Throw the bums out: poll
NY Post ^ | March 17, 2010 | ED ROBINSON

Posted on 03/17/2010 3:33:27 AM PDT by Scanian

The vast majority of Americans don't approve of Congress, according to a poll released yesterday.

Only 17 percent of those surveyed in The Wall Street Journal/NBC poll approve of Washington's legislative branch, while 77 percent disapprove.

In fact, half of the Americans surveyed would vote to replace every single member of Congress if they were given a choice.

The 50 percent of respondents who would start from scratch would even get rid of their own representatives, according to the poll. Forty-five percent were happy with their own representatives.

The poll has a margin of error of 3.1 percent.

Actions will always speak louder than words! I really want to see it actually happen on November 2, before I’m fully convinced.

That’s a little bit Glenn Beck-ish of them. There are many good Republicans. In fact, how many Republican Senators have voted for MengeleCare?

The dim bulbs don't even realize they will have that choice in November. The public-educated,dumbed-down electorate doesn't even realize they can clean House AND get at one-third of the Senate. That would be a great start!

Conservatives need to make sure they do absolutely everything possible to alert the citizenry of the golden opportunity that awaits them in a few short months. Ads and talking points should work overtime stressing this!

Do you mean to tell me that 17% of Americans actually approve of those parasites, cruising cruising around on private jets, living the high life on the backs of American working men and women while they plot how to squeeze even more of their hard earned money out of them???

Washington needs a monument to P. T. Barnum.

In fact—the name of Washington, D.C. should be changed to Barnum, P.T.

How many can't wait to make illegal Aliens full citizens of the United States with free health care?

There are too many Politicians in both parties who mock our citizenship including both of my U.S. Senators and at least 10 out of the 13 House members.

You ARE given a choice, and yet incumbents are returned to office time and again...talk about empty rhetoric...

Confirmed moochers.

Confirmed moochers plus people who believe in fairy tales. The two groups are not identical.
