51% Favor Government Shutdown Until Congress Cuts Health Care Funding

51% Favor Government Shutdown Until Congress Cuts Health Care Funding.

President Obama yesterday criticized congressional Republicans for insisting on spending cuts in any budget deal that continues government operations past October 1, saying they risk "economic chaos." Most voters agree a federal government shutdown would be bad for the economy, but they're willing to risk one until Democrats and Republicans in Congress agree on ways to cut the budget, including cuts in funding for the new national health care law.


TOPICS: Politics/Elections
KEYWORDS: obamacare; poll; shutdown
May be Boehner derived some courage from this poll which found 51% favor a partial government shutdown until Obamacare is defunded.

58% favor a federal budget that cuts spending, while only 16% prefer one that increases spending. Twenty-one percent (21%) support a budget that keeps spending levels about the same

With all due respect to decorum: F*** the polls. D*** the torpedoes, flank speed. The only way through the MSM fog is to force the entire cadre against you all at once. Have the MSM draw attention to the fight! Have them shout over and over that there is a battle raging. Then come out with well crafted articles against this tyranny...and hold the line.

I agree.
You must draw the fire and hold the line.
Raise the fear level to extremes and then show the way out.

The liberal media will work its propaganda magic on the public and will whittle that poll number down in time.

How about a complete government exodus? Could anyone go for that for good long while?

The government shuts down every weekend. Only essential personnel are on duty.

No GOPers have proposed or said they support a government shut down by Obama.

I wonder what a poll for a permanent shutdown would reveal?

No one EVER polls me, Dammit!

I favor storming DC with torches and pitchforks, hot tar and feathers and public hangings from lamp posts.

Join me? ;)

Remember when the sequester was supposed to be the End of the World and would DOOOOOOM the GOP for sure?

It should be okay, as long as Boner doesn’t go around telling the media that he shut things down because Obama wasn’t nice to him (like Newt did in reference Clinton during the ‘95 shutdown).

I’m not so sure this time.
The ones actually paying for all this crap (i.e. out of control Gov’t spending) are now tapped. The credit cards are maxxing out, the lines of credit are getting harder to obtain (remember, we are talking the ones PAYING for all the gov’t crap), everything that is needed to actually live is going up in price only the mediots and gov’t won’t report on that. The party is drawing to a close.

I should note a secondary; while the packages "look" the same at the grocery store, the quantity within in is much less. Gas prices remain high (yes, 3.60+ is high for fuel given the resources this country has), going into winter and heating homes is going to be a real shock for some (recall allllll those coal plants being shut down? thanks, union assholes for NOT listening), full time jobs are falling off the map while no benefit part time jobs are becoming the norm (read that as more and more disposable income will go to "healthcare" that jug ears promised would be reduced).

It would not take too much at this point for Russia or China to wage economic warfare on us and win easily or the saudi's (our friends, right?) to gouge us or Iran to shut down the gulf or, or, or...

The liberals have royally screwed the United States up. The "Republicans" have royally screwed the United States up.

Get ready now the best you can because no one will have much left for sympathy to you and yours soon...

The 51% that Pull-The-Wagon everyday, all year, want the majority of the people in the wagon to GET-OUT and pull the wagon.

Blunt and to the point.............
