Voters don’t buy Obama, Palin, Tea Party endorsements

If some Democratic candidates shun President Barack Obama and some Republican candidates stiff arm Sarah Palin and the Tea Party, there may be a reason.

A Harris Interactive poll released on Tuesday, Sept. 9, found that if a candidate running for office was endorsed by Obama, 45 percent of Americans would be less likely to vote for that candidate and 42 percentsay they would be more likely.

More than half of U.S. adults - 56 percent - say they would be less likely to vote for a candidate endorsed by Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate, while three in ten - 30 percent - would be more likely to do so.

As for the Tea Party’s support, two in five Americans - 41 percent - say they would be less likely to vote for their endorsed candidate, one-third - 34 percent - would be more likely and one-quarter (26%) are not at all sure.

These are some of the results of The Harris Poll of 2,775 adults surveyed online between August 9 and 16, 2010 by Harris Interactive.

Obama is quite willing to destroy this country so he can build his socialist utopia! He won the election by crafty deceit and the gullible voted for him. Democrats and republicans want a government who is for the people. Not shoving Obamacare down our throats when 60% of us didn’t want it! We want a fiscally responsible gov’t who is stingy with our money! We don’t want the institutional racism now prevalent in our gov’t. We want color blind hiring practices. We want liberty, not a big brother gov’t.

Hershey and all of his so called Journalist cronies at the DDN(DEMOCRAT NATIONAL NEWS).This Poll was probably by calls to Democrats, Muslim’s Lie and so does the DDN.

Maybe, Lee Fischer can get BHO’s support as the next Senator from Illinois.

What is so sad that so many weak-minded people have to have other make their decisions for them. Oh, but X came here and told me to vote for Y. This nation has been dumbed-down to the point of total political collapse. And, of course, the spineless union members that joined a union in the first place because they don’t have enough guts (or brains) to make their own decision, follow their leaders like sheep to slaughter. If you aren’t smart enough on your own to determine who gets your vote, you shouldn’t even be ALLOWED to vote. Pathetic losers can’t even decide which hamburger to buy at the drive-through, and they are allowed to vote? Beyond comprehension, unless you are a Democrat.

Harris is on crack. The election results over the past year indicate otherwise. Harris only WANTS the results to be what Harris reports. Why are son many Democrat candidates talking like conservatives?
