Told you so
I saw this article first thing this morning.
Two-thirds say Congress worse than Bush.
What?!?! People are unhappy with Congress? Our Democratic Congress?!?
Here are a few money quotes:
"Poll respondents from both political parties say they’re tired of the bickering between Congress and the White House, and they want the two branches of government to work together on such issues as education, health care and the Iraq war."
Work together? Bickering?!? Say it isn't so.....
"Approval among Democrats fell 21 points, down from 48 percent in May to 27 percent.
It remained low among Republicans, at 20 percent, and has not changed significantly in the past two months.
Republican pollster Whit Ayres noted that three-fourths of the country is unhappy with how things are going.
“The longer the Democrats are in control of Congress and people remain dissatisfied with the direction of the country, the more responsibility the people place at the Democrats’ feet," he said."
Take a minute, read the whole thing.
Now, I'm not a big fan of polls. I'm an analyst. I know you can skew numbers and data to tell any story you want. I'm not bringing attention to this because it is exactly what I thought would happen. I'm bringing attention to this because....well, Yeah - it's exactly what I thought would happen.
The Dems are imploding. They are so busy positioning themselves for fame and glory, so busy pointing fingers and grandstanding that they aren't getting anything done.
Huh. And it's not going well for them. Imagine that!
And honestly, it's not JUST the Dems. There are plenty of Republican's that are jumping on that same bandwagon. Tryin' so hard to "Look" good that they aren't Doing The Right Thing.
I'm starting to feel ignored. Like they forgot all about US. The people. You know, the ones they are supposed to work for!!!
They're not gonna change their ways. Period. And with the race for President that started so early for that party, they'll burn themselves out. It's bound to happen. And because their focus is so much so on things other than the business of the Congress and Senate, they'll continue to drop in the polls.
And if that happens, we're going to see another big swing. Period. That leaves the door wide open for folks like Fred Thompson to come in and save the day. A voice of reason as it were.
But my fears are being realized. While these clowns - Rep and Dem alike - PLAY at politics, they are dragging this country into the mud. The good news is that people are finally starting to realize it.
I'm really REALLY worried they're gonna make an even BIGGER mess before someone gets a chance to stop them.
I won't say I told you so. Ok, maybe I will........

Declare or go away, I am tired of hoping and waiting for him to decide.
And as for Congress, I am afraid that the bickering is only going to get worse closer to the election and someone, somewhere is going to take advantage of our inattention to anything but the race.
Posted by: Quality Weenie at July 14, 2007 09:01 AMThe pols of both parties are misreading the electorate. They are all screeching and hollering about whether were are in a war, whether we should be fighting, blah blah. Meanwhile I'm sitting here with a billion and a half Muslims in the world with an unknown but substantial percentage of them that want to kill my grandchildren.
Dear Dubya, dear Congress, I want you to quit farting around trying to lock up Border Patrolmen, Marines and cops and figure a couple of things out.
You can start with stopping this Religion Of Peace crap. How many of these pissed off pig fuckers want to kill my daughter because she isn't wearing a tent? One percent? Ten percent? Half? How many billions of dollars are we paying for intelligence? Tell me a percentage? Now, tell me how you are going to either change their minds or kill them.
