That is not a "partisan divide". It only shows how much liberals are either A. out of
touch or B. clinging to their biases.
The natural inertia of government (all government) is to grow. Our Federal system
is out of control. Just because "there ought to be a law" doesn't mean in falls to

America... AOL's Political Machine
Does CNN ever interpret a poll objectively, or are its employees merely making
up news stories to agree with their own political philosophies, regardless of the
poll results?
Why now? Why didn't all these whiners take to the streets when George
WWWWW Bush was in the process of eroding our civil rights, having telecom
companies spying on us, capturing our data, and tightening our ability to move
freely in the country and to Canada?
Why now? WHAT? What are these people talking about? Whine to the
Republicans who TOOK YOUR FREEDOMS AWAY!
That's exactly what the Government has been doing to our rights since the
beginning of this country.
It hurts having less viewers than local public access shows, doesn't it?
Many of the practices put in place by the Bush Administration ARE a threat to our
rights and freedoms.
The really sad thing is that the Obama Administration has done little, if anything,
to correct the situation.
So what you really mean is that everybody in the country understands that their
freedoms are at risk, other than the left, who make up the minority as the country
is more center right. To be honest, I am actually just as concerned that almost 4
in 10 liberals are concerned also...
On another tack, what kind of poll is this? How were the questions actually
worded? There's so much potential for all sorts of radical media spin, for the
sake of advertising dollars, that I begin to have little faith in polls of any kind,
conducted by anyone.
Why do you list specific percentages for democrats and independents, but say
"nearly" for republicans? Don't give some specific percentages and some vague
percentages. I have noticed this in a few different articles lately.
Try giving the actual numbers in all instances from now on.
"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve
neither liberty or security" – Benjamin Franklin
I was actually more concerned about my rights under the bush admin who
viewed the constitution as just a gd piece of paper. And they proved it with their
actions.
Though it should be a huge alarm bell to the Dems that 37% actually do think so.
Term limits for all govt positions and expiration of the patriot act would be a good
start to stopping the momentum.
These politicians have no clue and are bought and sold by lobbiests.
"When a people fear their government there is tyranny, when a government fears
the people there is liberty"
37% is still pretty bad. I think this pretty much sums up the perspective of all
hardworking americans, and it points out exactly what the Nancy Pelosi's of the
US don't get. Our sentiment is 'do good, but do not EVER sacrifice the rights of
one man to benefit the 'greater good', because that is always a ploy'.
Obama is a statist and a Euro-style socialist. The Dems have become the new
fascists (who were socialists by the way).
Also, why not inform what political association those being polled (IE how many
Republicans vs Democrats) belong to.
Because for me theses polls are starting to become meaningless if they do not
at least try to be impartial.
The people have spoken and it is unanimous, smaller government is the way to
go.
It's also a violation of the rights of the middle class when Repugnants give tax
breaks to their rich buddies, leaving the bill to working folks. And neo-cons are
always threatening to take away rights from women and anyone who doesn't fit
with their narrow version of "Christianity", which is mostly based on Old
Testament eye-for-an-eye philosophy. In fact, the Party of No is all about
restricting individual rights. That's why they should never be allowed back into
power. Each time they are, they chisel away more individual liberty.
Scariest words? "I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help..."
I think the government of this country is teetering on the brink. That is what
happens, when corruption becomes rampant.
Listen America . . . it is time to take back our future for our children. Give them the
same opportunities we had. Freedom does not guarentee a success, we have to
work hard for it!
Indoctrination at the early ages in our public schools will eradicate the holdouts.
Eventually.
The spending and increase of government size by 24% in one year in the midst
of a serious financial crisis shows that they really don't care about the American
people.
They will be voted out of office for doing additional damage to our economy
cloaked in the disguise of a stimulus bill and all of the other spending which
were mostly payoffs to cronies for helping win an election.
On a side note, good to see that CNN is finally (perhaps because it can no longer
be supressed) reporting news that more accurately reflects the tone of the nation
and not the spin coming from the WH and majority in Congress.
Partisan Divide??? are you really that stupid or is your liberal idiocy coming into
play here....you actually state 63% of independents...INDEPENDENTS!!!....ass
clown.
Frankly, I would rather see two or three U. S. Air Marshals, with a license to kill, on
every flight, than to have my personal privacy invaded by those Federal morons.
Right now, I'd rather drive than to put up with the hassle at an airport.
Prediction: Within ten years, citizens will not be allowed to travel state to state
wtihou proper Gov't approved documentation - all in the name of security. As the
Gastapo would say in NAZI Germany, "Where are your papers?"
NYC was "ungovernable" until Giuliani cleaned up the streets, cut welfare in half,
cut taxes, promoted tourism and the financial industry, and then SUDDENLY,
NYC was governable again.
DC is only "broken" because the vast Dem. majorities in House and Senate
cannot solve their internal disorganization and disputes or Obamanationcare
would've passed last summer.
Even sadder is the fact that creating fear in America is exactly what Obama wants
to do.
Perhaps the 1,023 adult Americans questioned in the poll forgot about the
Patriotic Act, or, probably were only allowed to answer yes or no to the carefully
selected questions.
I think the survey is a farce. What geographic area was surveyed, and how were
the people selected?
Remain vigilant people. The tireless minority want a hand-out, and will continue
to demand that the government provide a nanny state, and cradle to grave
benefits.

