I have no idea what you are talking about. And apparently, neither do you.

That same report also states: “Only 53% of American adults believe capitalism is better than socialism.”

You said:

“The Gallup Poll reported Friday (May 15, 2009) that 51 percent of Americans now call themselves “pro-life” rather than “pro-choice” (42%) on the issue of abortion. “

In fact those numbers are not on the issue of abortion. You neglected to mention the rest of the numbers….

“The new survey showed that Americans remained deeply divided on the legality of abortion — with 23 percent saying it should be illegal in all circumstances, 22 percent saying it should be legal under any circumstances, and 53 percent saying it should be legal only under certain circumstances.

CNN poll: Again you left out the fact that 60% favored same-sex civil unions.

The breakdown of those favoring gay marriage is also interesting: Among those 18 to 34 years old, 58 percent said same-sex marriages should be legal. That number drops to 42 percent among respondents 35 to 49 years old, and to 41 percent for those 50 to 64 years of age. The poll indicates that only 24 percent of Americans 65 and older support recognizing same-sex marriages as valid.

and

The latest Washington Post/ABC poll shows the highest support, finding for the first time that more people (49 percent) are in favor of gay marriage than are against it (46 percent). That’s a whopping 17 point jump in support in the poll from five years ago.

What new government efforts to regulate guns?

The poll data I quoted above disputes your data about government involvement. There are a good many more polls on the link I offered, that you might find interesting.

It is important to examine the details of any poll, in order to judge is efficacy. The Rasmussen poll asked “In order to reduce the price of gas, should drilling be allowed in offshore oil wells off the coasts of California, Florida, and other states?” Gas prices were sky high and people were fed a false premise in the question. Drilling would, as the Bush administration admitted, not lower gas prices at the pump.

“After being misinformed that drilling would lower the price of gas, it’s not surprising that voters would express support.

But what do you think the results would be if an accurate question was offered, such as: should drilling be allowed off the coasts of California, Florida and other states, even though it would NOT lower the price of gas in the next several years?”

Taxes ect:

 A  majority  of  respondents  (57  percent) told  CBS  News  in  April  that  they  would  be  “willing  to  pay   higher  taxes  so  that  all  Americans  have  health  insurance  they  can ʹt  lose, no  matter  what.” 

Similar  majorities  responded  that  they  would  be  willing  to  pay  higher  energy  bills  if  the  money  went  to  cleaner  air. 

More  people  said  that  they  think  “an  economic  agenda  focused  on  spending  for  improvements  to  the  country’s  infrastructure  such  as roads, bridges, and  schools” would  be  more  effective  than  “returning  money  to  taxpayers  through  tax  cuts” to  stimulate  the  economy  and  create  jobs    (54%   to  33%)

Gallup  found  that  Americans  have  very  different  views of  how  income  taxes  affect  people  of  different classes. 

When  asked  about  low ‐income  people, Americans  were  evenly  split, with  41% saying  they  pay  their  fair  share  and  39%  saying  they  pay  too  much  (only  16  percent  felt  they  pay  too  little). 

For  the  middle  class, the  figures  were  similar: 50% said  the  middle  class  pays  its  fair  share, while  43% said  it  pays  too  much  (only  5% said  it  pays  too  little). 

But  for  the  wealthy, the  figures  were  starkly  different: 23% said  the  wealthy  pay  their  fair share, 13% said  they  pay  too  much, and  fully  60% said  they  pay  too  little.

A  March  Pew  poll  found  that  61% of  the  public  supported  Obama’s  proposal  to  raise  taxes  on  those  making  over  $200,000  per  year.

I’ll see your Feb 9th and raise you a Feb 11th, 2009: A new USA Today/Gallup poll reports: “Public support for an $800 billion economic stimulus package has increased to 59% in the poll conducted Tuesday night.

Not right of center.

Who people vote for is a reflection of where they stand. The issues you outline above were McCain’s platform. Americans have moved decisively to the left.

“It is one of the most fundamental ideological divides between the left and the right: 

Conservatives purport to believe that government should be as  small as possible and favor market‐oriented solutions to social problems;

Progressives, on the other hand, see government playing a more vital role in meeting basic social needs, including infrastructure economic security, education, and health care.

As the most recent National Election Study (NES) data demonstrate, clear majorities of the public recognize the importance of a well‐run and well‐funded government to their lives and to the security and prosperity of the country, and, indeed, want it to do more.”

