There is no way the electorate will hold it against ANY politician who refused to add another half trillion dollars to the four trillion we’ve already flushed down the toilet. I can’t imagine a vote with less downside.
Easy answer is tax them
Bull puckey.
The Republicans did not defeat the bill as presented, the few Democrats that crossed over and voted against it defeated the bill. The Republicans simply did not support it in any way.
If anybody should be burned for failure to pass this bill in the Senate, it should be those few Democrats.
Not that bill ever has a snowball’s chance in Hades if EVER it is introduced in the House. But now, it is the DEMOCRATS who have torpedoed Obama’s preposterous bill.
Just to set the record straight. Senate Republicans, in the absence of a filibuster, have no ability to stop the Democrats from doing whatever they want.
it is when their boy wonder has a 36% JA rating...
Not very popular and if you change the name from fraudulently calling it a jobs bill, to calling it "another stimulus bill" which is what it is, the numbers will get even worse for 0.
Only in 0bamaworld is a pet project with 30% acceptance considered “popular.”
This is kinda like telling us Romney is our “frontrunner” when he has 23% of the support- when 77% WANT SOMEONE ELSE
So 66% either don’t want it or couldn’t give a d@mn one way or the other and it’s popular?!?
And 75% wants Obamacare repealed but we don’t hear about that poll.
Pray for America
Oh bullshit!

Hey! With a name like “Jobs Bill,” it had to be good. :)
I suggest all Freepers who read this should go to the comments following the linked article at MSNBC. Two things stand out. First, they make for comical reading; but second, there is an undercurrent of violence brewing, voiced in some of the comments. I think we here need to be very smart, very prepared for what is coming. This could be, I think, the beginning of civil unrest, fomented by Obama’s brownshirts. One poster suggests young military vets are joining up in the “protests”, that they are gearing up for a fight. This, I think, is a call to arms. We each need to consider ouor response if challenged. It could get very ugly later this year and into the Spring.
The people surveyed had a higher opinion of the plan after pollsters listed its provisions. Once the central elements were enumerated—such as a payroll tax cut and new road construction, as well as the fact that it would be funded by raising taxes on the wealthy—63% said they favored the measure and 32% did not.
Wow, so after they pointed out ONLY the parts they wanted them to know about people had a higher opinion of the plan. Why not say “after talking them into the plan, 32% still didn’t like it”
I wonder who was polled to get these results. While the MSNBC (which talk show host Mark Levin fittingly refers to as “PMSLSD”) article refers to the poll respondents as “Americans,” I would bet the ranch that that the pollsters doing the questioning never even screened out respondents who were aliens. You can always get poll results appearing to favor the ‘Rat position on an issue if you include aliens and/or oversample Democrats and/or explain to those being interviewed how “compassionate” the ‘Rat policy position is (i.e., “push polling”). Then if all that fails, you can fudge the numerical results to your liking..
“Nice spin, but it isn’t going to fly. Even Rats don’t want to vote for this Turkey.”
Remember something about Propaganda.
It doesn’t matter what the TRUTH is, just what the NARRATIVE is.
Obama doesn’t care if the bill actually PASSES or not, the only job he gives a damn about is HIS OWN.
Democrats want the ISSUE of jobs for 2012, they could give a tinker’s damn about actually creating any jobs.
Sounds like more than 60% are not in favor of the phony 2nd Union bailout.
The poll was conducted among 1,000 “adults”. They had a pulse and minimally could distinguish a phone from a bottle.
Less than a third of the people polled supported the law, and that makes it popular? I guess that means that Bush was popular when he left office - didn’t he have a 32 percent approval rating?
Not really. If you were correct, Obummer would be in good shape for reelection. The MSM have been propping him up 24/7. On this bill, you would be right if the Rats held together in the vote. They didn't and now Reid lost the argument about the GOP being obstructionists. It was a bipartisan rejection of the bill that most people don't want.
Take away the editorial page and the WSJ is just another Drive-by organization...
