Like I’ve said, the Democrats are known for shooting themselves in the foot. But luckily the GOP just shot themselves in the head….
From TalkingPointsMemo.com:
It doesn’t take much political savvy to note that Rep. Paul Ryan’s (R-WI) Medicare-destroying budget plan hasn’t panned out all that well for the GOP. But a new poll out from advocates for the Democratic health care law shows that the Ryan budget fail goes even deeper than embarrassed presidential candidates and special election upsets.
Not only does the poll show huge opposition to Ryan’s plan to replace Medicare with a voucher system, the poll shows Democrats winning the credibility war when it comes to Medicare and “protecting the middle class.” And — in a jolt of good news for the White House and Democrats — the numbers show that when voters are given Ryan budget messaging from opponents, support for the Democratic health care law actually goes up slightly in response.
I’ve seen the same types of responses in several other polls today…..
Now, if the Dems just don’t cave in during the negotiations over the debt ceiling, they have a- probably the- winning issue for the 2012 elections.
And the GOP has got to agree to increase the debt ceiling or Wall Street-who owns most of the government- will have a nervous breakdown.
They really have no bargaining legs to stand on….
But that’s not stopped the Dems from caving in the past…
