[PDS RINO] Nicole Wallace Warns Republicans to Stop Railing Against The Obama Administration
PoliticusUSA - Real Liberal Politics ^ | October 31, 2013 | Sarah Jones

Posted on 10/31/2013 8:22:49 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

In an appearance on MCNBC’s Morning Joe, Nicole Wallace (former George W. Bush adviser and McCain/Palin campaign adviser) ruined all of the gang’s orgasmic revelry of false equivalency over Obama’s bad numbers in the latest NBC/WSJ poll by pointing out that Republicans have even worse numbers, and there seems to be no bottom for the party.

Wallace then warned Republicans to stop being about nothing but criticism, “So I think the peril in looking at these numbers for President Obama is to continue down the path of railing against his administration’s policies.”

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

The Republican Party’s approval ratings are at an all time low according to a new NBC News/WSJ poll that shows just 22% have positive feelings for the GOP while 53% see it negatively, but the President is also at an all time low according to this poll, with 45% having negative feelings about Obama and just 41% viewing him a favorable light. These two things are clearly not the same, since 41 is much bigger than 22.

After Mike and Joe expressed scornful disdain for President Obama’s falling poll numbers, Joe Scarborough said, “I don’t see things getting better for either side after the shutdown. Republicans think they’re getting a boost from the President’s problems can see it’s just not enough to be against their guy, Republicans have to come up with their own ideas.”

Nicole Wallace (another reality based Republican strategist trying desperately to awaken the party before it’s too late) responded, “That’s right and if you look at these numbers we keep talking about arriving at some sort of floor for Republicans, and what’s so stunning is the bottom keeps getting lower and lower.”

She continued, “What Republicans have to take…. – we have to draw a line in the sand and decide that every time we’re in front of a camera it’s an opportunity to talk about what we’re for. So I think the peril in looking at these numbers for President Obama is to continue down the path of railing against his administration’s policies.”

Shortly thereafter, Sen. John Thune (R-SD) joined the show to express glee that the media is obsessed with the bad ObamaCare rollout, so no one is asking Republicans why they shutdown the government. This is like being excited that he cheated on his LSAT and got into a good school. Republicans are still going to have to perform at some point — they can’t cheat their way through everything.

And that is precisely Nicole Wallace’s point. Yes, Obama is taking a hit right now (due in no small party to media malfeasance regarding the ACA exchanges), but he is also not running for office again. And he is nowhere near 22% approval ratings. If the media gets this concerned over 41% approval ratings for the President, one wonders why they are equating this equally with a stunningly low 22% approval for the GOP.

If the public blames both parties for the shutdown, that is also the fault of less than accurate reporting. Republicans can take glee in the public being fooled again, but they are only fooling themselves if they take complete refuge in having dirtied the President on their way down.

Immigration reform is coming, and Republicans can’t handle it. It is poised to expose them once again as the do-nothing, extremist, nihilistic, radical obstructionists that they are.

Completly the wrong read on why their numbers suck.

Obama's numbers are worse, and when you add in the fact that the media cheats on his behalf, the Republicans look fine.

Nice sarcasm. The GOP is weak, but at least thy didn’t vote for the ACA. Not sure what else thy can do at this point. Ted Cruz and Lee made their stand. Now, we’ll see wat the people think about this health care law. It’s up to the voters now. They will render thei judgment soon enough.

Wallace is not a RINO. She is a Democrat mole. Bob

The GOP did not vote for the UCA initially, but they have voted to fund it numerous times. Bob

Here’s an idea, exempt everyone from Obamacare who wants to be exempted from it. This mantra about how Republicans need to come up with their own ideas about how to do something better than Obamacare is idiotic, and Republicans shouldn’t play into it. What these Obamaphiles are saying is that any idea, even an absolutely horrible one like Obamacare, one that makes things worse than what they were, beats no idea at all. No it doesn’t. Thank God Republicans didn’t push this crazy crap onto Americans. Democrats created this terrible mess. Ted Cruz tried to warn them not to do it now, and they did it anyhow. Let them fix it, except the can’t.

> Nicole Wallace is a duplicitous, blithering IDIOT!

She is also the troll responsible for setting up Sarah Palin with Katie Couric.

If she can’t figure out why both the Republicans AND recently the Democrats are angry and concerned about Obamacare she’s completely clueless

Nicole Wallace is worse than clueless. She’s NOTHING. She only thinks she matters.

With the GOP leadership caving at every opportunity to Obamacare while making tough and emotional speeches against it, its no wonder the Republicans are so unpopular.

Grassroots conservatives like you and me give the GOP thumbs down and they end up with 22 percent popularity.

If the GOP continues to push Illegal Alien Amnesty instead of eliminating ObamaCare...they can kiss their party goodbye

Has anyone else noticed the recent trend of political consultants, particularly democrat ones, to begin their answers to questions with “So”? I think I detect some new classroom instruction for politicos who appear on the talk shows. It has a erie effect of dismissing the question and launching into a totally evasive answer.

Wow, these people have absolutely no idea what the hell is really going on. First, anyone who starts with the premise that Republicans shut down the government is delusional to begin with. Harry Reid held the government hostage to save Obamacare, so, “Garbage in, garbage out.” Second, Republican approval numbers are at an all time low because THEY BETRAYED THEIR BASE. The only people who approve of the R’s right now are the RINO’s.

O.K., just look the other way while this half American Negro continues to break Constitutional law? Break his oath of office time and time again? Praise Islam while denigrating Christianity? Lying about his Socialized Medicine to Americans and spending an unaccounted amount of tax dollars on this abomination. It is said Obama threatens the jobs of those who disagree with him....it is thought Valerie Jarrett is de facto POTUS...Obama is an ( empty suit)....you fight against those who hurt your country Ms. Wallace!!
