New Poll Suggests People Hate Republicans

But wait! Doesn't that same poll show that only 34% approve of the Democrats? A mere 8% difference in the approval ratings for both parties?

Don't worry; Chris Cilizza, Objective News Reporter for the Washington Post, has an answer for that. For while the public is sick of Republicans because of Republicans, the public is sick of Democrats... because of generalized annoyance with "Government" (which means: More Republicans).

Now don't think the means something like "people are increasingly dissatisfied with the Super Size US Government." No, he means like this:

People hate the Republicans because of what Republicans do;

but people dislike the Democrats Because of Society In General.

His attack on Republicans is quite specific as to their faults which supposedly drive public disapproval; but when it comes to the Democrats' own horrific numbers, he just sort of says "that's the state of play, man."

And when he says people don't like "government," he means squabbling in government, which itself is all due to the GOP.

But note that the Wily Reid, The Rock, isn't squabbling. No, he's taking a manly stand on principle.

I really can't tell which side the media favors with all the nuance of a rabid fanboi.
