Comments on Post-Halloween Greeting From Our Incredibly Popular Congress

I can tell you I'm mad about one incumbent Democrat and his endorsement of RTID/ST2 right now.

Why do they ask if people approve of Congress as a whole? The question makes no sense, because it is open to so much interpretation.

I meaningful pair of questions would ask approval ratings for each party in Congress separately. Since that's what everybody really wants to know, why don't they ask that?

Do I approve of Congress? No, cause it has GOP morons who keep us in Iran, and a few Dem quislings who help them.

I found this section to be the most telling:

Rep. Rahm Emanuel, who led the House Democrats’ campaign committee during last year’s election, said he can live with these numbers for now. “I would not call it a grand slam, but you are on a base,” he said Tuesday.

He appealed for realism: “If 70 percent of the country feels rotten about how things are going, you are not going to get them to feel positive about any institution or person.”

In other words, the DLC doesn't give a fuck how shitty things are, they're not going to do anything about it and all they care about is getting re-elected and staying in power, which seems to be the only goal of politicians on both sides.

I wish we could just pull the plug and start over with publicly financed elections and all new representatives.

Dem leadership needs to play hardball. Pelosi and Reid should be doing a lot more process-wise to stop things instead of trying to accomplish things that no one outside of President Bush wants to see accomplished.

Realism is not funding the Iraq War and specifically limiting the military from engaging in hostile actions in Iran.

But that's something beyond the Republicants and the few Dem quislings that keep us in Iraq for the next 50 years (no, that was NOT a joke).

Does anyone who reads this wonder why 45% of Americans don't bother to vote? And, whom does that help? ^..^
