Who's Left?

Who supports Congress? Who are the people who comprise the 14% of Americans that still have a “great deal” or “quite a lot” of confidence in the Democratic Congress?

Last month, Gallup reported that Congressional job approval was at 14%, “…the lowest in Gallup’s history of this measure and the lowest of any of the 16 institutions tested…” Last week, a Zogby poll said that Congress was still languishing at that incredibly low approval rating (14% said they were "excellent" or "good;" 83% said they were "fair" or "poor.") They’re doing even worse than the Republicans were just before being blown out of the majority in the 2006 election.

I thought that low number might correlate to the hard core, anti-war Michael Moore types. In a Thursday interview -- after recovering from Harry Reid’s Tuesday night anti-war Senate slumber party -- Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) told me it wasn’t even the Michael Moore MoveOn.org folks.

This is, you will have to admit, a gret mystery.

This is one time I believe the polls...

I take a lot of satisfaction in numbers like this. In the end though it really doesn’t matter as nobody votes “for congress”, they vote for THEIR Congressman.

It doesn’t matter who is in power in the halls of Congress, the American people still have very little confidence that congress can, or will, actually DO anything about anything that will help the people.

Curiously 14% of Americans are atheists:

It’s tough times for the Dems when they can’t even rely on the Michael Moore - Barbra Streisand wing of their party

Sorry, as much as I would like to believe that idea, that statement is pure Bull.

They can count on them to do the only thing that matters and that is vote.

And anyone here who believes that the dems and loony left are not going to contribute had best look at the monetary figures for both parties.

We are being beaten on contributions big time, and until something really changes, like a bill sent up to build the entire wall and crack down on employers and such, the imbalance is going to continue.

Count on most of them not getting that until they are hanging out with Daschle.

Should you wish to return letters asking for $$ with a little note of complaint and no money, please note that they are shredded without being read.

If you want to bitch at them, then include a buck or something equally of little worth. - They do read those letters.

Then vote them out!

I’d say 95% of Americans could not be convicted of being Christians were Christianity illegal.
