Americans Ready to Push GOP Off Fiscal Cliff

Provided it's a non-metaphorical cliff and everyone can watch Mitch McConnell attempt to fly.

Such are the results of a new NBC/WSJ poll, which asked what single word or short phrase people would use to describe the Republican Party.

Sixty-five percent of the responses were negative, 17% percent were positive. For Democrats, 35% of the responses were positive, while 37% percent were negative, marking another year in which Democrats won the title of America's least despised political party.

Our word-cloud illustrates the GOP image carnage. Go ahead and enlarge it if you want to try to commune with the low-standards-having American who said "smart."
