It does not amount to Left vs. Right or Liberal vs. Conservatives anymore. They have lost site of the fact that we are the bosses and they are the employees. I sincerely hope that every seat changes and the morons in DC figure out that the game/gravy train is over and done with.

Unfortunately you're a really small minority. The approval of congress appears to be well into the 90% range.

Are you on campus at berkley? I have never seen a poll number near that high, perhaps a typo? I could believe 09% range.

Uh-hem.......


Approval of U.S. Congress Essentially Flat, at 25%

I wonder if gugi is referring to election day, the poll that matters. Congress member retention is still pretty high even with the low approval ratings. Maybe it's a case of "my senators are fine, but all you other states need to replace yours"

edit: http://one-simple-idea.com/CongressMakeUp_1855_2008.htm - at the end of '08, voters decided to keep 87% of the members of the House of Representatives. What will happen this coming November? Opposite to the reported 25% approval rating, I predict a 75% re-election rating. If I'm wrong, I'll ask for a refund on my crystal ball

More likely some red / pinkish variant. White is never a good color to be

Yeah, you guys are surely drinking the kool-aid. As Lee pointed out the actual polls are on election day.
Talk is cheap, especially anonymously on the internet. I personally try not to believe everything I hear.

Makes for a really strong union.

I think that the election day polls are affected by the possible fact that the majority of people just vote down party lines. I think you are going to see a little more involvment in future elections. People are pretty irritated right now and I think people are going to start doing research/homework in where they place their vote.

You are assuming we want a strong union. I for one do not.
