    Default Congress is at 9% approval rating

    I hear that Congress is at 9% approval rating. I dont have a link yet. But with Congressional approval so low, is it likely that Democrats can keep control?

    What's the alternative? The GOP has failed bigtime, and Libertarians are nowhere to be seen.

    ...counting the minutes until GWB is blamed...
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    You are so ambitious! It's wonderful.


    I think I just won't vote; that'll work, and it's simpler.

    If the satisfaction rate stays low we will probably see a rollover in the next election similar to the last one.

    My Personal happiness level by party level 1 percent being completely fed up, 100%, being completely satified

    Democrats 1%
    Republicans 2%
    Libertarians 3%

    Big Difference cant ya tell?

    Ok, I have a question. If this poll is correct, just shy of 1 person out of 10 approves of the U.S. congress right now. By rough estimate, that's about...27 million people. Who the hell are these guys?

    Name one thing the government does better than the private sector and I'll show you something that requires the use of force to accomplish.

    Yeah, why not be ambitious? What the hell is the point of freedom if we don't do something with it?

    You don't have to vote if you don't do it. I just dont see how its going to fix anything.
