No wonder they stonewall, and throw tantrums, and play games with people's lives
-- it's because they are so dang popular ...
Congress less popular than cockroaches, traffic jams
Public Policy Polling -- January 08, 2013
Facing low approval ratings after a historically unproductive 112th session and a series of last-minute showdowns over fiscal matters, Congress is now less popular than:
root canals,
NFL replacement referees,
head lice, [...]
colonoscopies, [...]
traffic jams,
cockroaches,
Donald Trump, [...]
Genghis Khan,
used-car salesmen,
and Brussel sprouts.
[...]
Less popular than Genghis Khan? -- now that's saying something!
I wish when they did polls like this, they referenced specific branches and factions of Congress {Tea Party}, as opposed to just the generic "Congress sucks, don't you think?"
Because I would imagine most people are fed up with certain actions and especially the Hostage-Taking tactics of certain factions of Congress. And especially how they make things wait until the last possible minute, and then some. As if they had all the time in the world ...
It's as if human misery and human suffering and human lack of help and opportunity has "no currency" in their book. Afterall the gerry-rigged people have elected them the Deciders; the all-wise arbitrators of popular stuff, like this:

Doncha know? They are the important ones. Those with the head-lice-ridden offices, down by river in DC. Hypothetically speaking, of course.
Quick, someone give that congressional pontificator a microphone. We must hear what they're going to say next ... Stay tuned America. These are the people salesmen speaking for you.
Let hope they don't sell us down the river, for "our own good," once again.
