Just when you thought Congress couldn't reach a new low, it did.
Only a third of US voters think their Congress members have earned the right to get sent back next year -- a record-low number, a poll released yesterday shows.

I’m all for throwing all the corrupt bums out.
It’s good to see many of my fellow Americans feel the same way.
We may have a chance yet...

Thank god for Pelosi and Ried.
It will be interesting to see if the chests of gold the incumbents have extracted from the DC lobbyists for their relections will prove to be as valuable this time around.
In 2011, we really need a 3 Red 1 Blue composition until "Jeane Shaheen, The Abortion Queen" runs out of time.
I blame the entire bad reputation of Congress on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, both trying to push through legislation that would increase government spending and increase our taxes. No thanks!
Their latest plot is to force their Health scam on us. I am amazed no one sees this coming. These fanatics will never stop. Obamas new scam is the meeting with a few sucker Republicans. He will finally presnt “His” version. All his version is...The things they will vote reconciliation on.
Toss out all the government ‘workers’ as well!
“That’s the worst performance for Congress in the history of the network’s polling”
Wow...
“This is not a good year to be an incumbent, regardless of which party you belong to,” CNN polling director Keating Holland said.”
Here’s the RAT media’s story line hatchet job on what’s really going on!
Why should I vote out my GOP rep. with an ACU rating of 95 lifetime, 96 last year?
Early supporter of Hayworth, too.
In a California coastal district, to top it off.
My Senators are another matter, and any Republican will be my choice over Boxer.
Well said!
In the Congressional Purge this November let us not throw the baby out with the bath water.
who should we keep?
The only reason they aren’t all in the scum catatgory is that they are afraid to piss us off. This needs to be a constant.
Professional politicians need to go.
They get to stay when they start rollin back the past 100 years of progressivism.
I’m pissed and I tired of being lied to.
I love gridlock.
Term Limits and franchise reforms.
Limit all federal politicians to two (2) terms, etc.
Restrict the right to vote in elections to only those who can pass a high school civics test in English, have a clean criminal record and are NATIVE BORN Americans.
