A new Daily Kos/SEIU poll released today (http://www.nationalmemo.com/?author_name=henrydecker)found that nearly half of voters believe that Republicans are intentionally stalling efforts to jump start the economy to ensure that President Barack Obama is not re-elected. 49 percent of respondents to the poll say that Republicans are intentionally stalling the economy, compared to 40 percent who say they are not. 11 percent replied “not sure.”
Among independents, 50 percent said that Republicans are stalling the recovery compared to 40 percent who said they are not, and 61 percent of self-described moderates said they are compared to just 40 percent who said they are not.
Recently, news analysts from major networks (not Fox) have began to question whether Republicans really are deliberately tanking the economy to defeat Obama. The behavior of Republicans in Congress is beginning to give credibility to that charge. The poll shows that a very large number of Americans including half of Independent voters agree.

Nearly 50 Percent Say Republicans Intentionally Sabotaging Economy: Poll

Did Republicans deliberately crash the US economy? The GuardianDid Republicans deliberately crash the US economy?
Be it ideology or stratagem, the GOP has blocked pro-growth
policy and backed job-killing austerity – all while blaming Obama
Why has job creation in America slowed to a crawl? Why, after several months of economic hope, are things suddenly turning sour? The culprits might seem obvious – uncertainty in Europe, an uneven economic recovery, fiscal and monetary policymakers immobilized and incapable of acting. But increasingly, Democrats are making the argument that the real culprit for the country's economic woes lies in a more discrete location: with the Republican Party.
In recent days, Democrats have started coming out and saying publicly what many have been mumbling privately for years – Republicans are so intent on defeating President Obama for re-election that they are purposely sabotaging the country's economic recovery. These charges are now being levied by Democrats such as Senate majority leader Harry Reid and Obama's key political adviser, David Axelrod.
For Democrats, perhaps the most obvious piece of evidence of GOP premeditated malice is the 2010 quote from Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell:
"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."

If President Obama did something like this, the TeaBaggers would be crying Treason

Don't Blame Republicans :rollseyes:.....it was Obamas Own party that Shot down his Budgets. Both in the House and the Senate. Not one Democrat voted for his budget. Zero.....Nada.....Not One! Now why do you think that was? As it clearly didnt have anything to do with the GOP.

The president’s budget called for ending tax cuts for the wealthy and a three-year domestic spending freeze, saving an estimated $1.1 trillion over 10 years. Democratic senators at the time called it “an important step forward”, “a good start” and a “credible blueprint.”
No Democratic senator was willing to support it, however, after Obama discussed a more ambitious plan at George Washington University to save $4 trillion over 12 years. Republicans criticized his speech for lacking detail.

Defeated in the House First 414-0. Opposition Led by Steney Hoyer Blue Dog Democrat. Not even Pelosi Voted For it. Moreover after the Demo Senators called it a good start they didn't vote against Obama's Bill due to Republican Opposition. So it has nothing to do with the Repubs criticizing Obama's Speech. This was all strictly in-house with the DNC as to their reasons why they chose not to Support their President.

Daily Kos/SEIU poll. Since Barack's mother and grandmother aren't around to conduct a poll for him, I guess that's the next best thing.
ROFLMAO
Quick tip for Cigar: Democrats are in charge of both the WH and the Senate. It's nice of you to give Republicans so much power, but in reality, Dims are still in 'power.' Save your tears for next year.

Care to look up the term "Filibuster" and study it's history and use, or are you content to pretend that it's not in pay.

But that don't stop Democrats from Voting against their own President. Something else has to be the answer since there is no fault by the GOP for a Democratic Vote.

Since "you" brought it up, how about you give the class a comparison on the Number of times The GOP Filibustered or simply said NO, to the Number of times Democrats wanted to hold out for something better (better meaning BIGGER from the President)
Let's see what you come up with ... sport. :)

Many Republicans in DC were elected in Nov 2010 to stop Obama's madness. Amazing it should surprise you they've voted against nearly everything he wants to do when it's exactly what they were elected to do.
Just wait until Nov 2012. Even if Obama is successful in buying re-election, his hands will be tied for the next 4 years.
That's a fact, jack. ;)

How does a Republican filibuster change the Democratic Vote? The truth is.....it simply can't. If anything it allows Demos to try and get moderate Republicans to swtich their vote. Hence the work of Neo-Cons and Neo-libs.

You do realize there's no Voting during a filibuster ... it's the point ... the GOP won't what anything to come to a Vote.
You may want to inform your parrots ...

Well when it came to the Prez's Budget bills. The GOP didnt need to filibuster. As again it was the President's own party that shot him down. Which was due to spending. Not even the Demos wanted to take that back home to campaign upon.
Althought truthfully.....all we needed to do is give the Demos a cracker, erm I mean those Parrots, and they would have repeated that No Vote!

Speaking of not being able to have it both ways... when Bush was in office, the Dems were a majority in congress. Do you ever blame anything that happened during Bush's term on Congress?
Of course you don't... it was all GW's fault.

I do pay attention to Rasmussen's polling. He has the best track record of anyone mainly because his organization does a really good job of polling people who actually vote. And for sure, even that frothing Hannity is more credible than the Daily Kos and SEIU. Really. LOL
