3. They might here because I just hit "disapprove"

There is less hope now than there was a year ago.

And we've been in charge of what legislation gets to the floor.

4. Weird - I bet *no-one* here thinks the current Congress is *worse* that the previous one....

... but DUers seem to think they should be *rated* worse.

Nuthin like disappointment to artificially lower ratings.

6. Post that question as a poll.

This is a poll question right out of Rove's office.

Of course most of us disapprove to varying degrees, but that doesn't mean we hate Congress and love the President. That's how the GOP would use the results.

they have extended the Patriot Act
funded the war
given Bush the FiFsa

9. Nothing like Democrats colluding to sign away our civil rights.

Disappointment doesn't begin to describe it.

Which is worse, when someone you expect to betray you betrays you, or when someone you thought was on your side betrays you?

8. This result is relatively predictable

But well deserved as well.

I haven't abandoned hope but i am not as close to it as I once was.

11. I can't vote - you don't specify Democratic Congress - I would

Edited on Mon Aug-06-07 02:36 PM by higher class

vote NO for the Democratic Congress (as of their last disaster for the country and free men everywhere), but I would want them separated for the emphasis of disapproval which I would expect them to get - a NO for Republicans is a given.

NO NO NO especially to Webb, Klobuchar, and Feinstein - what a disgrace. They are saying that Virginia, Minnesota, and California citizens don't give a damn about rights and freedom.

When are they coming up for re-election?
