Congress locked in dead heat with Ebola Virus Polls
by JohnHuang2
In light of the Democrat Congresss latest approval ratings, the Dems new winning pitch is: Vote for us, under 90 percent of Americans detest us! Or, Re-elect us, you aint seen absolutely nothing yet! Or, Peace, Progress and more hearings. Or, Join the dozens of people who still approve of us!
Even unbiased and perfectly objective CNN has Congresss approval rating in the toilet, as does the LA Times. Congress has been trying to pass amnesty, DREAM acts for illegals, civil rights for al-Qaeda, Habeaus Corpus for the Taliban, resolutions about the Ottoman Empire and the Senate spent weeks talking about Rush Limbaugh, so its a real enigma why Congress is unpopular.
Maybe Democrats should launch an investigation into Bushs polyps that should do the trick.
Bushs numbers are up to three times higher than Congresss, but hes the lame duck.
Frustrated that the California wildfires didnt turn into another Katrina, Senator Barbara Boxer claimed the fires spread fast because theres fighting in Iraq and Senator Harry Reid said Bush was to blame because the fires were set by global warming a claim so preposterous even the Democrats press chums played it down since EVEN THEY know the fires were set by Dick Cheney, not Bush.
The one good news for Democrats is that most polls show Congress still pulling double-digits up to 11 percent approve in the latest Zogby poll! But thats down from its rating in July, when Congress was riding high at 14 percent. Congress peaked too soon.
To be fair, the Pelosi Congress last week achieved history! This Congress has voted 1,000 times so far this year. The American Spectator reports that Pelosi demanded that Democrats mark the 1000-vote milestone as a glorious victory for the party. Of the thousand votes, 900 never became law, and of the 10 percent that did, half involved naming federal buildings.
On her official Web site, Pelosi noted the remarkable progress for the American people, listing them one-by-one:
* We made our very first vote the implementation of the independent, bipartisan 9/11 Commission recommendations, except for those teensy-weensy ones having to do with overhauling Congressional oversight of U.S. Intel agencies. The bill included such terrorism-prevention measures as expanded labor rights for 45,000 useless airport screeners, a privacy and civil liberties oversight board, better Walkie-Talkies for firefighters.
* We voted to increase the minimum wage for the first time in 10 years, and over 300,000 teenagers dropped from the labor force mysteriously when it became law in the summer (though many were back to work again in September, due to Bushs jobless economy.)
* Voted to make America more energy independent and help fight global warming, and oil is only $91 per barrel now! The Democrats Energy Plan consists of not drilling, not building nuclear power plants, not expanding refining capacity while raising taxes on Big Oil on the theory that if you want more energy, you tax it more.
* Voted to clean up Washington with John Murthas indispensable help. William Jefferson is still on the Homeland Security Committee and Alcee Hastings is still on the Intelligence Committee. Other than these crooks, Washington is thoroughly clean now.
* Worked to strengthen our national security and provide a new direction in Iraq by voting for failed non-binding resolutions and by having lots of hearings on Blackwater, Iraq, Halliburton, Bechtel, Iraq, Blackwater, Valerie Plame, Blackwater, Iraq. As a result, more troops in Iraq now than when the Democrats took over.
And the list of remarkable progress goes on SCHIP, Bush vetoes SCHIP, House Democrats pass revamped version of SCHIP because Bush doesnt support it, DREAM, EDNA, trying to vote on the Ottoman Empire, not trying to vote on annual budget bills, etc. But the real biggie is the Iraq war. The Democrats nut base elected them on the promise to make America lose the war, now instead its their side al-Qaeda thats losing. (In response, Democrats are flying their white flags at half-staff.)
Beaten repeatedly by the powerless Lame Duck moron, Democrats are now going after Judge Michael Mukasey, Bushs nominee to be Attorney General. They didnt like John Ashcroft because hes too conservative. They didnt like Gonzales because he hadnt torched 80 civilians to death. They didnt want Ted Olson because Muslim fanatics murdered his wife on 9/11. They didnt want Larry Thompson because hes black. They didnt want Christopher Cox lacks experience ordering botched raids. They said they wanted Mukasey. Now they dont want Mukasey because Mukasey might get too rough on terrorists. So were back to too conservative again.
Senate Democrats are crying because Mukasey wont declare waterboarding al-Qaeda illegal, especially since Congress hasnt passed any laws against it. Were Mukasey to say what the terrorist-coddlers want him to say, he would legally undermine CIA agents who waterboarded captured terrorists and undercut the chaps at the Office of Legal Counsel, so Democrats are really shocked about Mukaseys refusal. He would also be revealing classified information, which would immediately land him a job at the New York Times.
Upset, Democrats postponed a committee vote and sent Mukasey a letter demanding that he reject waterboarding, an interrogation technique that simulates drowning, or a ride in a car with Ted Kennedy.
The Treasoncrats may decide to go to the mat to protect their little innocent clarinet players and ballerinas in Guantanamo from being put in stressful positions, but whether by recess appointment or straight up-or-down vote, Mukaseys the next U.S. Attorney General, and the losercrats will be on to new hunting grounds Blackwater!
Anyway, thats...

Great thread and Pledge, dutchess! Great analysis from JH2 - The Democratic Congress is absolutely pathetic. Look for Pelosi to get the door before it’s over.

It’s all the truth and it makes me so mad! They’ve been doing that for years and instead of detesting such behavior, civilian Dems are shedding their senses of values, too. It looks like a hopeless decline in our society.

It seems our congress men and women have only partial committments to their constituents, with greater influence from their party and special interests. it’s a cliche, but they have lost touch.

Never too late, IMO.
President Bush laid into the RATS today as being too comfortable with Moveon.org and Code Pink.
Wish he would have been shouting that months ago.

At the beginning of his administration, Bush talked of returning to values, neighborliness, sharing and looking out for each other. I was hoping he’d pushe it, but he never really did.
We need a strong leader who can hammer that into us all. That would fix the Dems good.

See my post #16.
I agree with you, but Bush did talk about it and he didn’t follow up.

Another funny view of our not so funny politicians.
Love the graphics Dutchess, thanks for the presentation!

The one good news for Democrats is that most polls show Congress still pulling double-digits up to 11 percent approve in the latest Zogby poll! LOL!!! That's probably a result of only polling dem dam dems.
On the bright side, when one considers this "do-nothing" congress, it means they haven't initiated any costly programs on we the bill payers.
Great Job dutchess and John!
