Complete poll results here.

"So far, the U.S. Congress has been unable to reach an agreement on raising the limit on America's debt. If any agreement is not reached by August 2nd, the government will run out of the cash it needs to pay the federal government's bills on time. How concerned, if at all, are you about this issue: very concerned, somewhat concerned, not very concerned, or not at all concerned?"

Very concerned             54% 
Somewhat concerned     29%
Not very concerned        8%
Not at all concerned       6%
Unsure/Refused             2%

             
"Who do you blame most for the failure so far of the debt talks in Washington: Republican lawmakers, Democrat lawmakers, or President Obama?"

Republican lawmakers    31%
President Obama           21%       
Democrat lawmakers       9%

"And who do you think should give the most ground in order to reach a deal: Republican lawmakers, Democrat lawmakers, or President Obama?"

Republican lawmakers    29%       
President Obama          25%       
Democrat lawmakers     20%

"As you probably know, the U.S. budget deficit is currently about 1.4 trillion dollars. There are a number of different solutions being discussed for reducing this deficit. These are cutting existing programs, raising taxes, or some combination of the two. Which approach do you think is best?"

Cut existing programs  19%
Raise taxes                12%

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

The funny part is that the Republicans think they're scoring political points with this nonsense!

It's also hysterical that Boner comes up with a budget plan whose cuts fall a couple of hundred billion short of adding up to the $1.2 trillion number he keeps throwing around.  I guess no one told him there would be math in this job.  LOL!

  Let's see, Boner has wrote three budgets and the Tea Baggers in the party is still unhappy.  He got pissed and told them to get off their ass and the Tea Baggers are still unhappy. :cry:

  I wonder where all of the bankers, stock market, corporations and the super rich who has one hell of a lot money on a default to tell the Bagger to get off their ass.  :biggrin:

  When this is over I wonder if you can even call the GOP the Republican Party.  The main party is the Tea Party.  Maybe the Republican Party can be the third party.  :yeah:

  Just think that the Koch brothers, Rupert Murdoch with Fox News and Dick Army started the Tea Party.  It sorta puts you in mind of the movie "Frankenstein", they created a monster.  :biggrin:  As Jackie Gleason use to say, "How sweeeeeet it is".  :rotfl:  :rotfl:  :yeah:

There is going to be a reckoning, but their state of denial doesn't allow them to see it.

Instead they choose to blame it on the one instead of the many!

(They cannot help it. They are just surrendering to the path of least resistance as their primitive genetic structure makes them inclined to).

  What the Fu*k.  It seem that Rep Jeb Hersarling want to repeal the tax cut on the pay roll tax for the working men and women of America.  He said this tax cut was going to increase the deficit.  He said that the worker don't even know they have it and he would like to see it go away.

  Isn't it amazing how George W's tax cut for the rich and corporations isn't causing a huge deficit.  Just look at the meter above.   :rolleyes: :razz:

  Where are you  "ME"?  You always jump on something I say about Republicans.  Are you going to defend the Republican leadership on this one?  It is a tax raise on the working people. :doh: 

  Oh, I know only the super rich get tax cuts.  :genius: :knife:  Honey Poo. :kiss:

Republicans were smart to take the debt ceiling hostage to force spending cuts, never mind the soft economy.
