From Rasmussen:
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 64% of Likely GOP Primary Voters believe the gap between Americans who want to govern themselves and politicians who want to rule over them is now as big as it was between the American Colonies and Great Britain in the 18th century. Just 16% disagree with this sentiment, and 20% aren’t sure…
…Eighty-seven percent (87%) say the federal government has become a special interest group that looks out primarily for its own interests. Just six percent (6%) don’t share that view.
Two-out-of-three GOP voters (67%) think big business and the government often work together in ways that hurt consumers and investors…
Overall, 76% of likely voters trust the people more than the government – but the sentiment is clearly strongest among GOP voters. The bottom line is that we don’t trust them – and “them” is the political as well as economic Ruling Class. We really are ready for change we can believe in – we just know we won’t get it from the current crop of political leaders. It is time for a revolution.
A revolution, it must be said, at the ballot box. By a providential act, the men who set up this country turned out to be people of rare wisdom – they created a system which, in spite of a century of liberal efforts as subversion, is still ultimately responsive to the will of the people. If we rise up in 2012 and beyond, we can put in to power people in tune with our ideas – of small government, less corruption, no special dealing…a government of, by and for the people.
As an aside, I do think we’ve already got a ready-made theme song. Using it, in and of itself, will cause liberals to choke with rage…and that is a good thing, all the time.
