Hot Rails To Hell

clipped from hotair.com In misunderstanding these reasons, Democrats run the risk of squandering their opportunity to lead.  Independents now have a majority that say government overregulates, up 12 points since last year.  In another question, 57% believe that government is now trying to do too much, up from below a majority earlier in the year, while those who say government should do more has dropped to 38%.  Those numbers are actually worse among independents, 63%-33%, the Democrats’ key demographic to their 2006 and 2008 victories. Those two elections gave Democrats an opportunity to show they could lead an essentially center-right nation on a path towards fiscal responsibility and careful use of government power.  Instead, they took it to mean that the electorate wanted them to go on an even bigger spending spree than the Republicans did, with more government intervention and more infringement on personal choices than ever before.  They’re on a high-speed rail trip to electoral disaster
