Majority Of Americans Think It's 'Bad For The Country' That Republicans Control The H

[Crabtownboy]

The GOP has a lot of work to do during the coming year.

Fifty-four percent think it's bad that Republicans control the House, the poll found. That's up from 43 percent in December 2012, during the last fiscal standoff. The figure is the first time a majority thought Republican control was bad for the country since CNN started asking in December 2010. Sixty-three percent of respondents want Boehner replaced, but by another Republican, which would not change GOP control of the House.

Sorry; would you please provide a credible, non-liberal/non-Huffington source.

All this says is that the majority of Americans are mindless, ignorant sheep. I knew this following last November.

 

[Winman]

OK, so a majority of Americans are idiots, that's why Obama has won two terms.

Yes, the GOP has a lot of work to do. They can either change their party back to a conservative majority and govern, or continue to play games and become extinct. The numbers are not there at present to effect change.

The major difference in this question between you and me is that your solution is for the Democrats to take back the House which is no solution at all. That only makes the present bad situation worse. The very few conservatives left in the Republican Party cannot change Social Security, Medicare, immigration problems, the deficit, and many other areas. The standing leadership only helps the Democrat agenda, and until the Republicans change, they are going to lose policy battles and elections.

Politicians, of all parties, are bad for the country.

We should treat them like diapers.

 

[Aaron]

You're just trying to say they're all equally bad. Not true. The Democrats (including those in Republican clothing) are absolute death to life and liberty, and are hell-bent on the subjugation of the population.

A bunch of baby-killing faggots. That's what the Dems are.

A search of this came up with nothing but on single source for this. It is not likely this is a legitimate scientific poll. It is a dream full of wishes by the far left.

Well there we go, The CNN title ought to read everyone take s a hit. You will find that out if you actually read beyond the title. And the majority of Americans think Obamacare is bad for America.

 

[Crabtownboy]

Of course ostridges with their head in the sand will continue to be in denial. ROFL

The first new poll is a nationwide survey by CNN/ORC International that reinforces just how much the shutdown hurt the Republican brand. Control of the House by the GOP is deemed “bad for the country” by 54 percent of Americans, up 11 percentage points from December 2012. People aren’t happy with the party’s leadership, either: 63 percent want Representative John Boehner (R-Ohio) to be replaced as speaker of the House. As I explained last week, it was unlikely the Tea Party would have ousted Boehner, because any likely replacement wouldn’t have been more conservative. But that doesn’t mean the broader public hasn’t grown frustrated with how Boehner tried to placate both the conservative and moderate wings of his party. In an interesting twist, it’s independents—those key swing voters—who are even more likely to want to replace Boehner than people who identify as Democrats or Republicans.

and what are the ratings for Obama

Obama is the greatest Democrat ever to be President. So it is only natural that the GOP would be on the outs. Actually, the GOP is on the way out and the Taxed Enough Already Party is on the way in. Leaders of the GOP all have pre-existing conditions so that they can now get healthcare from Obama. The pre-existing condition, as you know, is lack of backbone.

and what are the ratings for Obama

Irrelevant, he will not be running again. GOP congressmen/women will be running again and they are becoming an endangered species. The Tea Party is killing them ... and that will be tragic for the nation.

But OBAMA will still be POTUS for the elections in 2014 - will his endorsement help or hurt the "D"?

I expect it will depend on the district or state the candidate if running in and also on what happens in the coming months.

For all of you RINO apologists that have lost perspective of history, John Kennedy was to the right of both Bushes, McCain and Romney.

Thanks for giving us the Democrat line that the Taxed Enough Already Party is bad for the nation but that me-too Republicans are not bad for the nation. By nation, I guess that you mean the Democrat Party. You have the greatest Democrat ever in the White House--he has given you all of your liberal dreams--and you are worried so much about the Tea Party that you illegally used the IRS to attack them. Now you have me agreeing with the guy who said that the Redskins should change their name to the Thin Skins.

Did you really think that the Democrat march to total government control would go unopposed? Did you really think that everyone wants to live in a Democrat Shangri-la?

And Kennedy's opponents called him a Socialist. Just shows they use the word but have no idea what they are talking about.

Seems that even a majority of Republicans disagree with the House Republican stance;

Yes, both sides took a hit. But the GOP took a much larger hit.
