Poll: Americans would blame Republicans more than Obama for a government shutdown

If this really is the attitude of most Americans, then we won't be able to cut spending in ANY major way as long as Obama is President and one house still belongs to the Democrats.

The reason why shutdowns loom is because of disagreements over the budget and spending. Republicans want to cut it, while Democrats resist.

Well, I say, let’s bring it on.

Either educate the American people as to Hussein’s evil ways of enslaving generations of Americans to debt—or start printing money on every street corner and let the nation crumble.

Get a pair of BALLS, Republican leadership. You’ll find them if you look hard enough.

If it’s a CNN poll, then who took part in the poll???

Start?

CNN sends a shot over the Republicans’ bow - “cooperate or we’ll blame you.” That might have been very effective five years ago. I suspect CNN may be surprised at how much their own partisanship has eroded that power.

I say the Poll is BS. Mostly libs, Dims, Rinos, dips, dweebs, press and foreigners surveyed.

Bets?

[skeeter]

The democrat/media cabal working their little routine again. Maybe it'll work again, maybe not.

I almost hope it works and the money DOES run out, as it inevitably will.

God forgive me, I'm actually looking forward to the well running dry for the leaches.

AMERICANS wouldn't blame the Republicans. Those freakin' idiots who moved here from somewhere else looking for freebies and handouts would. Americans have to pay taxes. They want the damn government shut down so they won't be able to give out freebies and handouts to the morons who crawled out of a sewer to come here.

So far here are the things for which we know people will blame Republicans: Government shutdown, US bankruptcy, California bankruptcy, global warming, global cooling, the demise of American Idol, dearth of sun spots, oil shortage, bankruptcy of Social Security, and the fact that the Minnesota Vikings think a football game only lasts thirty minutes. Republicans will also likley be blamed for continental drift and both outcomes in multiple coin tosses.

Let's shut 'er down and see what happens.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

how many of those think it would be a bad thing?

[pallis]

I don’t care. We are a nation held hostage to government shutdowns by the lying Democrats. Don’t give in to the terrorists.

[killermosquito]

I would be glad to give the credit (not blame) to the Republican’s.

[LibFreeUSA]

If its pre-ordained that the blame will be on the Republicans, well then, PULL THE PIN!

[M-cubed]

In other “unexpected” News......Junkies blame law enforcement for lack of drugs

[Aglooka]

A shutdown probably would hurt reps more because it fits the “obstructionist” and “party of no” labels regurgitated by the dem talking heads.

[Gene Eric]

>> If this really is the attitude of most Americans

I don’t know? Is Boehner out there educating the good people?

[jwalsh07]

Well that certainly explains the dem midterm wipeout and the loss of dem seats in Brooklyn and Nevada. I mean obviously the CNN pollees don’t vote.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

dips, dweebs

Fags & feebs, geeks & dweebs.

“....educate the American people as to Hussein’s evil ways....”

Too late for that.
