Topic: Obamakov is announcing a preemptive veto of "Cut, Cap & Balance"

[Libertas]

Good.  Then America will cut him, cap his co-conspirators and balance the damn budget ourselves!

Barry is such a dick, but he's making the case against himself and his fellow proglodytes a lot easier!

 I hope he doesn't send the checks out and pisses off all the quishes.

OK. yesterday a poll was released stating that most americans disaprove of how the repubs are handling the debt crisis. Here is the leading question they used:

There is only one question asked: "Do you approve or disapprove of the way Republicans [Democrats] in Congress [or Obama] are handling the current negotiations on the debt ceiling?"

The question should be:

Do you approve the congress raising the debt ceiling, continue spending and raising taxes on the rich?

or

Do you approve the congress not raising the debt ceiling, reduce spending, no tax increases, and passing a balanced budget amendment?

Gee, I wonder how that poll would turn out? Any takers?

Does Mr. Constitutional Scholar not know he cannot veto a Constitutional Amendment?

Is that the CBS poll? It oversampled democrats by +11%.

I know the sample was biased in favor of the demos, but my main point was the leading question.

Yep, "leading" question, indeed.  (I posted this on another thread as well.)

The poll is of 810 adults, not registered or likely voters. The sample is 25% Republican; 35% Democrats and 41% Independent (for comparison the vote in the 2010 Congressional elections were: 35% Democrat; 35% Republican and 29% Independent)

There is only one question asked: "Do you approve or disapprove of the way Republicans [Democrats] in Congress [or Obama] are handling the current negotiations on the debt ceiling?" There are no follow up questions regarding various proposals for spending cuts or tax increases.

Not surprisingly, therefore, 51% of the Republicans in the sample say they disapprove of the Republicans in Congress, as many Republicans are uncertain if their members of Congress will cave in as they have in the past and they are given no alternative yes or no question.

No, why should Article 5 be any different from the rest of the Constitution where Obamakov is concerned?  It's an inconvenient and outdated document to Duh Wun.

 

 

But excellent point.  Since Congress can determine the method of ratification, I suggest they go the state route, conservatives have to have the upper hand there.

 

If the Senate ever changed hands in a dramatic way perhaps the Congressional route could be used...but dangit, time is running dangerously short!

Did those BS'ers at CBS bother to ask why people were angry at the GOP for their role in this so called crisis. I would be willing to bet it's soley because their spineless jellyfish and people are adamant about holding the dang line on spending meaning no backroom deals from the go along to get along Senate.

I've been polled once. They don't care. They're looking for a yes or no answer to a complicated question.

A simple "fvck you" as a response is pretty concise too, eh?  Something the push-poller's need to hear a hell of a lot more often!
