No ‘Fiscal Cliff’ Deal? 44% Blame GOP, 36% Obama
Rasmussen ^

Posted on 12/27/2012 10:51:28 AM PST by chessplayer

Most voters still want President Obama and Congress to avoid the “fiscal cliff” of big tax hikes and automatic across-the-board spending cuts scheduled to kick in next Tuesday, but fewer than ever think a deal is likely. Voters tend to blame congressional Republicans more than the president for the impasse.

It is time the GOP thought of the country and not who will get the credit or blame..It looks like they have begun to do that. Let God deal with those who are evil.

This is one reason why obama and reid don't want a deal. If they go over the cliff, it's good for them and bad for the GOP.

Until the GOP gets reconstituted with men who have something other than empty bags hanging between their legs, it will not get better for them or us.

If the Repubs would simply pick a position and STAND on it, they’d gain a better measure of respect. Right now, they don’t command anything beyond a smirk and a snicker, since they can’t be trusted to hold the line on... anything.

Corrupt leaders in every era know that most people prefer to be ignorant and lazy and will seek that if they can find a way to reap the benefit of someone else’s sweat and tears..In every society a rare few are born with exceptional intelligence and another rare few occupy the other end of the continuum..Most people are very average, give or take a little. Don’t go looking in academia for the bright ones...Most are not there. In fact, I am betting that the geniuses among us probably have not been discovered due to political correctness. America is committing suicide and those in power now will not be remembered when all of this shakes out. I do firmly believe that something like concentration camps are being planned and every time I hear old Harry Reid accuse someone else of what he dreams of, I cringe and pray harder for my nation.

The big news media has most Americans under complete mind control.

this illustrates that the democrats will put “party” before the benefit of the country.

So the GOP is *too* compromising, yet fewer blame Obama for NOT compromising?!?

I want a deal that cuts the most spending and raises the least in taxes. That’s the best approach. Is there hope for that? Obama wants the opposite.

Are the American people standing upside down?

People with incomes from government and government-connected businesses tend to be vociferous about keeping the flow of debt going.

The liberal media is still successful in doing its job...for Obama.
