Voters are very
disappointed in Congress, whose "approval rating" has dropped to a
paltry 9%. There are many good reasons for this: "Since the Democrats'
taking control of Congress, housing starts have stopped and existing sales
slumped, the national debt, which only Congress can control, has
blossomed, the dollar has declined sharply on international markets,
unemployment has risen by close to 50 percent from its previous level, which
was in the "statistical grass" and the lowest in recent history and
fuel prices have skyrocketed." [Emphasis mine. -RT] Before the Democrats
took control in Congress we were doing pretty well. Not the greatest, since the
liberals in Congress have consistently obstructed every effort the president
made to do away with our dependence on foreign oil, sold grudgingly to us by
our enemies. The president's numbers consequently aren't much better. Holding
steady at 32%--almost THREE TIMES that of Congress. But nobody's interested in
that. Every time Bush's ratings go down by a quarter percent, it's front-page
news. But Congressional approval numbers "just aren't news,"
according to the liberal media. I wonder why . . . Kiplinger even tried
to convince us that, while the president's ratings are all-important,
Congressional ratings tanking, aren't. (Sun-Sentinel)