NES 2008:

The main reason government has gotten bigger

37% -“The main reason government has gotten bigger over the years is because it has gotten involved in things that people should do for themselves;

OR

62% -government has become bigger because the problems we face have become bigger”

Less Government or More Government:

32% - “The less government the better;

OR

66% -there are more things government should be doing.”

Pew Research  Center:

Government Begulation of Business:

38% - government regulation of business usually does more harm than good.”

OR 50% -“Government regulation of business is necessary to protect the public interest;

Gallup:

“Do you think it is the responsibility of the federal government to make sure all Americans have healthcare coverage?”

41% - Is NOT the federal government’s responsibility

54% - Is the federal government’s responsibility

The facts dispute your opinion.

“A Pew Research Center poll in October 2008 showed that voters identified Obama as “liberal” and roughly as far to the left as John McCain was to the right. By overwhelming numbers, voters selected the liberal candidate over the conservative one. …conservative commentators, particularly those on Fox News, have portrayed Obama as so liberal that his activist agenda bordered on socialist or even Marxist. Yet according to Gallup polling, Obama’s approval ratings for this first 100 days in office were higher than those of any president since Ronald Reagan and higher than seven of the last eight presidents at the 100 ‐day mark. It doesn’t seem likely that an entrenched center ‐right nation would reward such a liberal president with historically high job ‐ approval ratings. However, a centrist or center ‐left nation would.”

“And all indications today are that America is becoming just that. Polling data regarding a wide range of issues, including the role of big business, health care reform, gay marriage, stimulus spending, international trade, and Social Security, indicate that Americans are increasingly receptive to and comfortable with a progressive agenda.”

“in most policy areas, it is progressive ideas that enjoy majority support. …on issue after issue, and in growing percentages over time, nominal independents or moderates increasingly mirror the opinions of nominal Democrats or liberals. The majority is center-left; it is the right that is isolated.”

U.S. SENATOR TOM COBURN (R-OK) to Sam Alito : “Can you comment just about Sam Alito, and what he cares about, and let us see a little bit of your heart and what’s important to you in life?”

Sam Alito: “…when I look at those cases, I have to say to myself, and I do say to myself, “You know, this could be your grandfather, this could be your grandmother. They were not citizens at one time, and they were people who came to this country.”

“And that goes down the line. When I get a case about discrimination, I have to think about people in my own family who suffered discrimination because of their ethnic background or because of religion or because of gender. And I do take that into account. “

But exchange the name Sotomayor with Alito and suddenly “It has no place in our courts.”

90% of the left are drug addicts?

And this is an admirable addition to the conversation? This is not using addiction as a political tool?

and you are thanked for this kindness, because the liberals are so rude?

wow, if the right does it, it’s admirable, thankful, practically poetry. If the left does it, they are so very horrid.

it’s pretty funny, ain’t it?

I mean, I’m pretty sure you’re laughing.

“You do know that the country is left of center in their beliefs, don’t you?”

was posted to Mahulda Fite.

THE PRESIDENT: “I have followed this man’s career for some time, and he has excelled in everything that he has attempted. He is a delightful and warm, intelligent person, who has great empathy “

Bush nominating Judge Clarence Thomas. There was no Republican outrage about his life story or his “empathy”.

The bottom line is that she is immensely qualified for the Supreme Court.

“Within the guidelines of excellence, appointments can carry enormous symbolic significance. This permits us to guide by example, to show how deep our commitment is and to give meaning to what we profess”

…

“It is time for a woman to sit among our highest jurists. I will also seek out women to appoint to other federal courts in an effort to bring about a better balance on the federal bench.”

I never heard anything so pathetic in my whole life. Total narcissism coupled with a lack of empathy has ever been the hallmark of the authoritarian set. But projection and this weak victim role, is just creepy.

What I see is that there is no difference between what you are saying in your posts and what you accuse others of saying. You enjoy the nasty comments that the fundies make, but rend your garments from the mountain tops and chastise, when it comes from “Liberals”. That is the definition of hypocrisy.

I am glad to hear that you are through with name calling and assumptions. I will gladly extend you the same respect.

“favoring the use of torture is not a political position, it’s a mental illness.”

If you can not trash you country and your first lady, based on the actual facts, and must make up lies and then repeat them ad naseum even after they have been debunked, that really says it all about your sincerity, integrity and agenda.
