Over half of the American people believe that the Republican party is too extreme. Gee, ya think?

According to the survey, 53% say the GOP should compromise more, with 41% saying the Democratic Party should give up more of the proposals it supports to develop bipartisan solutions. 

"That's due in part to the fact that the Republican brand is not doing all that well," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. 

Fifty-three percent of those surveyed say they view the policies of the GOP as too extreme, up 17 points from two years ago. Only 37% say they view the polices of the Democratic Party as too extreme. 

It probably doesn't help that House Speaker John Boehner, who's leading GOP fiscal cliff negotiations with the president, is held in fairly low regard, particularly in comparison to Obama. According to the poll, 34% of the public approves of how the top Republican in the House handling his job. By contrast, the president's approval rating stands at 52%. 

"Small wonder that nearly half say they have more confidence in President Obama than in the congressional Republicans and that nearly half (48%) would blame the GOP if the fiscal cliff occurs," adds Holland.

Okay will SOMEBODY please show this to the President and tell him to stop trying to compromise with these people?

Nobody likes them, they no longer have credibility, and they are rapidly headed to extinction.

Essentially all Obama has to do is to step over their politically paralyzed bodies and push through the policies that the majority of the American people elected him to do on their behalf.

This is clearly no longer a "center right country" (Not that I ever thought it was) and it is time to run this nation like the progressive paradise that it so desperately wants to become.

Do you hear me Mr. President?
