Frankly, I don't trust these numbers.

As one White House official explained it to me Limbaugh became an issue not because he is the most prominent Obama critic but because the talk show host embodies “hyper-partisanship.”
Limbaugh became a stand-in for White House view of Republicans as a party that is not constructive, not willing to seek common ground and out of touch with a bipartisan thirst for solutions to pressing economic problems. Obama’s aides connect the dots and see a picture of a dark, unappealing political landscape on the right in which Republicans have become so in-grown that not one of them felt free to repudiate Limbaugh for saying he wants the new American president to fail.
Right now, an administration official said, “the American people are not ideological…they are pragmatic. They are interested in beating the recession. Politics will take care of itself.”
White House officials say they don’t have to push too far for the public to get the idea that Limbaugh is the personification of Republican opposition that allows the GOP to be marginalized as the party of “no” and even as the president’s spokesman Robert Gibbs said recently the party of “no new ideas.”
The White House was giddy last week at the sight of a GOP alternative budget that lacked numbers and was little more than an 18-page expression of opposition to any tax hikes for anyone but with few hard numbers about how they would put together a budget.
“We are pleased with where we are…and we are amazed at where the other guys are going,” said the president’s aide. Later he added: “Our numbers are moving up not down and the numbers for Republicans in Congress are bad because they are not acting in good faith, they are not offering constructive opposition.”

Oh, yeah. The Dems are only trying to save the Republicans from themselves. I’m not surprised Juan Williams doesn’t fall for this line of horse product; I’m only surprised that anyone over the age of 12 does.
poor Jaun like most libtards will never understand about being elected ( like pelosi )and being a private citizen when it comes to being partisan
I guess the House GOP is too easy a target.
They are weak and spineless, and I think they like it that way. Nothing easier than being in the minority opposition.

Oh, and those “honest” Democrats who have rid us of “the culture of corruption” are going to do what’s right and “waste a good crisis”?
*barf*
Guess he missed the polls last week showing the GOP leading in generic congressional balloting for the first time in forever?
Frankly, I don't trust these numbers.
“a party that is not constructive, not willing to seek common ground and out of touch with a bipartisan thirst for solutions to pressing economic problems.”
In other words, a party that is against socialism? If you seek common ground with socialists, you merely end up advancing the cause of socialism.
Gee that sounds like the Junior Senator and the Rat House!
Be careful what you wish for.
Nonsense you Democratic asshat! That Republican budget had a federal income tax rate modified to 10% up to $100K and 25% on additional income over $100K. Ohhhhhh... THAT WOULD ALLOW ME TO KEEP ABOUT $5 FRIKIN' GRAND OF MY MONEY PER YEAR!
I hate Democrats! Those are numbers you nitwit Democrats and with the extra $5K/yr of my own frikin' money in the first place, and everyone else keeping more of their money, we'd pull this nation right out of the recession!
I hate Democrats! They lie. They cheat. The have no moral compass. Have I mentioned they lie and cheat?
Every time it rains it rains
Pennies from heaven.
Don’t you know each cloud contains
Pennies from heaven.
You’ll find yor fortune falling
All over town.
Every time a dem opens his mouth a Limbaugh gets his wings.

[Frankly, I don’t trust these numbers. ]
I think the numbers are correct. The scary part is that it says a good majority of people are delusional and in search of unicorns and candyland. There is no way to recover economically spending trillions on government boondoggles while inflating the currency and shutting down energy production.
That's because we agree with Rush on this point. Obama and his thugs should fail. And is Juaan absolutely sure that he hasn't fallen for the WH talking points? Pathetic.
And I hate the MSM who are happy to push the message of Gibbs...
The fascist are proud of the progress made towards the destruction of this country, but they need enemies to distract people from questioning their progress. That brings them around to Rush. His ratings are soaring faster than 0bama’s deficit, and he is the biggest threat our fuhrer has.
“Politics will take care of itself.”.....
THE HELL IT WILL!

What a pile of crap! OBozo and his hard left storm toopers are as fare from bipartisan as you can get!
