“A large segment of the American public doesn’t have confidence in the Republican Party,” said Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., the party’s chief political operative for House races.
Golly gosh gee, Mr. Cole, I wonder why “A large segment of the American public doesn’t have confidence in the Republican Party.”
Could it have something to to with its being dedicated to making the rich richer and the poor poorer, with sending our young to die for a lie, with undermining the Constitution of the United States of America, with selling out the nation to the highest bidder, and with having a deficit of moral principles that would have embarrassed Little Nicky Scarfo?
Hmmmmm.
Ya think?

In fact, I think Democratic control of both houses is the primary reason Congress enjoys the approval rating it has right now.

Spoken like a true Republican.
The Bushie veto and the bullshit "you need 60 votes in the Senate to do anything" rule is why Congress has the rating it has now.
It’s the Republic Party obstructionism and its willful pursuit of wrong that has hamstrung Congress, not the Democrats.
Face it, Opie. The Republican Party sold out a long time ago. It sacrificed principle for power and for money, and now it faces paying the price for doing so.
The Democratic Party is not perfect, by any means, but the Republic Party has plumbed depths of corruption that not even Plunkett of Tammany Hall imagined.

The Democratic controlled legislature is the reason for Bush’s approval rating too, Opie! I read it in the paper, so it must be true.

"The Bushie veto and the bullshit "you need 60 votes in the Senate to do anything" rule is why Congress has the rating it has now."
Shall I commence a list of the Democratic senators who have stood steadfastly by the Senate cloture rules? And if you accuse them of opposing cloture for merely political reasons, they insist that they support cloture on principle.
