Poll: Stepping On A Rusty Nail Now More Popular Than Congress, Approval Rating ...
Voter approval of Congress’ job performance has now fallen to a near five-year low.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that only eight percent (8%) of Likely U.S. Voters think Congress is doing a good or excellent job. Fifty-two percent (52%) rate Congress’ performance as poor.
From January 2007 through December 2010, with Democrats in control of both the House and Senate, the legislature earned good or excellent marks ranging from nine percent (9%) to 26%, although generally their rankings were in the low teens for most of this period. This trend continued through the early months of this year after Republicans regained control of the House, but Congress’ positive ratings fell to nine percent (9%) in April and May.
Since January 2007, poor marks for Congress have ranged from a low of 35% in early February 2007 to a high of 71% in February of last year. Since then, until the GOP takeover of the House, those giving Congress poor grades have generally fallen in the high 50s and low 60s. This past February, however, just 42% felt that way, but Congress’ negatives have risen since then.

excerpt:
“We have elections, but we have no representation. Congress operates much like the Mafia, except the Mafiosi are not paralyzed with fear when someone calls them “racist” or “birther.”
A made man, also known as a wise-guy, is someone who has been officially inducted into the Mafia. After the ceremony (election) the inductee (candidate) is then a made man and a full member of the Mafia hierarchy (Congress). The made man now enjoys the full protection and backing of the Mafia establishment (Congressional leadership) as long as he remains in favor (does what he’s told) and earns enough money (squeezes taxpayers), of which a percentage of his earnings are passed further up the hierarchy (kick-backs to buy votes for the next election).
Omertà is the Mafia “code of silence”. Congressional Omertà is used when: Congress grants special privileges to itself, which ordinary citizens do not receive; to cover-up criminal wrongdoing or ethics violations and to circumvent the Constitution.”
Golfing with the man who’s purposely destroying the country, not defunding Obamacare and stopping it’s implementation, not defunding the EPA, and let’s not forget that Lame Duck Session. Their is no leadership in the House. John Boehner likes his title, he’s just not a leader. He should know his limitations and step down for the good of the country. I guess we’ll have to remove him, and Cantor, McCarthy, Upton, who won’t let a repeal of his lightbulb ban bill to leave the committee. John Boehner is a lobbyist whore. He’s a bought man.
