Democratic Congress Faces Lowest Approval Rating

Congress, controlled by the Democratic Party, has an approval rating among the lowest in history. Why? Because as a group Democrats have shown they are no different than their Republican counterparts . Democrats refuse to end the war, legalized the un-Constitutional wiretapping of American citizens by the Bush administration, and kowtow to lobbyists. We, as a people, get the government we deserve.

The one Democrat acting on principle in the Gonzales affair has been Senator Russ Feingold. He at least tried to dig into the visit of chief White House counsel Gonzales, as he then was, to the bedside of Attorney General John Ashcroft, to get him to sign off on the illegal wiretaps. And how did the Democrat-controlled Congress deal with Feingold's efforts to nail Gonzales for his efforts to undermine the Constitution and for his prevarications under oath? It promptly legalized the eavesdropping.

Just as the Democrats work tirelessly to demonstrate to the voters that it makes zero difference which party controls Congress, the political establishment forces all candidates for the presidential nomination to sever any compromising ties to sanity and common sense.
