Of course, this obviously means the GOP will cave.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 51% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Obama's job performance. Forty-seven percent (47%) disapprove (see trends (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/obama_approval_index_history)).


The latest figures include 30% who Strongly Approve of the way Obama is performing as president and 37% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -7.


As the government shutdown continues and the debt ceiling debate escalates, the president’s job approval ratings are again on the rise to levels not seen consistently since last spring.

It's so infuriating when you think about what it means for a president's approval rating to fluctuate so much. Damn morons who make up their mind based on what the media just told them. They already forgot about what happened last week. How the hell do you change your mind about OVERALL performance based solely on what is happening today?

These are the ones who are usually undecided a day before the polls open. And I'm sure many of them will tell you that they hate the fact that so much money is spent on campaign ads. If they weren't idiots, campaign ads wouldn't be effective. People who know where they stand and do their homework don't need campaign ads to convince them.

Yet the republucan controlled house had passed a CR that does not defund Obamacare. The democrat controlled senate refuses it though as it levels the Obamacare playing field by eliminating the subsidies, and eliminating the mandate for individuals same as Obama did for big business.

The media lies.

You have never posted a single thing that supports anything we are doing. You should not be allowed to post here - you are only here to disrupt cohesion.

You call us racists when we don't agree with you. You post lies in the middle of your Democrat talking points. There is no way I would ever suggest anybody visit these forums, much less donate, when this crap is allowed to continue.

I quit donating when Matt was allowed to destroy the grassroots. Just when I was considering donating again, I see this happening? Glad I waited.

Bryan wants to let you stay here - nothing I can do about that. But if your goal is to cost him support and financial support - mission accomplished.

Bush had higher approval rating than Obama at this point in his presidency.


At the same point in the first year of his second term, Bush held a higher approval rating even as he battled criticisms of his handling of weeks-old Hurricane Katrina.

Most Americans disapprove of the way Obama is handling his job, the poll suggests, with 53 percent unhappy with his performance and 37 percent approving of it. Congress is scraping rock bottom, with a ghastly approval rating of 5 percent.

Speaking about Obamacare, I've been opposed to the shutdown/defunding tactic from the very beginning. I believe it's a self-defeating tactic, damaging to the cause of Liberty. Most people on this forum seem to be clueless about the politics surrounding this issue. So, I'm trying to educate folks to the best of my ability.

Ron Paul, former Republican presidential candidate, says both parties are "grandstanding"; it's a "political blame game."

"Well, i think it's pretty irrelevant, because i think both parties are doing the same thing. they're grandstanding. they're politicizing this. they talk about a shutdown, which really isn't a shutdown. the big stuff continues, and they close down the monuments. and i think it's all a political game and it's a blame game. you know, even with the deficit -- the deficit limit was met in may. so government goes on. i think that the shutdown is not a real problem. i think the real worry should be the breakdown of the entire system. and as far as default goes, we're always going to pay the interest. and that's just -- that's just a fake argument. i'm concerned about the continuation of the default by paying off our bills with money that has less value. that's where the real problem is, and they're not even talking about it.": http://www.dailypaul.com/302005/ron-paul-just-smacked-the-crap-out-of-tres-sec-jack-lews-testimony-on-cnbc-epic

Yes, when we want to be Democrats we will take political advice from liberals. All you have to do is look at Head Start to see what happens if we allow Obamacare to implement itself. The program does not work by any measure - thats according to the government's own studies - and yet today we have both Dems and Republicans clamoring to get funding reinstated ASAP.

I don't argue that this shutdown is some brilliant strategy planned last year by savvy leaders. It was anything but that. But it is better than the alternative, which was.....nothing.
