We're not just useless, we're treasonous, scandalous, malicious and dangerous

President John Adams once said, "I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a disgrace, two are a law firm, and three or more become a Congress." With the approval rating of the current congressional gaggle hovering somewhere in the single digits, one has to ask: Can't we do better than this for $174,000 a year and the best benefits package in America?
It takes one's breath away to see the blatant disregard so many of our senators and representatives have for the very Constitution they have sworn to defend. Take, for example, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, who made the following statement recently concerning the healthcare bill: "I love these members [of Congress]. They get up and say, 'Read the bill!' What good is reading the bill if it’s a thousand pages long and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?"
This man is a lifelong lawyer and a 22-term Democrat. Do you think he cares about what is constitutional and what is not? (Oh, and by the way, congressman, this bill was not a thousand pages, it was twenty-four hundred pages.)
Last fall, when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was asked by a CNSNews.com reporter to cite the provisions in the Constitution granting Congress the authority to pass a healthcare bill, she answered with an incredulous, "Are you serious?" Are you, Madame Speaker?

We’re an Oligarchy now.
And Congress replies, “Sit Down, John; sit down, John. For God’s sake John, SIT DOWN!” (From “1776”).
And Congress says that to all of us. We are dirty, smelly, and just don’t have the sense to understand what they are doing. The H@## WE DON’T!!!!!
they look and act
demonic.
ObamaCare...on paper..is the final demented raving of a functionally insane institution...the US Congress...an entity so divorced from reality, singularly insulated from the populace it presumes to govern...by a Beltway Buffer of loot extracted from Flyover Country...that serves to distort its sensory organs toward its permanent and chronic self-sufflation and aggrandizement. The most we can hope for( and that they should pray for were they alert enough to the pending issues) is that the inevitable is less destructive than the French Revolution. It passage will be the grenade that blows the foundations out of the economy and what’s left of the bond market. Look for unemployment somewhere north of 12%...within 12months of passage.

They are.
Mr. Patton is far too kind.
The not useless. They’re in charge and they’re running wild, destroying our Republic at will.
I prefer the P.J. O’Rouke description:
“A Parliment of Whores.”
This article is cosmically stupid...its not the Congress but the VOTERS who enable the same corrupt bunch term after term after term... The problem is so simple to resolve yet it continues unabated. The electorate is either stuck on stupid, asleep or pathetic.
They are all raving lunatics - in charge of the asylum!
Kangaroo Kongressional Kongress
Congress is garbage serving special interests only!
they look and act
demonic.

It is said that dogs resemble their masters after a while.
It’s become a haven for airheaded, indifferent drones, somewhat similar to the French aristocracy.
The congress is obama’s usefull idiots. They actually think they are on the same team as obama. I think obama has other plans for them. They had better start watching their backsides. obama will turn on anyone.
And: "Giving money to Congress is like givng whiskey and the car keys to teenage boys."
The Useless leading the Clueless supported by the Hapless.........
“Useless” isn’t exactly the word.
The real word would get me tossed by the mods....
