With leadership Like Mike Protack, is this surprising?
Poll: Republican Party Now Less Popular Than Dick Cheney
Lost in the news yesterday about the polls showing eroding support for Obama’s policies was a funny detail in the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll: The overall popularity of the Republican Party has now dropped below even the abysmal level of approval enjoyed by Dick Cheney.
The poll found that 26% of respondents have a very positive or somewhat positive view of Cheney, up eight points from April. Meanwhile, it found that the GOP overall is viewed very or somewhat positively by only 25%, down four points from April.
Okay, the difference is within the margin of error, making this a statistical tie. But still, this is pretty awful for the GOP, given that for a long time Cheney’s historic unpopularity seemed to define a kind of low-water mark among Republicans.

Do you mean Mike Protack, Leader of the Delaware Republican Party, is part of the problem and not part of the solution?

There was a different poll earlier in the week (Gallup) that showed that Republicans were less trusted than health insurance companies to fix healthcare. It was something like (from memory) 58% trust Obama, 47% trust Democrats, 35% trust health insurance companies and 34% trust Republicans to fix healthcare.

Here is the truth. It isn’t about pure party registration, read below. It appears Liberals qulaify for the Endangered Species Act.
PRINCETON, NJ — Thus far in 2009, 40% of Americans interviewed in national Gallup Poll surveys describe their political views as conservative, 35% as moderate, and 21% as liberal. This represents a slight increase for conservatism in the U.S. since 2008, returning it to a level last seen in 2004. The 21% calling themselves liberal is in line with findings throughout this decade, but is up from the 1990s.

Sorry boys and girls but you doth protest too much and the truth is Obama’s policies are failing and not viewed as effective.
Keep trying and keep attacking but the liberal cause is killing economic growth and jobs but feeding the deficit and national debt.
Mike Protack

Ow…!
The stupidity. It burns!
Comment by Art Downs on 20 June 2009 at 6:52 am:
What sort of position in the Delaware GOP is occupied by Mike Protack other than that of a former candidate? Is there some unreported news?
Has he ever held a post with the status of a Tom Capano or a Sherry Freebery, two very high profile Democrats?

Art,
I’m not sure you want to be seen in public questioning Mike’s leadership. Just a friendly word of advice.

Oh dear. Apparently Art isn’t on the pink postcard mailing list.
And Mike Protack, Leader of the Delaware Republican Party, is still all hung up on what people say, instead of what they do. You know, like how they say they’re conservative but keep voting for Democrats.
But then, that’s not surprising for Mike Protack, Leader of the Delaware Republican Party. He’s been saying he’s the party’s inevitable leader for years now, but if you watch what he does, he’s still the same thing he’s always been — a know-it-all who doesn’t realize how far out of his depth he really is.
