“And the case is so easy to make that the problem is government spending...”
After watching the election and listening to the “average” voter I don’t think polls mean “jack”.
If Boehner was smart he’d simply say no and let Obama and the dems scream and holler. I mean really, who cares, the country thinks he sucks anyway, he has all the power to do the “right thing”, with no backlash.
If the Reps are wrong they will pay for it but so will Obama to a larger extent. If they are right the economy will improve and Obama’s dependency state will weaken.
It’s a win-win IF they do the right thing, and reduce the deficit, and get the fiscal house in order. Next start passing laws to rein in government regulators.
Yep. Even if/when Obama takes the credit for everything "good" and dispenses the blame on Republicans and the "rich" for everything "bad," the same way Clinton did when he didn't even bother to introduce the budget...

Exactly, especially since the "polls" can be so easily manipulated (by asking the "right" questions and then [mis-]interpreting the answers to arrive at the "right" conclusions) as to be meaningless, except for being just a marketing and/or propaganda tool. Just show them your own polls, showing that cutting spending is more popular than raising tax rates. There!
