the right and their masters


Though Republicans prevented tax increases from being included in the debt-ceiling deal, half of those polled said the agreement should have included increased tax revenue, while 44 percent said it should have relied on cuts alone. That issue is likely to be revisited soon: Congress is preparing to appoint a special committee to recommend ways to reduce the deficit. Sixty-three percent of those polled said that they supported raising taxes on households that earn more than $250,000 a year, as Mr. Obama has sought to do — including majorities of Democrats (80 percent), independents (61 percent) and Republicans (52 percent).

The poll found that Mr. Obama was emerging from the crisis less bruised than the Republicans in Congress.

they don't know it but public opinion is more likely to garner a vote than a big war chest! I think we proved that in nov. their masters were far from pleased with them ! especially the tea party boys! In fact the latest polls are showing the tea party boys have gone from a 40% approval rating to a 20% approval rating! And just wait till the june primaries! they will get slammed!
this fiscal cliff will cost them the house!
