Complete Headline: Congress Is Less Popular than Cockroaches, Lice, Root Canals, Colonoscopies, Genghis Khan, Communism, King George
Business Insider notes today:
A June Gallup poll [showed that Congress] had a 10% approval rating [while] and one in March that showed North Korea with a 12% favorability rating among Americans.
That’s nothing…
We’ve previously documented that the U.S. Congress is less popular among the American people than cockroaches, lice, root canals, colonoscopies, traffic jams, used car salesmen, Genghis Khan, Communism, BP during the Gulf oil spill, Nixon during Watergate or King George during the American Revolution.
Postscript: While some wrongly assume that partisan gridlock is the cause of Congress' unpopularity, the truth is that there has been bipartisan unity among Congress members in:
That's why Congress is so unpopular.
It wasn't easy ... but we've managed to become less popular than cockroaches, lice, root canals, colonoscopies, traffic jams, used car salesmen, Genghis Khan, Communism, BP during the Gulf oil spill, Nixon during Watergate or King George during the American Revolution!
After their attacks on healthcare, the Second Amendment and now trying to pass amnesty, it is easy to understand why.
Don’t forget hemorrhoids.....
Genghis Khan was awesome!
Yet 90%+ of incumbents will win their next election...
They forgot to mention falling into a septic tank.
Wow! They’re still THAT popular?
Now I know why they still have the audacity to ask me for contributions under the guise of the many “surveys” they keep on mailing.
As Dave Barry put it, the etymology of the word “politics” derives from the Greek, “Poli” meaning “many”, and “tics” meaning “blood sucking parasites”
They forgot to mention mosquitoes, bedbugs, STDs and raw sewage.
Uhhhhh...yep, sounds about right.
and these arrogant jerks in congress and Obama think they are our masters and kings
Genghis Khan was awesome!

We are not under your laws
and we do not pay your taxes."

Where is our representative government?
Nancy Pelosi is incredibly ugly, and she did it to herself. Those rich old hags who are desperate to look young keep getting that baggy old skin tightened over and over, until eventually they get that “night of the living dead” look. Diane Feinstein has that same look, and we’re starting to see it on Hillary. Whatever happened to growing old gracefully? I know old folks with natural skin, and they are quite beautiful.
One more face lift and she’ll be sporting a goatee!