All conservatives are not stupid; all stupid people are conservative
Every time there is more legislation and regulation,for each new government
agency and policy we give up a little.
truth is any government whether Republican or Democrat is taking our rights and
they must ALL be stopped. Democrats please wake up to this.......
And it's no one's fault but our own! We elect leaders that want to tell you who can
marry or not marry. They decide for you if an abortion is right for YOU or not.....
We elect leaders that want to regulate your most PERSONAL and PRIVATE lives.
We get what we deserve.
I, and EVERYONE around my world, have NEVER been polled!!! NEVER!! Also,
whose home during the day to answer the polls?? When are the polls taken???
Are CELL PHONES included??? Are BLACK people included??? Are GAYS
included?
Another thing – how could these numbers be so right when EVERY Republican
agreed with almost EVERYTHING in the Health Care Bill – which means they
would have voted for it ONLY if the process was started over???? Huh? They
want it to start over so they can LIE to the people that the PLAN passed because
of THEM!!!
We need to get the money out of elections. We need to get the money out of
politics (starting with K street). We need to get the money out of the news
industry, so they can report news not gossip.
Poll question on the home page of CNN asked, "How do you view the White
House Health Care Summit? Productive or a waste of time?" It accomplished
nothing productivity wise, but it was a showcase of the bullstuff that the
Republican Party has been peddling as policy.

Our freedom and liberty are at stake; we are going to have to fight to get it back,
all of it! November 2010 can't come soon enough.
Vote conservative, people. Unless you like being a slave to Obama, Reid and
Pelosi, and want to condemn future generations with the same fate.
I they had the truth about what government does they will have a different view.
The greatest threat to our rights and freedoms stem from FEAR. It is caused by
those who wish to scare us into doing their will and it is caused by our lack of
knowledge of how our government works and the lack of participation in it.
Over come the FEAR with the gathering of knowledge and take a more active role
in the government and those who attempt to use fear will find themselves
standing alone, out in the cold trying to convince themselves that their tactics are
working.
Where was all of the outrage then? Clearly this "anti-govt." sentiment is motivated
by politics and partisanship. It's a strategy by the right-wing to regain power, and
nothing more. What a bunch of shallow hypocrites!
Also, look back at our Continental Congress, as they decided whether or not to
declare independence, the debates were fierce and the process was very slow.
It is this ugly, slow process that makes our system the best. If you are really
worried about our rights, then you just let one party start making fast, undebated
decisions, and see what happens to your "rights".
Have a nice day out there folks!! Ü
Go figure. The other 63% of democrats are either federal employees, in unions,
or perpetually have their deadbeat hands outreached looking for yet another
handout from the nanny government.
