The media "spin" of the day.
"Who's to blame?"

The voters will say "a pox on both their houses".

This is a loser for both Parties... blah...blah...blah"

BUT...

Will they really say that?

Should they actually say that?

Maybe we will have a poll tomorrow to prove the point.

That is vintage media spin.

1. Sure they'll say both parties are to blame
They always do. Then, they go on to say how it's not really "both" parties, but really more one than the other. Then they run down the list of who's to blame for what. Then they'll conclude that it's really the "tax and spend liberals" in the Democrat party to blame, and the "fiscally responsible" deficit hawks in the Republican party who are trying to "save" America. So, really, when you get right down to it, there's only one party to blame: The Democrats.

Problem solved!

4. It doesn't matter from a reality standpoint as to blame and accuracy
since it did take both to arrive at this moment. One is just mean and uncompromising. The other eager to.

6. Not really.
But my opinion has some facts contained based on observations and actions taken. The Republicans have been radicalized but the Democrats have been changed as well.

9. And when it's pointed out that polls show the public blames the Repukes more than the Dems, ...
the spin is: oh, but that won't last until election day.
