So when GOP Inc say election was a mandate for GOP-Inc policies, again, they're pushing another Big Lie ...which about every GOP mouthpiece in M$M is repeating faithfully.

1. 13% other? I call triple-bullshit on this poll. Nt.

[JohnWxy]

2. I think this indicates the level of confusion over the causes. OF course 23% blaming Obama is the

strongest indicator of confusion on the part of the public. THese were GOP suckers who would blame Obama for bad weather too.

3. If the pig repugs -- had their 10% -- that wouldn't be a garbage truck

that you hear tumbling down the street. It would be a tank.


Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit.

4. another thing missing, apparently there is no possibiity that the Republicans in Congress should be

held accountable. Obama and the Dems are free to do just what they want in Washington. Like they Didn't down-size the stimulus by a third to provide tax cuts to buy Republican cooperation (i.e. to not filibuster and kill or delay the ARRA - the dems did not have 60 senators in Jan 2009).

5. Thankfully, it looks like the American people have a good grasp of who is to blame.

Obama was NOT responsible in any way for the economic mess. Ever since he became president, the economy has been improving substantially. And hopefully, he'll continue this into 2012 so we can have him instead of someone from the Teaklan.

6. that's about the right apportionment of blame, too

Scary how that works.

7. Where is the discussion of climate change and the environment

????????????????

[Enthusiast]

8. Climate change is a hoax.

Or so say the protectors of the fossil fuel industry. Significant climate legislation has been undermined by right wing corporate misinformation machine for the foreseeable future. So we no longer even ask such questions.
