Republican Led Congress Even Less Popular Than Bush

The Only Thing Less Popular Than Bush:

The Republican Led Congress

A recent poll conducted by the Times and CBS shows that only 25 % of Americans approve of the job that the Republican led Congress is doing right now. Bush’s approval rating is at an astronomical 37%! Evidently the only thing American's hate more than an incompetent, arrogant president is a Congress that follows such a leader so blindly.

Is it any wonder both our president and our legislative branch fall so far below our expectations? Have they accomplished anything at all? There is an old saying that goes, “It is possible to produce nothing but destruction.” Usually it was used to pan such instruments of destruction as the atomic bomb but it certainly fits the political product being produced in Washington right now too.

So just what do we have to show for placing our trust in the republicans?

1. A vast deficit that will be left for America’s youth to deal with.

2. A government that says terrorism is on the decline but then stops counting attacks because they want to label Iraqi insurgents terrorist. If they count them it will look like there are thousands of new attacks each year. No Fair!

3. New warnings from scientists that global warming will produce dire consequences sooner than expected and it may be too late to stop it! No fair again, George W. just found out it really exists!

4. Billions of dollars that could have gone to education, health care, social security or ….tax breaks?.....instead blown every year in Iraq.

5. Afghanistan slowly reverting to its pre-9/11 status. Taliban on the rise. Opium production hits new record again this year. Most wanted terrorists sipping tea comfortably somewhere in Pakistan. Hey what happened to those American troops and all that money who were going to rebuild the country? Oh yeah, they go sent to Iraq!

6. A few rich people get a token tax break while everyone who is living from paycheck to paycheck, 35 % of the workforce according to a recent poll, still has to pay the usual amount.
