To say that Americans have lost confidence in Congress is a huge understatement. Congress approval ratings of 12% are at all time lows, with disapproval ratings of 84% at all time highs, while 56% of Americans surveyed thought replacing everyone in Congress and starting over was the best alternative!

Anybody-But-Obama has been the Republican campaign strategy so far. This is not sufficient to win the election in November. What voters need and want is a vision of the future that a Republican offers and how it would be better than four more years of Barack Obama. A return to free market capitalism and the American Dream is not specific enough to be a vision. We have now been privileged to see what a socialist looks like and have roundly rejected it. How would a conservative administration differ and how would we measure success?

Barack Obama is a lame duck President already, but probably doesn’t realize it since he is surrounded by leftist zealots who insulate him from any contrary opinions and shielded by the partisan mainstream media. Obama has little chance on winning in November, but this does not stop the mainstream media from selling the message that he has a chance, and because many voters are uninformed and can still be influenced by the constant media spin.
