Oh yeah? Well, what about spontaneous human combustion?
Fairly sure bet that for the next decade Americans wont be looking to Congress for any solutions. In fact, Americans will be mostly looking to Congress in an attempt to figure out how they are screwing the American electorate in the current bill they are 'constructing'.
An otherwise amusing report is spoiled by gratuitous references to spiritual and religious beliefs that don’t make any pretense to atheistic science.
I dont know where they found that 14% that trusts this government. They must have scoured the nut houses and insanity wards of the hospitals from one end of the country to the other. The only thing bi-partisan about this counrty today is the total uselessness of our politicians.
He forgot one. 92% of sports fans believe what they wear, eat and where they sit have a direct impact on the outcome of a game. Which, everybody knows, is true.
14% is very low. Usually, the “totally stupid” segment of a poll (any poll) hovers around 20%.
It’s nice to see that the rest of America has caught up to us and now sees the rat controlled congress for what we knew they would be.
The approval rating for Congress was low before the Democrats took control. After Democrats took over the approval rating fell even farther to its present low.
The significant thing to notice about this low approval rating is that Congress continues to pay no attention to it or the demands of most Americans.
The reason for this is that members of Congress have learned that they can retain power without pleasing the electorate.
All Congressmen should be measured by how he or she votes on legislation. A Congressman’s voting record should be made widely available so that everyone can plainly see how each voted on every bill.
Can you say, “Term Limits?”
With much vocal opposition to the latest proposed immigration code reform, Americans are loudly and clearly sending the Senate and other Legislators of both parties a uniform message: “We simply do not trust you.”
We do not trust you to see to it the laws are enforced no matter how craftily they’re revised or devised. We do not trust you to see to it America’s borders are secured foremost. We do not trust you to see to it America’s sovereignty is placed as a top priority. Neither do we trust you to see to it law enforcement is provided with sufficient and proper tools to combat the massive invasion of America.
Americans are telling you: “Enforce our current laws - close the floodgate of illegal migration first, then when we see a legitimate enforcement effort fails expectations, we may then be more receptive to entertaining sensible code revisions.”
It’s time politicians simply realize one thing: Americans do not trust Legislators.
Americans are saying; “Prove your commitment. You’ve said you would add thousands of Border Patrol agents. You’ve failed. You’ve said you would build the border barrier. You’ve failed. You’ve justly earned your no confidence vote.”
Of course he's alive, and living in Area 51! ;^)
It's the people that Hannity and Leno question during their "Man on the Street" interviews. Most of them don't even know who the VP is, some of them don't even know who the President is.
And, the people who vote based on feelings, campaign ads and editorial endorsements.
“Howdy! I’m a proud member of the “14 %er Club” and think we’ve got the best congress money can buy. Now where’s that jug ya’ll promised me fer sayin’ this?”
* Sixteen percent (and Rosie O’Donnell) believe that explosives brought down the World Trade Center (Scripps Howard/Ohio University, 2006).
Is the 16% actually less than 16% because Rosie is such a fat load? Does she actually make up 4% herself?
Do we have some sort of Rosie to normal person conversion wheel?
This 14% probably consists of college professors, teaching in a “studies” department (womens, trans gendered etc.), people who buy unpasteurized goat milk at local food cooperatives, residents of Ithaca and Berkely, George McGovern (yes, he is still alive), people who actually believed Cheryl Crow and now are using only a single square of toilet paper, Rosie O’Donnell, Hollywood stars whose pictures appear in magazines like People and Us. Left handed lesbians with unshaven armpits, participants in gay pride parades, aging hippies who are happy to be able to reuse their 40 year old anti war protest signs and unrepentant communists who still have pictures of Joe Stalin and the Rosenbergs’ on their walls.
