I have a winner for todays bs - if you are going to quote it quote it all and then the transcript from Rush Numbnuts - that starts by him referencing the Pew Research Poll in which he states that 81% of Americans are dissatisfied - this was posted to prove that all the quotes about Rushs tirade 10/17 are not using entire context - first of all the Pew Research Poll was from February of this year and it was the first partnership with USA Today - below is only a portion - WASHINGTON — President Obama starts his second term with a clear upper hand over GOP leaders on issues from guns to immigration that are likely to dominate the year, a USA TODAY/Pew Research Center Poll finds. On the legislation rated most urgent — cutting the budget deficit — even a majority of Republican voters endorse Obamas approach of seeking tax hikes as well as spending cuts. The survey underscores the quandary for the GOP as it debates the partys message in the wake of disappointing losses last November for the White House and in the Senate. Now just 22% of Americans, nearly a record low, consider themselves Republicans.

If no deal is reached to avert them, half of Americans say congressional Republicans will be more to blame. Less than a third would blame Obama first. On many of the issues, President Obama has staked out positions that seem to be closer to the publics thinking than the positions Republicans have staked out, says Michael Dimock, director of the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. The poll is the first in a new partnership between Pew and USA TODAY. The challenge for him is in building the publics sense of immediacy on some of these issues, particularly on climate change and guns. Please feel free to read the entire poll as I am merely pointing out the real date and that the Director of the Foundation states clearly that the issues Obama has stacked out seems to be closer to the publics thinking than the issues the Republicans have. Damn right - Rush should have quoted the entire poll but of wait - that would not have supported his rhetoric! Rolling Laughing!!!!
