| Of the (66%) of United States voters who selected either Democrat or Republican, (53%) choose Democrat as their response in Question #1 while (47%) choose Republican. Republican and U.S. Tea Party totals (44.5%), while Democrat and Green Party totals nearly (47%). |
| California Democrats need the Green vote--won’t Republicans value it as well? |
| Democrats in Seattle and Portland gave Democrats the biggest lead over Republicans (44 - 33%), however Republicans beat Democrats in both the southeast and tie in the southwest United States. |
| The U.S. Tea Party scores (a stunning) (20%) in the southeast and (14%) in the northeast, but only (08%) in the southwest. -- I thought this had its origins in Boston--and American Independence from British Rule-- what are we mixing through--- / -- The American civil war and/or American revolution? |
| In the U.S. southeast -- a sort of ‘philosophical chaos’ driven by disbelief coupled with fear, frustration and anger (41%) of respondents choose either U.S. Tea Party, Green Party or Independent. |
| Most significantly, (56%) of respondents in the southeast selected “Both British Petroleum and the U.S. Federal Government” from question #2 -- nearly two and one half times the average in the rest of the entire United States. |
| Make no mistake though -- BP are the baddest of the bad - in this tragedy--of such disgusting magnitude -- that Americans probably would have preferred President Obama follow what Democratic strategist James Carville, or Political-Comedian Bill Maher suggested -- the former demanding for criminal charges to be laid -- while Maher believed that President Obama should ‘show a gun’ in front of his trousers to the next meeting with B.P. (like a gangstar). Certainly Mr. Maher’s sentiment could well ring true with many Americans--however my conservative analysis would be that this is not very likely to happen -- |
| I wrote a love letter to Concrete Blonde’s lead singer Johnette Napolitano--a few weeks back, not simply because I believe she is the best female rock voice of all time//sure Anne Wilson has the 100 mile fastball but so does Napolitano / who can change up her pitches like nothing I’ve seen//Mick and the Stones will want her and that spanky lead guitarist as guest in ‘Exile on Main Street//The Musical’ Tour -- Mr. Carville was ripping some chords off his instrument--good minds think alike. |
| Concrete Blonde - Someday - Live David Letterman may show the way as the past reveals the future--and California considers (14%) Green support in that State. Every California citizen -- should feel the passion of Ms. Napolitano. |
| On =========a ‘blog’ in an on-line newspaper in Vancouver, British Columbia--The Georgia Straight the subject is aid to Haiti. The Government of Canada announces $5 million -- while glen p robbins suggests $50 million is more appropriate--it’s $100 million and counting from Canada----you know what my polling is intended to commit to is the concept of ‘get on with it’ -- in Canada political delaying and jacking around is a past time-- a kind of royal past time-- what has to be done -- has to be done -don’t take months thinking about it--leaders do not have the luxury of being able to put off 50% of decisions as might have been the norm as recently as the 1990’s - I am thinking Bill Clinton here--I believe the pressure is on to deal with more -- and do it faster. The British Petroleum Oil and Gas disaster (sung by the Bee Gees -- to New York Mining Disaster 1941) ‘Have you seen any life Mr. Jones -- do you (even) want to go out on the outside.’ |
| You can feel the anxiety rising among Americans, particularly those closer to the offshore oil and gas disaster -- in the Southeastern United States--the lack of clear accountability and pointing fingers from British Petroleum - which seem to freeze Washington, perhaps concerned about potential liability dispute -- but not able to speak to this -- while the people and in particular the leaders in the region affected are screaming clearly for what is needed. |
| This coupled with some regrettable public relations endeavours-obviously drives a clear majority of Americans into selecting British Petroleum from a line-up of response choices as a type of Public Enemy number one. However -- in the Southeast of the United States -- where the ugly action is -- blame BP and the US Federal Government equally--President Obama needs to assure Americans that he won’t invoke the Bill Maher suggestion--lest his government be seen by more Americans as Public Enemy number two. |
| Where do you put the terrorists in this scenario? |
