The American People Are Pissed! Will Congress Listen This Time?

http://cannonfire.blogspot.com/2007/06/more-poll-trollin-readin-tea-leaves.html

Quick update on polls: The latest LA Times/Bloomberg poll shows a precipitous drop in approval of Congress, at 27% now, down from 36% in January as the Dems were about to take over.

Opinions abound as to the impact of the Iraq supplemental bill compromise on this drop, but the numbers seem to strongly suggest that folks really really expected the Dems to come in there and kick some serious Bush butt on the US occupation.

As I've suggested here previously, those numbers have been solid for upwards of three years now, with no sign they'll reverse at any point. The citizenry just does not want us in there, and they want us out, ASAP.

Unless we start rioting in the streets, that is.

It's the fact that few in politics or the media are dealing with The Truth.

I live in "Red Neck" Country and have noticed in the last two months that people are much more open to discuss things without the "party line" being attached.

Maybe it's because the Repuke line is less important when the "lien" is being attached?

Maybe because more and more Republicans are wondering what happened to their party? And how it became so "Repuke-rid"?

there is more and more observation that the media is not speaking for Middle America.

This is a huge concession if for the last three years you are somebody who has tuned in to Fox News and have supported "our President"

5. "Realists" NEVER LISTEN. They talk. At least, the most abusive American regime TOOK ACTION!

The regime took action to deplete this nation, profit by lying, kill another nation or two and argue they had the power to ignore their oathes, our laws and the interests of the American people.

Congress sits with thumbs up their butts saying, "impeachment isn't practical"?

THE PEOPLE WOULD CELEBRATE A CONGRESS THAT'S ACTUALLY COURAGEOUS ENOUGH TO IMPOSE THE 'RULE OF LAW' UPON THE EXECUTIVE,...FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!!!

6. Sadly I think exactly as you wrote

That mantra that they who are so dark hearted took action and did something;
while those supposedly of more noble intentionsit and look dazedly at "reality' - it
is destroying my soul and what little is left of my brain.

It's about time to force term limits on them.
