Bush Fares Worse In Polls Than Congressional Democrats, Despite MSM Spin
"The MSM would have us believe that Democrats in Congress have even lower approval ratings than George W. Bush's dismal poll numbers. But while in fact the Democrats' poll numbers are indeed low, they are higher than Bush's poll numbers.

"Typical of the MSM coverage has been USA Today, which recently quoted a Gallup Poll spokesman saying that the Democratic-led Congress has had a very brief honeymoon and stands lower in Americans' eyes than President Bush.

"There's only one problem with this MSM spin: not all members of Congress are Democrats. Break down the approval rating of members of Congress by party and the Dems have an approval rating of 37 percent, which (while low) is higher than Bush's approval rating. By contrast, GOP members of Congress have a truly dismal approval rating of a mere 29 percent."

1. Interesting point. It's also interesting that the American people (in so far as
their views can be gaged by a Gallup poll) see only an 8% difference between Republican and Democratic Congress critters. I think they're dead on.

Throw Diebold/ES&S and all election theft machines into 'Boston Harbor' NOW!

It's almost useless--except as a form of witness--to try to pressure Congress critters, almost none of whom can prove that they were actually elected.
