View Full Version : Dem-Controlled Congress w/Single Digit Approval Rating
Congratulations to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi on achieving a remarkable milestone. For the first time in American history, the public's approval of Congress has fallen to single digits. From Rasmussen (http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/congressional_performance/congressional_performance), via Drudge (http://www.drudgereport.com/): This month, just 9% say Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Even the fools who elected our current Congress are disgusted:
The percentage of Democrats who give Congress positive ratings fell from 17% last month to 13% this month. Encouragingly, independents have an even lower opinion of our Democrat Congress than Republicans do, with 3% and 8%, respectively, offering positive ratings. There are probably more people who believe Elvis is alive than who think Reid and Pelosi are doing an acceptable job.
I'm guessing that Louis XVI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_XVI_of_France) and Nicholas II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_II_of_Russia) would have scored higher ratings right before they lost their jobs. No government this despised by the populace it exploits can last forever. Yet we're told (http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=27013) that Dems will actually gain seats in November, and that they'll probably take the White House too, providing a rubber stamp for the policies that fewer than one in 10 Americans has a use for.

Nobody likes them. Yet we're told they're inevitable.

I don't understand how it is possible to perform as they have against the will of the people (their Bosses). If they were in the private sector and had a approval rating like this they would be sacked.

Uhh, The Prez ain't doing much better. Me and Wilson are a write in for the head honcho job. Remember if a year from now your still not happy, you only have yourself to blame for not getting behind the Short Bus Revolution!

Yep, looks like people are getting tired of the right/left debacle, and want these people to actually do something. Imagine that, the government actually doing what we elected them to do...run the country for our benefit, not special intrests or for thier political future.
I think if a third party canidate came forward that offered a middle ground and a sound policy not grounded in doctrine they could sweep the election.
Oh well, most likely it will be four more years of the same.

If she had her way civilization as we know it would end in about 90 years.With gay marraige and abortion rights accepted as they are, hetrosexuality will a thing of the past and pretty soon she would make guns illegal.
OMG I better stop.
That is too funny to pass up.
How is gay rights destroying hetrosexuality? I really have to know what you are thinking here.

I have noticed government at all levels have the same attitude. We pay out the arse so they can exist. If they have to actually do something it costs extra. :mad:
We all seem to share one opinion, throw the bums out. Maybe the purple party is the answer.

Sounds like fun, Racing and site seeing. I think the co-dawg seat would be better for some of those races.

What this country needs is another civil war to show these maggots that it doesn't belong to them. 10 million people need to march down to DC and grabbed everyone of those leaches by the neck. Then have the short bus party take over and make it right again! These cockroaches have been getting away with it for to long.Only after disaster can we be resurrected.

To be fair to Ziggy, you don't know the whole story and I was too late to delete my quote. It is a mute matter. It is not what it appears.
