Polls: Public Fury at Budget Impasse Surges — Voters Turn to Tea Party

The war of words over a possible government shutdown escalated sharply Thursday afternoon, even as polls suggest voters are increasingly angry over the political games that are standing in the way of budget cuts and a deal to fund federal operations.

Members of both parties jeered each other on the floor of the House Thursday, as congressional decorum appeared to break down. At one point Democrats chanted “Bush, Bush, Bush!” in an effort to blame the nations budget woes on former President George W. Bush.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., reminded colleagues: “We are trying to do the business of the American people. We do not want to shut the government down. We don’t accept the status quo. We don’t want to bankrupt this nation. We believe there is a fiscal crisis demanding urgent action.”

House Speaker John Boehner later remarked that the two sides appear further apart than they were 24 hours ago.

Pollsters say voters appear to be increasingly incensed at the political impasse that threatens the normal functions of government. A Rasmussen Reports poll Thursday showed that 48 percent of voters now say their views are closer to the tea party than to members of Congress.

Pollster Scott Rasmussen tells Newsmax that identification with the tea party actually reflects an extraordinary level of frustration over the inability of Congress and both parties to manage the nation's business.

“There is a large backlash building against both parties for their failure to grapple with larger budget issues.”

0bama wants the shut down so Republicans can be blamed..he is also aiming at the military.
When all he has left is Al Sharpton to rouse his government hand-out base, he’s pretty much out of the picture.
The puppet master wasted a lot of resources TOTUS.

backlash in both parties...OK. How stupid can people be? None of the main stream republicans nor any of the tards are in DC to do ‘the peoples business’. They’re there to enrich themselves. That said it should be ball bat in the face OBVIOUS none of the tards want to trim anything as witnessed by their antics in the last Congress.

Read,"there's a backlash against the party that politicizes everything, and did not pass the 2011 budget when they had time and power to do so, but instead, punted so as to try to score political points by creating an impasse and trying to blame the opposing party"

” At one point Democrats chanted “Bush, Bush, Bush!” in an effort to blame the nations budget woes on former President George W. Bush.”

If the guy that came after him has now filed to run for his re-election, then blaming Bush is as effective as blaming Reagan.

What a joke. The globalist Bush family has been part of the problem, but they are a bottle-rocket part of the problem. The Democrats and the golem currently operating under the alias of Barack Hussein Obama have been the dirty bomb.

I wonder how much the people will save in dollars each day the government is shut down. Anyone ever seen this figure?
