1. It's good to see the American electorate finally waking up from their decades-long slumber.

Let us hope this will continue through the 2014 elections, or there'll be more Teapublican obstructionism that's currently destroying our country.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. Now if the Republicans in Congress would wake up it'd be even better.

But they're drinking their hallucinogenic tea.

[BlueCaliDem]

10. They'll only wake up from their stupor when Wall Street comes calling.

Republicans don't listen to anyone else, but Wall Street is currently knocking on their door. It's only a matter of time before Wall Street begins banging on it and scare the living daylights out of the Republican leadership.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. not even then. Only when they are packing moving boxes and

returning home from their Little Washington Adventure.

27. T-baggers

its too bad that the t-baggers don't listen to wall street,

[BlueCaliDem]

31. True. But their moneyed masters, the Koch Bros, do.

And to them they'll listen.

37. Do you have link to the actual WSJ/NBC poll?

Just curious...The link here takes you to the Maddowblog and there is no link their to the original WSJ/NBC poll?

Thanks.

[BlueCaliDem]

38. There was a link at the Maddowblog. The word "poll" was hyperlinked.

It would take you to another MSNBC page (under First Read) and there is a link to the PDF WSJ/NBC poll.

Here is the link to that PDF: https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmsnbcmedia.msn.com%2Fi%2FMSNBC%2FSections%2FA_Politics%2F_Today_Stories_Teases%2FOct_poll.pdf

2. Yes, Senator, it's a very good thing !

Just keep doing what you're doing, and things will work out great in the end !

[MADem]

3. We know that NBC has a corporate bent, and WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch...

...which makes these results doubly jaw-dropping!!!!

[rhett o rick]

4. The Democrats must keep the pressure on. I recommend dropping the

Medicare eligibility age.

[Initech]

5. Wake up people!!! The republicans are bad for America!

[nyquil_man]

6. I don't think they poll-tested. nt

[Omnibus]

33. No, they poll-tested.

They used the same pollsters that showed Mitt Romney winning handily.

[freshwest]

7. If polls were elections, we'd be free of these maniacs right now. The suffering continues.

[Cosmocat]

11. Right

PLENTY of time for this to pass and media to find a way to drag the president and democrats down a few pegs to much up 2014 ...

[Uncle Joe]

9. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, EarlG.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

13. Imagine the numbers if there wasn't 24/7 hate radio and FOX "News".

[AnotherMcIntosh]

15. And imagine the numbers if openly admitted war criminals had not been given immunity and Republicans

had not been appointed to high-level positions.

We could have put the Republican Party out of business.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

19. Too bad Dems want to make nice with killers.

[KansDem]

14. "Jaw Dropping"

Time to drop some Republicans!

[Hubert Flottz]

18. Not even the most devout sewer carp, would...

eat a piece of toxic crap, like Mitch McConnell or Speaker Bhunger.

[Bill USA]

23. I'LL SECOND THAT!!!

F- Does not get along well with others, EVER.
F- Is a playground bully/crybaby.
F- Lies cheats and steals from his own kind.
F- Smells bad in the summertime and the wintertime.
F- What the teacher can't figure out. Is that 24 the GOP's approval, or their IQ.

Please get your tired ass to PTA, ASAP, to discuss your congress critter's constant silly partisan Bullshit.

[Bill USA]

22. I guess people see the shutdown & default threat as the GOP's version of burning down the Reichstag

recommended!

[Enthusiast]

24. Just imagine how skewed the polls would be

if the media treated this issue fairly.

[IkeRepublican]

25. Heard Lush on the way home and...

...of course, the media manufactured the poll and cites Nate Silver claims "the GOP has far greater support than Obama." Made Dick Morris' great Carnac The Magnificent election prediction last year seem like a fart in a wind tunnel.

You may wonder why I'd listen to that gasbag in the first place. Well, know thy enemy.

26. Here's another one.. New National Survey: Shutdown Severely Damaging GOP

"A just-completed national survey from Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research confirms that the voting public is fed up with just about everyone in Washington, but Republicans are clearly bearing much more of their anger and it damaging their prospects for 2014.

By a 16-point margin, 43 to 27 percent, voters blame the Republican in Congress, rather than President Obama and the Democrats, for the government shutdown."

http://gqrr.com/articles/2013/10/11/new-national-survey-shutdown-severely-damaging-gop/

It should be more.. but what the hay.. this is pockets of brainwashed America we're talkin' about.

Mahalo EarlG!

[MiniMe]

28. Interesting, I heard a small part of Limbaugh today and that is not what he said the poll showed

Apparently, he thinks that 50 something percent blame Obama and the Dems. He kept saying that the MSM was ignoring the number he came up with. They are probably ignoring it because it isn't true.
