I'm not happy with the way Congress is going. It seems to me they haven't kept the promises they made during the election.

What's the administration's approval rating?
Is Bush still setting records for an incumbent president?

I think so, oh well, most presidents generally have no problems with back to back terms when the approval ratings are so low.

From the link:

President George W. Bush and the U.S. Congress registered record-low approval ratings in a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday, and a new monthly index measuring the mood of Americans dipped slightly on deepening worries about the economy.

Only 29 percent of Americans gave Bush a positive grade for his job performance, below his worst Zogby poll mark of 30 percent in March. A paltry 11 percent rated Congress positively, beating the previous low of 14 percent in July.

They both suck.

You know how you can tell a politician is lying to you? His/her lips are moving.

It looks like GWB is almost 3X as popular as Congress.

I agree with you they deserve their low rating.

They need to represent their constituients wishes if they want a better rating and reelection.

The dems in congress can't do anything because they just don't have the votes, Doc... It takes 60 to get bills to the floor and 67 to override bush's vetoes...

The dems ONLY have 51 on a good day... now, to the mathematically challenged folks like RSR, that doesn't mean anything, but to rational thinkers like you and me, it does.

In order for anything positive to be done about ending the war in Iraq, some republican senators are going to have to find their conscience and vote WITH the democrats.

IMO, it's the republicans fault that nothing is being done. Not the democrats.

Need a crying towel? The Dems made all kinds of promises to get elected, they broke them and/or ignored them, they have accomplished nothing - and you expect the voters to believe it's the Republicans fault?

I think it goes beyond the dissatisfaction with any the failure to push through legislation. It's also the continual Dem whining, the focusing on partisan investigations that aren't necessary, the travelling to meet with foreign leaders without authority to do so. Etc.

also increased spending, increasing taxes, and doing everything in their power to undermine the troops and the President in time of war

Is this how you lead a country? Blame others rather than make things get done.

See if Republicans fail to get things done, thats not surprising. We believe the strength of our party is in the people, not the politicians who tend to be stupid sometimes.

Democrats on the other hand vote for what they call "The best and the brightest." We are continually told that Democrat voters cant handle any problems in life if Democrats in Government dont help them. Failure for Democrat "leaders" to get things done to a Democrat meants America fails to get things done.

May I suggest you guys actually propose something that can be considered a good idea instead of trying to stall defense spending, pretend 18-25 year olds are children, and attacking private citizens for comments they dont say?

I have yet to see an elected Dems or one of their talking heads, ever fess up they failed at something. It is always someone elses fault when they fail to deliver on what they promise to the voters

dont really care. they are bad even if people approved of them.

[actsnoblemartin]

Americans no longer believe in congress, and democrats can no longer pretend republicans are the only party of corruption.

I smell the hypocrisy.

Corruption is a washington thing, not a liberal/conservative thing.

Always has, always will be.
