Technically, I think he is telling the truth when he says he's not gay. Assuming he can get it up for his wife, then he's bi.

@1, not really. He might be able to get it up by imagining his wife's lovely pussy is a nice tight boy-ass. There are ways of getting around sexual barriers when you really must.

Of course, he still *might* be bi. But he's still a lying hypocrite, and that's the key point.

An 18% Congressional job approval rating constitutes "recuperation and rejuvenation"?

--An 18% Congressional job approval rating constitutes "recuperation and rejuvenation"?

That's the overall approval rating. Most people, when asked about the performance of their own Congress-person, usually say they think they're doing an okay job.

That aside, the Dems are in a better position than even the most positive polling numbers indicate. A friend of mine recently had lunch with a researcher for Congressional Quaterly and he said every bit of internal data he sees indicates the GOP is going to get a shellacking in 2008. He also predicts that Hillary will be the next prez.

BTW, this same researcher was telling my friend, months before the mid-term elections, that the Dems were going to retake the House and Senate, based on similar data.

Secret Squirrel: I don't dispute anything you said; everything does point for more gains for Democrats next year, although nearly every poll says that people like their rep, "it's the other guy that's the problem".

My point is what good is having seats/branches in government if you're not going to use your power? The failure of the Democrats in Congress to deliver (or go to the mat for their ideas) is why their approval is in the crapper.

That's why the Democrats voted for the war and the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act. Brain hemorrhage.

I don't think he is gay - just likes a taste of cock from time to time.

VERY common, hate to tell you all who only see either or.
