Will voters buy the idea that GOP is sabotaging economy?

The poll, which surveyed Florida voters, was conducted by Suffolk University. I tracked down the poll’s internals, and here’s the relevant question:

Do you think the Republicans are intentionally stalling efforts to jumpstart the economy to insure that Barack Obama is not reelected?

Yes 49

No 39

Undecided 12

This is only one state, but as Steve notes, “it’s a large, diverse swing state that both parties take very seriously.” And nearly half of these voters say they believe this — even though the question is asked in a very provocative way.

2. When college students score so low on critical thinking skills, gotta wonder

if we'll ever get rid of the GOP

Let's hope it gets through this time. The message has to be hammered, but it also needs to be packaged in a way that connects.

3. When I think about letting people suffer and die for political shit

I think about revolution.

Are they really so out of it that they think this will work? Does the 9% Congress approval rating tell them nothing? Does the Occupy movement tell them nothing? Do they think that the people who shut down the Oakland port are going to go home and vote for fucking Republicans, fucking killers and traitors to humanity and the planet?

4. "buy the idea" ??? What a poor choice of words. It isn't for sale and it's a fact, not an idea.

5. if the message keeps getting told people will start to believe it. that's how soap sells nt
