"SNIP...............................

With the government shutdown and debt ceiling fight ongoing, just 24% of Americans have a positive view of the Republican Party, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC poll.

That's the lowest level in 24 years of WSJ/NBC polling. It's also down 8 points from June. 53% view the Republican Party negatively.

That compares with 39% who view the Democratic Party positively, which is the same level as June. 40% view the Democratic Party negatively.

5. I have faith in the GOP.

They really can go lower than that, just watch.

6. The tea party end timers will see this as an indicator they are doing things correctly.

8. Most are in heavily gerrymandered deep red districts

and they know it. They're not concerned & pretty much don't need to be until the next census.

9. "...a catastrophe for Rethugs." Then that must mean good for America?

And good for Americans, all Americans!

Maybe with their obstructionist defeatist obstructionism defeatism bad attitudes out of the way, maybe congress can finally get something positive done to help move our economy and people forward.

How long before the mid-term elections? Come on. Come on!
