In a recent Washington Post
poll, only 21 percent of Americans identified themselves as Republicans.
Overwhelming Democrat majorities in Congress marginalize Republicans in
government. Still, Democrats continue to run against the last Republican
administration as they attempt to rush transformational legislation through
Congress, worrying about Republican gains in the 2010 election.
At the same time, President
Barack Obama has declared all-out war on Fox News, Rush Limbaugh,
the US Chamber of Commerce, and the health insurance industry.
Democrats in and out of
government attack and ridicule the "tea-party" movement as the
left-wing blogosphere and entertainment communities attack conservative Sarah Palin
as if she already were running against Barack Obama in the 2012
election.
Conservatives, however, spend
almost as much time criticizing Republicans as they do Democrats. In the race
for the vacant seat in the 23rd District of New York, national Republican
politicians are supporting the Conservative Party candidate over the
Republican.
What's going on here, and who
is really running against whom?
