Do you believe those polled are illiterate? Is that your theory? Seems like a weak theory.
Of course they are illiterate. There certainly isn't one poster here who can support the contention that the Republicans have done any such thing.

You should poll the American people and ask them why they believe the Republican's are intentionally staling economic recovery. This should be good. We'll wait.

Are you asking everyone here if they've participated in the poll?

Clearly there are a lot of Americans who believe the Republicans haven't done anything...unless you count "intentionally stalling economic recovery".

Ok so you now admit there isn't any basis for such a belief. Kinda proves many folks are politically and economically illiterate. You can find polls that prove Americans believe all sorts of nutty things. It doesn't make those beliefs accurate. Such is the case here. For goodness sake, you can't even produce any evidence and you are as partisan as can be.

So are you now claiming you don't think the Republicans are intentionally damaging the economy?

Waiting for examples. Last time I checked we've spent OVER A TRILLION on the recovery. Give me examples of this hijacking because from the looks of it, if the GOP is intentionally stalling the passing of bills that would help the economic recovery, they are failing because you cant spent $1T+ without bills.

Think the voters will forget obama got EVERYTHING he wanted in his first two years?

Think the GOP/RNC/Conservative groups will let them forget?

Now he wants more of the same that has already failed.

Half the country, including a majority of self-identified independents, believe that congressional Republicans are using their political power to thwart Obama’s efforts to reduce unemployment.
