What Conservatives REALLY fear is...

...that positive signs in the economy will reveal their claims of Obama's economic failure to be BS.  This, the latest data, is from May.

INCREASE IN NEW ORDERS FOR MANUFACTURED GOODS

Durable goods orders in May were a buoyed by 5.8 percent bounce back in transportation equipment, with motor vehicle orders rising 0.6 percent after plunging 5.3 percent the previous month.
That suggested some improvement in auto production, which has been hit by a shortage of parts from Japan.
Excluding transportation, durable goods orders increased 0.6 percent after a 0.4 percent fall in April.
Outside of transportation, orders for machinery, primary metals, capital goods, electrical equipment and appliances, and computers and electronic products all rose.
Non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, a closely watched proxy for business spending, rebounded to increase 1.6 percent last month after a 0.8 percent fall in April. Economists had expected a 1.0 percent increase.
"Business continues to spend on new equipment, the only mystery is why they are not adding to staff to run the machines they are buying," said Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ in New York.

OVERALL ECONOMY CONTINUES TO GROW

The economy grew at an annual rate of 1.9 percent in the first quarter, the department said in another report, up from a previously estimated 1.8 percent. That marks a sharp slowdown from the 3.1 percent rate in the fourth quarter.

.....that President Obama, in the debt ceiling and deficit reduction debate, will look like the (only) adult in the room.

Despite misleading Repub ads (saying that Dems are reducing Medicare, when Dems are cutting NOT benefits, but subsidies to private insurers) claiming to "save" Medicare, most Seniors understand that historically it has been Repubs who have opposed Medicare (except for the unfunded Rx giveaway to PHARMA under Bush43) and they are suspicious of the Repubs on this issue.  

It also seems that more Seniors are realizing that Ryan's plan will actually cut their benefits, while preserving lower taxes for people making more than $250,000.

...that voters will begin to realize that President Obama has done a great job.

...that their hypocrisy will continue to be exposed.

Latest case in point:

58% OF HOUSE GOP SUPPORTS CONTINUED SUBSIDIES TO
COTTON GROWERS IN BRAZIL  

As the Republicans in Congress continue to push President Obama to approve deep budget cuts as a condition for raising the debt ceiling, most of them refuse to repeal a program that seems like a clear case of wasteful spending. In response to a World Trade Organization ruling that American cotton subsidies were unfair, the U.S. responded by sending $147 million in subsidies to Brazilian cotton farmers, in addition to the $835 million American cotton farmers received in 2010. The House recently voted to repeal this policy, against the wishes of most Republican members

141 of the 242 GOP representatives voted to preserve the measure. Notably, several of the House GOP’s top leaders voted to continue subsidizing Brazilian cotton farmers. Majority Leader Eric Cantor (VA-7), Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (CA-22), and Ways and Means Committee Chairman David Camp (MI-4) all voted down the repeal despite the fiscally conservative rhetoric they have all deployed extensively in recent months.

...that the Dow will reach a 4-year high.

They're also concerned about Americans buying American cars.

And what's this...jobless claims and mortgage deliquencies hit 4 and 3-year lows, respectively?

But look on the bright side, y'all...Barry's raising gas prices!
