The media and Crybaby Harry Reid would want you to believe that U.S. public is against the Republicans regarding the debt ceiling problem. Well, they would be wrong.
From Hot Air, quoting CNN, hardly a conservative friend: One has to go thirteen paragraphs into the story to find CNN addressing this at all:
Republicans like the “cut, cap, and balance” approach to the debt ceiling, as do Democrats and independents. Most Americans support a balanced budget amendment, and most, but not as many, think an amendment is necessary to get federal spending under control. A balanced budget amendment passed the House earlier this week, but a vote in the Senate is expected to fail.
Er, yeah. In other words, a consensus exists across all political lines that the CCB/BBA approach would be a good idea. When one scrolls down to the crosstab sections of the raw data, the consensus becomes very, very clear. The CCB/BBA approach wins majorities in every single demographic — including self-described liberals. Sixty-three percent of Democrats back the House bill. The least supportive age demographic is 50-64YOs at 62/37; the least supportive regional demographic is the Midwest at 61/39. Even those who express opposition to the Tea Party supports it 53/47.
In other words, it’s a clean sweep. Simply put, there is no political demographic at all where the CCB/BBA doesn’t get majority support. The BBA on its own does even better. It gets 3-1 support (74/24), and except for those Tea Party opponents (56%) and self-professed liberals (61/37), doesn’t get below 70% support in any demographic.
Guess what doesn’t get much support? The McConnell plan. Respondents rejected the idea of letting Obama raise the debt ceiling on his own, 34/65. Not one single demographic supports the idea, not even Democrats (40/60) or liberals (34/65).
To quote Barack Obama, the American people are sold — on the Republican plan passed in the House to deal with the debt-ceiling and spending crises. Too bad CNN buried the lede.

So, Crybaby Harry Reid, go for the vote, the American people are not on your side when it comes to the current budget crisis.
Maybe, Crybaby Harry Reid, if you did your job by passing a budget within the past 2 years, maybe you could have avoided this problem. But you, Crybaby Harry Reid, decided to concentrate on politics instead of doing your job and now you are put in this position.
So, Crybaby Harry Reid, guess what: you and President Obama are leading the Democrat lemmings over a cliff and when the GOP takes over the senate and the presidency next year, you will be just a broken down crybaby.
