It’s not even close for a shutdown. Now if Boner could wake up and see the mood of the people.
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them.

This is the second Fox poll today that has been over run with liberals.
The Republicans need to hammer home the truth that the Demorats ran away from passing a budget last year because they didn’t want to deal with the consequences.
This budget needed to be passed by Oct 1st. Instead they ignored their duty as our representatives, scared that they would hurt their chances with their Democrat electorate should they pass a budget.

Exactly!
Yes, but this poll is like singing to the Choir.
The way I read it, it was 87% for compromise.
However, after reading it again, I see I made a mistake, not the first one I’ve ever made:)Thanks for setting me straight.
Every day that the Senate fails to vote on a House passed Budget bill (any year), the house should add another CUT, pass it and send it to the Senate!
A compromise will be meaningless in the long run. It will just delay the crash by a few days.
