate health care bill. But the poll dug deeper and asked people why they opposed it. Among those Brown voters, 23 percent thought it went “too far” — but 36 percent thought it didn’t go far enough and 41 percent said they weren’t sure why they opposed it.
36% thought health care reform didn’t go far enough, so they voted for the candidate who wants to kill reform all together? And then we have the low information crowd who make up 41% of people who switched. They don’t know why they feel the way they do; they just do. These are probably the “independent” voters who’s opinions change with the prevailing winds.
We’re doomed!!!
