"Few Americans Regard Lawmakers as Statesmen " Poll results
How low can they go?!

Maybe just do away with the congress and SC and have various bush family members as president of diebold amerika?

"June 20, 2005
Few Americans Regard Lawmakers as Statesmen

(Angus Reid Global Scan) – Many adults in the United States are dissatisfied with the performance of their elected legislators, according a poll by Opinion Dynamics released by Fox News. Only 17 per cent of respondents believe the members of the House of Representatives and the Senate are statesmen doing a service for their country.

The negative sentiment stretches across party lines. 57 per cent of self-described Republicans, 65 per cent of independents and 68 per cent of Democrats believe lawmakers are petty politicians fighting for personal gain."

4. Very interesting!!
That's especially interesting to me, as one hoping we have somebody other than a lawmaker at the top of our ticket in 2008.

"57 per cent of self-described Republicans, 65 per cent of independents and 68 per cent of Democrats believe lawmakers are petty politicians fighting for personal gain."

Being a politician, especially in Congress, is NOT the one and only official "President School."

5. Except it's not unreasonable to say that the president is no better than
the congress.

Especially if anyone KNOWN to have political idealism or their families make an attempt (e.g. * or those who know him) would never be trusted in a coup anyway.

The problem is for once not the system. It's loopholes in the system that allow our electred bilgebags to kow tow to the highest bidders; the lot of which have no concern for/of the people.

But if * tried such a coup; that would not work in his favor. Directly or otherwise. The people aren't that sheeply. Not with *'s ratings at 42%.

No, *'s only option is to induce martial law. He'll get what he wants and it won't matter what anyone thinks. Typical MO.
