New CBS News Poll: Americans blame the Republicans for not averting the cuts

It's official kids... Republicans ARE the bad guys.

Poll: Most feel sequester will personally affect them - CBS News

Meaningless. Spitting in the ocean will make the ocean level rise, but does anyone care? The majority has said they don't think the sequester will have any real impact on them.


A majority of Americans said they prefer the sequester to no cuts at all, so being "blamed" for not averting the sequester is a good thing.

It's fun to watch the way liberal turds spin bad news.

On the sequester the Dims lost big time.


Meanless? Did you enjoy the beating in 2012? Because you're going to love 2016!

What beating? The one where Dems lost 4 million voters for the first time in any of our lifetimes?

Or lost a Nebraska senate seat to a Republican (that really hurt).
 
stop pretending you are a Republican, Tea party Try-hards...
give us a break, go join the Democrats

No, YOU stop pretending to be a Republican. You and the rest of the "Tea Party" are the embodiment of what you so affectionately refer to as RINOs. Ya know, that period when you arent stuffing your faces with chips and cheap beer. You are killing the party and you dont even know it. let me show you..Rasmussen reported Monday that the Tea Party’s popularity has plummeted and the organization is now, in fact, less popular than ever. According to the poll, only 30% of likely voters view the group favorably and nearly half categorized their opinion of them as unfavorable. Yes, That Rassmussen Poll, the last real conservative haven for polling. What were those numbers like in 09 before people knew who you really were?
You are killing the GOP and the country with a smile on your face. We have no time for the uneducated in todays politics, either learn soething on Foreign policy, economics or modern accepted social policies or go back to your NASCAR race. Either way I dont give a damn what you think you are entiteled to. (Sorry I had to do it for all you JAck fans out there)

Your ignorance is great, Grasshopper. You should definitely ponder the question of whether or not you know what is good for the Republican party. Unless the Republican party has something to offer the American people that is different from what the Democrats offer the American people, it doesn't matter whether we win or not. Power, for the sake of power, is not the goal. That is a left wing concept.

As a conservative, I am a Republican because it is the lesser of two evils. The tea party is a conservative subset of the Republican party, and is not to blame for the state the party finds itself in. They advocate for limited government, and fiscal responsibility, and they stand firm on those principles. Anyone who wishes to assign them blame for the current impass is either an ignorant ass, or a partisan Democrat.

Compromise is not a one way street. It means that both sides of the impass must be willing to concede something to reach an agreement. One side, the Democrats, cannot make unreasonable demands and then expect the Republicans to meet them halfway between unreasonable and reasonable.

excellent my dear, well said

And don't forget 2014...
Hello again, Speaker Pelosi.
Economists see a .5% to 1% reduction in GDP due to the sequester. Job losses could go as high as 750,000. It's not likely voters are going to support the party that wants much deeper cuts.

The Republicans are really between a rock and a hard place. If they abandon their push for much deeper cuts, they'll lose the Tea Party. If they continue, they'll lose the rest of the voters. The people in this country aren't ready for another recession to support Tea Party ideology.

How n Earth can a 1.4% reduction in the rate of growth of spending cost jobs?

You guys are colossally dumb, you really are.

I suggest you take a course in economics. The government is a big part of the economy. When you cut 85 billion in government spending, you cut government jobs, you cut government contracts that results in the lose of more jobs, you cut funds flowing to the states which results in even more job loses. This of course creates a ripple effect throughout the economy.

While reduction in government spending may be viewed positively over the long term; over the short term, businesses will not view this as positive, particular those businesses that lose revenue due to the government cut backs.
 
The DJIA has hit a new record high since the sequester kicked in.

Thank you Republicans. :clap2:
That's because of strong corporate earnings and a rebounding housing sector, plus most Wall Streeters are confident that the government will reach a compromise just as was done with the fiscal cliff. The market rise is due to an outlook for an expanding economy, not a reduction in the size of the government.

You're forgetting the part where the government gets the money. For the government to spend $85 billion, it must take the same amount out of the economy. For every every government job it creates, it destroys one or more in the private sector. The later was producing goods and services that people actually want. The former is just another useless tick on the ass of society. Government spending does not create jobs. It simply replaces productive people with useless ticks.

While reduction in government spending may be viewed positively over the long term; over the short term, businesses will not view this as positive, particular those businesses that lose revenue due to the government cut backs.

Short term thinking is the way we got into this fix in the first place.

That is total bullshit!

I'm curious, Flopper...are you making the contention that cutting the growth of the Federal Government by 2% is going to be so harmful to the economy that it isn't doable? That we have no choice but to keep spending more and more money that we don't have? Quite frankly, I find that notion to be amusing. You do realize that this is a "rob Peter to pay Paul" scenario? When the government spends less that means the private sector has the means to spend more. What progressives like yourself are saying is that we can't afford to not tax Americans more so that the government can keep on spending more. What conservatives like myself are saying is that if the government lets us keep that money then WE can spend it ourselves which will boost the economy.

So make the argument that some businesses will suffer due to government cut backs? That's true...but the flip side of that argument is that many other businesses suffer when the public has less disposable income. THEY would view tax increases in a negative manner.
 
So the sequester has kicked in. And nothing has happened. Teachers were not laid off. Police were not laid off. Social Security checks go out. The Dow hits new highs. What if they gave a sequester and no one noticed? People are going to blame the GOP for nothing happening? No, I dont think so. The GOP won the House in 2012. They will do so again in 2014. Good bye, "Speaker Pelosi".
It's only Wednesday, dumbass.

Napolitano has already told horror stories of increased wait times at airports.

It would be perfectly responsible for the FAA to cut back on flights because of understaffed air traffic controllers.

Safety first.

When the tea party advocated default on the debt, they ceased to be any part of compromise.

The Tea Party never advocated that, you dishonest little tramp.

heres a tip for you.

The founders sis not design a system in which the minority of the minority get to make the laws for everyone.


Does Democracy mean anything to you?

Your ignorance is showing again, TM...

What the Founding Fathers designed was a system in which the rights of the minority were protected.
They did so by making it difficult, even for a majority, to change the Constitution. That isn't a bad thing...that's a good thing.

Not at the expense of the will of the majority, they didn't.

They wanted the minority to be protected against being run roughshod. Against being run out of existence.

It wasn't designed so that a spiteful minority could hold up a nomination for some meaningless position, or play politics with national security.
