Notice the lack of an “I blame the Democrat controlled Senate” option? The Democrats aren’t named at all!
My husband tells me he tried to call Reid’s office a little while ago and the recorded message says the Senator’s phone and email are closed due to the government shutdown! What a coward. If Reid is so sure only the Republicans will be blamed, why not answer the phone?
Strange way to poll? Each answer has no counterbalance to measure it to.
Yes, well you know, that’s the problem with you mean republicans!
Yes I noticed that. How nice of them to leave Harry Reid out of the mix huh?
Who do you blame for the shutdown?

Yeah, where is the option for Democrats??
Obama could've avoided the mess of bringing the program out before it was ready, while certain groups got exceptions. The dems not delaying the individual mandate just might be what has voters thinking clearly. That and knowing that increasing a tax on US manufacturing is just plain dumb.
Freeped and bumped.
What a piece of crap. Where’s Harry Reid’s name?????
Blame them all. Ifthere was no Social Security, medicare, medicaid, food stamps, ‘gubmint’ healthcare, EPA, USPS, the fed, IRS, Dept. of Education, or anything else that did not directly support the defense of the nation, the government would be smaller indeed. Smaller government would mean a realistic level of taxation.
Just get ‘government’ (including state and local) out of the day to day conduct of American life and voila...
Term limits, having to pass laws one at a time instead of bundling, and moving senate seat selections back to the state legislature (pre-1914) would go a long way toward rehabilitating congress also.
KYPD
good blame me too then for shutting down the government .shutting down this communist government is a good thing. good going Republicans. all that essential federal government services is Military , border control and that is it . shut everything else down permanently
I blame Laz too
Not encouraging. If House REPUBS are getting the same blame, then we are screwed. The President & DEMS & MSM are to blame, thew own Obamacare, they own this shutdown... how we doing on Benghazi? Syria cleaning up their chemical weapons? Companies hiring?
What if I don’t “blame” anyone because I WANT the government to shutdown?
There is no way you’re going to tilt a poll of MSNBC viewer. Don’t waste your time.
Besides, the question is kind of like saying “who do you blame for it being a nice sunny day outside?” I’m grateful for the shutdown, I don’t fear it nor shun it.
