Poll suggests Americans starting to blame GOP for gridlock
Source: Raw Story

A new AP-GfK poll contains some bad news for the Republican Party. Americans may be thoroughly disgusted with Congress -- whose approval is down to an all-time low of 12% -- but they increasingly blame the Republicans more than the Democrats for the legislative body's failures.

According to Justin Sink at The Hill, "While 68 percent disapprove of congressional Democrats, 75 percent disapprove of congressional Republicans. And 50 percent of the country strongly disapproves of Republicans in Congress, up from just 39 percent in June."

This is the Strategy of these Repukes all along..
Throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks constantly and 365 a year..
Fact too is these Buttheads have never ever proposed any bill to help anything except their Constituents to date..

1. Good! I'm glad. However, I wish they would also get that the difference

between rich and poor has become a bigger issue for them than the difference between Democrat and Republican.

3. Good. So, now, when we're campaigning for Democratic
Legislators, we should use this to our advantage. If we do it right, we can retake Congress and some of our state legislatures. Here in Minnesota people put much of the blame for the recent government shutdown on the Republicans, too. It's a strong issue we can take to the voters, and we should take it to them in a serious way.

4. Their constituents??? You must mean their handlers!
Their corporate and military/industrial handlers are the only ones they serve. They live for power and freebies. The last thing they think about is the populus.

7. Not really good news as the Teabaggers were never anything but a rebranding effort
Them being history indicates nothing other than they have fulfilled their purpose.
