Poll: Congress got mad hate for ya votahs.
Americans have one more thing to whine about. According to a recent Zigby poll, members of Congress have never had a lower opinion of the American people.
The poll indicates that for the first time congressional opinion on the people they serve has fallen to single digits. A total of eight percent of Congress members say they have a "good opinion" of the American people. Only six percent of the members surveyed said they had a "great opinion" of their constituents.
"This is historic," said Raymond Zigby, who runs Zigby polls and still lives with his mom. "We've always assumed that Congress loathed the people they supposedly served, but this is the first time they've admitted it."

LOL.
the feeling is mutual
“The poll indicates that for the first time congressional opinion on the people they serve has fallen to single digits. A total of eight percent of Congress members say they have a “good opinion” of the American people. Only six percent of the members surveyed said they had a “great opinion” of their constituents.”
The American people have a 5-6% favorable opinion of this Congress and with this news that number will drop even more and that is the formula for civil war and revolution.
Satire Alert
This is satire with lots of truth behind it especially among the elitist marxist/socialist liberals.
Americans (if they can be called that anymore), deserve the Representatives they get.
Like battered women syndrome, the battered keeps electing the same type of men, and those men hate them for it.
When satire is so close to reality, it is not really funny.
Well yeah... but this is satire.
What you said !!
Satire that is close to reality.
We, the people they represent, are not highly regarded by the “elites” in Congress. If for no other reason, that’s a good argument for term limits. Twelve years of total service in the U. S. House of Representatives and/or the U. S. Senate and then they’re out! When they start to look down on us, they are no longer our representatives.
They hate our guts. We are peasants to them. It’s all they can do to send out their full color mailers to our postal addresses.
This has been a test of the thread hijacking system. If this had been an actual thread hijacking, you would have been alerted to pictures of single strands of barbed wire on the border and rude illegals giving you the finger. This was only a test. :-)
