Reply #17: The "Congressional Bank scandal" + "House Post Office scandal" [View All]

[Poppyseedman]

really pissed people off.

The democratically controlled congress got arrogant, corrupt, lazy, unresponsive, scandal plagued and they paid for it.

The bank scandal, I think put the icing on the cake.

You think the American public have a low opinion of Congress today?

Try 17 % according to a CBS poll in April 1992 and for good reason

For those of you who will make a comparison to today GOP controlled mess and think history will be revisited. There is one big difference.

In 92, the scandals were "systemic" and "institutionalized" problems verses personal and individual problems like Delay and Duke Cunningham. In general the mood was throw out all the bums instead of just the the few bad apples.

We will see this Nov how badly the country thinks this mess the GOP resides really is.
