Research 2000's latest polling has some pretty bad news for the Rethugs (cue the sound of champagne corks popping). The Rethug Party only has a 25 percent positive rating, vs. 49 percent for the Democratic Party. President Obama has a 67 percent favorable rating, compared to Congressional Rethug "leaders" Sen. Mitch "Missy" McConnell (22 ) and Rep. John "Boner" Boehner (16). You can't fool all of the people all of the time.
Yet, as we noted in yesterday's posting, the Beltway media continues to treat the Rethugs as having "serious" ideas that are worth discussing and even enacting. The American public is saying "no sale" and the Rethugs are still rehashing their familiar, failed bromides -- tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, cut or eliminate Medicare and Medicaid, privatize Social Security, and give money to the Pentagon that they haven't even asked for.
Even worse news for the Party of No, the House and Senate have passed President's Obama's FY 2010 budget by solid margins -- with no Rethuglican votes.
