Not the most popular thing out there:
A new poll done for Republican members of Congress has found huge public opposition, and solid opposition among Republicans, to the idea of shutting down the government over the issue of funding Obamacare.
In a national survey of 1,000 registered voters done July 31 and August 1, the question, from pollster David Winston, said, “Some members of Congress have proposed shutting down the government as a way to defund the president’s health care law” and asked respondents whether they favored or opposed that plan.
Overall, 71 percent of those surveyed opposed a shutdown, while 23 percent favored a shutdown. Among Republicans, 53 percent opposed, versus 37 percent who favored. (our emphasis)Unfortunately, we suspect the 37 percent of Republicans that favored a shutdown over Obamacare are overwhelmingly the ones most likely to vote in a primary and who, therefore, must be obeyed!
Fortunately, former crackpot Rethuglican Sen. Jim "Demented" DeMint, who now is polluting politics over at the Heritage Foundation, has an alternative to Obamacare!
