Con:

The Democrats are continually squaking that they recieved a mandate to lead in the last election....did they?

President Bush's approval rating at 34.2% is almost identical to the Democrat run Congress at 36.7%

The disapproval is 55.5% for Democrat run Congress versus 62.0% Bush. So it appears that people are no more happy with the Democrats than the EVIL PRESIDENT BUSH!

They aren't because the Dem's are being Dem's which is the same as the GOP. They are all bad people that are in it for corrupt reasons.

A silly thread. Congress always scores lower than the president because most people believe that their own congressman is honest and fair, but that everyone else's is a crook, a partisan hack, or both.

I don't believe that at all.

"most" is rarely all-inclusive.
