Developing... Just a headline right now.

Here's the REAL PHOTO before Pelosi's office Photoshopped it...

"$4.55 is not high enough! I demand higher oil prices, now!"

[Constitution Day]

King George III's approval rating was higher than that in 1776.

Comment of the day!

I’m amazed that the Democrats are in control of the worst Congress...probably ever...and STILL manage to get the GOP blamed for things.

The GOP is stupid. If they were smart they’d be in front of this Congress, telling Americans that they need to vote for CONSERVATIVE Republicans.

[raccoonradio]

The poll is from Rasmussen...9 per cent say good or
excellent, 52 per cent say poor. Many feel members
are only in their positions for their own career/
career advancement, not to help the people. Oh, and
Dems hold a “double digit lead” in the likelihood of
being re-elected, I believe.

48% of the American people are dumber than a box of rocks.

Don't be so hard on the average Joe/Jane. People nowadays are very informed, watching cable news, reading blogs, reading news websites....
Why, most of the population can tell you exactly what LinsayLohan and ParisHilton are doing at all times.

[TexasGunLover]

The MSM has been extremely successful at one thing, dumbing down America to a point of total destruction.

Yep.

[Hoffer Rand]

The problem is that congress has gotten very good at pointing the finger at Bush for their failings. So, gas prices, the huge budget deficit, bad legislation, and a myriad of other things all get laid at Bush's feet, when anyone who understands how the government works, knows congress is to blame. I'll grant you, Bush could have wielded that veto pen with more vigor and more frequency.

Still, I like your sentiment. Let's throw the lot of them out and start over!

It’s game over in 20 years I believe.

Massive demographic shifts combined with entrenched socialist propaganda, plus poor education has sealed our fate as a nation.

A revival in being an American or having another Ronald Reagon just isn’t going to happen.

This is a splintered nation.

After 9/11 we didn’t have millions volunteering to fight like we did after Pearl Harbor. That speaks volumes.

Today in 2008 we have an outright socialist running for President that the media covers for and people swoon over.

America is all but finished.

[Miss Didi]

The Leftist Media can spin anything, because the voters generally are already brain dead.

The spinning has been in full force mornings on Fox, too. And the Friends just sit there. Barry has NOT flip flopped or changed his position on anything. It is we who are hearing wrong. Some author, who wrote a book about the reasons to be a Dem citing Tony Bennett because you know he travels the world and hears awful things about our country, squealed with delight that Barry and the Dems were going to win the election in a landslide! Claire McCaskill screeched that Barry is NOT raising taxes and McCain is protecting the rich like Bush.

And then there are cases when the Dems don't even spin--they just let their hatred show. Lanny Davis on Special Report last night was whining like a bratty child that the Senate is NOT going to have a vote on any of W's judges who have been waiting and waiting. Instead they will wait until Barry is president so his judges can be passed.

I apologize. I do have to give that 48% credit for at least one bit of knowledge, they all know that A-Rod and Madonna are getting it on.

[Munz]

is this Bush’s fault too?

[tobyhill]

It's also Bush's fault that A-Rod fooled around because A-Rod played for the Rangers at one time and Bush owned part of the Rangers one time.

[indthkr]

Congress Ratings bump.............

[Sopater]

48% of the American people are dumber than a box of rocks.

I would venture to guess that it is much higher than that. Some percentage that "believe" that congress is Democrat controlled were simply lucky in their guess.

[NYC Republican]

BINGO!

[pepperhead]

Drudge gets it. Just imagine how low it is going to get when gas hits $5 a gallon.
