Well, despite the devastating new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll that shows just how effectively the Republican Party is committing suicide, that side of the aisle just hasn't gotten the message. They're still saying incredibly stupid and absurd things, like how healthcare reform is comparable to slavery.
Goodness gracious. We had no idea that the individual mandate — a Republican idea from the get-go — was the same as keeping an entire race of people in bondage for hundreds of years.
But we cats say, fine: Have at it, Grand Old Party. Because stupid behavior like that has yielded survey results that pollsters call "jaw-dropping" — and which apparently drove Congressional Republicans, hat in hand, to the White House yesterday. And when Boehner and Cantor did not emerge from that meeting with guns blazing, we knew they knew the jig was up. (We also love the fact that the President is refusing to save them from themselves.)
What else do we love? The fact that poll was conducted from October 7-9. Which means that since not much has happened yet to change the trajectory of the story, today's GOP numbers are probably even worse.
