Nancy goes on “America Live” with subbing host, Shannon Bream to discuss why President Obama is losing support from independents. She also weighs in on Ed Gillespie’s comment that the president holds disdain for the American people.
On the Independent voters: The generic party preference is a whole different deal than the specific congressional candidates. The party in power always loses seats in the first election and the slow recovery will magnify that but the question of whether Democrats will lose control will come down to individual races and candidates.
And Democrats have not done as badly as predicted. In the Michigan gubernatorial primaries, for instance, the liberal Democrat beat the conservative one, and the most moderate of 5 GOP candidates won. Harry Reid is beating Sharron Angle, Joe Sestak beat conservative Democrat Arlen Spector. So Nancy doesn’t see a bloodbath in November.
On Obama’s Disdain: Gillespie made his remarks because of Obama’s comments supporting the constitutional rights of the Muslims to be build a Mosque at ground zero. Gillepsie must have “disdain for the constitution” if he is saying that legal rights be damned of the minorities. The constitution clearly protects religious freedom. The tea party is all about the constitution. You can’t pick and choose what you support. And for Democrats who want to play fast and loose because they are worried about voter backlash, Nancy’s advice is to get a backbone.
