It's hard to imagine Congress getting any less popular. The Republicans are succeeding in weakening the president, but they're making themselves even weaker in the process.
From USA Today/Gallup Poll.
Only 24% of those surveyed say most members of Congress deserve re-election, the lowest standing since Gallup began asking the question in 1991...
If congressional elections were held today, Americans by 49%-45% say they would vote for the Democratic candidate over the Republican.
The intransigence, the lying, the obstruction, the racism, the greed, the polarization, the hostage-taking, etc. have taken a toll on our economic system, our politics, and our psyche. I suspect we're all feeling it to one degree or another.
Now is the time we find out what we're really made of.
In my dream, the angel shrugged & said, If we fail this time, it will be a failure of imagination & then she placed the world gently in the palm of my hand.

This manufactured debt crisis has caused a real crisis to evolve. I have never seen so much anger. On a conservative site, I am in the process of debating five conservatives on the issue, and not one of them has the slightest defense for their position. Not one of them has read the Standard and Poor published PDF of why we were downgraded. They don't need to. They are just making the story up as they go along.
ReplyDeleteJohn - that's disturbing that they haven't read what S&P said. But it does speak to a phenomena that I see a lot on both the left and right - everyone is an expert and facts be damned!
