Folks, America is getting an up-front and personal view into the minds of these heartless tea-party republicans. For years, it has always been my contention that the GOP doesn't care about improving the lives of average Americans. This polls says America agrees with me.
I firmly believe they have used "Fox News of the World" and other assorted entities to protect the interests of corporate giants for decades. They have used wedge issues like abortion, minority rights and the Nation's debt to beat democrats over the head and I'm personally sick of it.
Finally, finally, they have boxed themselves in and America is not very pleased. Check out this breaking WAPO poll that clearly shows our side is winning for a change:
"The president also has a double-digit lead when it comes to caring more about people’s own family financial interests and edges out the GOP on helping small businesses, which has been a flash point in the high-profile, big-stakes contest over debt and deficits.
...Asked who cares more about the financial concerns of middle-class Americans, Obama has a big advantage, 53 percent to 35 percent, over the Republicans in Congress. He’s up 47 percent to 37 percent when poll respondents were asked about themselves and their families. On protecting the interests of small businesses, 48 percent of Americans say Obama cares more; 39 percent say so of the GOP."
So now, the House GOP "must" vote to raise the debt ceiling and everyone including their own party will hate them for this. All of this makes me very happy.
Yes we freakin' can!!!
