I'm at a Loss for Words.

It is amazing isn't it? The thing they promote, they now suddenly object to...why is it I don't believe these jokers?...

Would it be Frank and Studds?...yes!

Not quite. See below article. And if the new Democratic Congress trips up the Cretin in the WHite House who got us into a useless $8 billion/mo war, so much the better!

Voters' Approval of Congress Falls
To 16%, Lowest Point in 12 Years

Public support for Republicans' control of the U.S. Congress has eroded to its lowest point since the party took over 12 years ago. And with just 19 days until the midterm elections, both President George W. Bush and his party are in worse shape with voters than Democrats were in the October before they lost their House and Senate majorities in 1994.

A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News Poll shows that voters' approval of Congress has fallen to 16% from 20% since early September, while disapproval has risen to 75% from 65%. That 16% approval statistically matches Congress's lowest point in the 17 years the Journal and NBC have polled, set in April 1992 at the height of a congressional scandal involving members' overdrafts from their House bank.

Scandals are contributing to Congress' current free-fall as well. The poll bears out the damaging impact on Republicans of a string of ethics cases, from last week's guilty plea by Ohio Rep. Bob Ney on corruption charges in the ongoing investigation of lobbyist Jack Abramoff, to the furor over inappropriate emails to House pages from Florida Rep. Mark Foley, who resigned late last month. Republicans' woes continue: As the poll was being conducted, news broke of an Federal Bureau of Investigation probe of Republican Rep. Curt Weldon, who already was fighting for his political life in Pennsylvania.

By 52% to 37%, voters say they want Democrats rather than Republicans to control Congress after the Nov. 7 election. That wide 15-point Democratic advantage is another record in the history of the Journal/NBC poll.

This is why Democrats keep losing elections. They care so much about polls but forget that they actually have to go out and vote in November. The polls showed Democratic victory in 2002 and 2004 yet they were blown away in both elections. Polls are only as good as the pollsters and most of them are hacks for the left. The polls do not determine our leaders and I will predict now that come November, Democrats will once again be left scratching their heads wondering what happened and looking for ways to spin their losses into "moral victories."

The Foley incident has done more to expose the extreme liberal hypocrisy that it has to hurt Republicans. It also shows that the left is morally and ideologically bankrupt. All they can do is try to smear the Republicans on offenses that they commit daily. Now we have stories of Harry Reid's corruption but the left does not care. Nobody cares about the actions of one man and how it affects the rest of the House Republicans but they do notice when one side says one thing and does another. People do not like double standards and the left is full of them. You can have sex with 16 year old male pages if you have a (D) by your name and you can take money from Jack Abramof if you have a (D) by your name but they will blow a top if that little (R) shows up. Get you bottle of Paxil now because you will need it in November. I cannot wait until 2008 when Rhodam-Clinton has to defend her positions in a debate. I would pay to watch her.
