If Only The Democrats Had An Opposition Party

If Only The Democrats Had An Opposition Party

When you see poll results this bad about the Democrat majority Congress, it should be a cause for celebration:

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just nine percent (9%) of Likely Voters give Congress positive ratings, while 51% say it's doing a poor job.
Congressional ratings first hit nine percent (9%) back at the beginning of July, marking the lowest ratings recorded by Rasmussen Reports. Ratings hit the same low two weeks later. Congress has not received higher than a 15% approval rating since the beginning of this year.
Indicative of the low opinion most voters have of Congress were the findings in another survey earlier this week of members of the leadership's own party. Just 37% of Democrats say they have a favorable opinion of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, while 51% have an unfavorable view of her. One-quarter (25%) of Democrats rate their view of the San Francisco Democrat as Very Favorable, but 14% see her in a Very Unfavorable light.
The news is even worse for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who is viewed favorably by 22% of Democrats and unfavorably by 41%. Six percent (6%) of Democrats have a Very Favorable view of the Nevada senator, but 8% regard him Very Unfavorably.

Unfortunately, the Democrats barely have any opposition. Why? Because while there are generally conservative Republicans in the House, like Bill Sali (R-ID) who represents me fairly well, there are plenty of Republicans who are just embarrassments: like Senator Larry "Happy Feet" Craig (R-ID). Like Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK), recently indicted on corruption charges.
