There is no shame in the Democratic party, and there is little left with the Republicans. That is why, for the first time in history, politicians are universally hated. Just look at congresses approval numbers... :-[ I am ashamed of our government. We are quickly becoming the laughing stock of the world.
Our enemies no longer fear us, our allies no longer respect us. What a sad time we live in. It is not long before night falls on our once great nation... :'(

Just 18% of U.S. voters now say Congress is doing a good or excellent job, down from 23% in May.
Forty-seven percent (47%) now say Congress is doing a poor job.
The political division of opinion is little changed. Seventy-one percent (71%) of Republicans and 56% of voters not affiliated with either major political party rate Congress’ performance as poor, compared to just 21% of Democrats.
The survey was conducted on the two day following House passage of a controversial climate control bill. Rasmussen Reports will release data o the climate control legislation tomorrow (Tuesday).
The Senate is currently wrestling with the details of an equally historic – and controversial - reform of the U.S. health care system. Fifty percent (50%) of voters at least somewhat favor the Democrats’ health care reform plan, while 45% are at least somewhat opposed.
Only 21% of voters say that, during the past year, Congress has passed anything that will significantly improve life in America. Most (52%) say it has not.
However, 52% believe it is at least somewhat likely that Congress will address the serious issues facing the nation over the coming year. That’s down from 62% when Congress returned to work in January. Eighteen percent (18%) say the legislators are very likely to address the important issues.
Seventy-three percent (73%) now say members of Congress are more interested in helping their own careers than in helping people while 14% say the legislators rate helping people as the priority.
Voters are evenly divided on the question of whether most members of Congress are corrupt. Thirty-five percent (35%) believe they are, while 37% say they are not. But 29% aren’t sure.
The overall view of Congress is not surprising despite the major legislation it has tackled to deal with the economy. After all, 74% of Americans trust their own judgment more than that of the average member of Congress when it comes to economic issues facing the nation.
Thirty percent (30%) of voters say the $787-billion economic stimulus plan passed by Congress is hurting the U.S. economy, but 31% say the plan has helped. Forty-five percent (45%) of Americans say the rest of the new government spending authorized in the stimulus plan should now be canceled.
Thirty-seven percent (37%) of Americans even think most members of Congress have extramarital affairs following Nevada Senator John Ensign’s admission that he cheated on his wife with a campaign staffer. Fifty-eight percent (58%) don’t think most members of Congress pay all the taxes they owe.

WTF!!! Whole lot of asses that need kicked. What ever happened to loyalty, or is it dead, is the only person you care about is you and your political career, f$#% everyone else? Un-f$%@ing-believable.

With bho's election and both houses of Congress to the Dems, all pretense to "fairness" is gone, the gloves have come off, along with the knives coming out, and it is everyone for themselves - so long as they toe the uber-liberal line, they will get theirs.

The answer, sadly, is yes. I have long maintained that the reason Washington politicians are worthless is the lack of term limits. They're so worried about KEEPING their jobs that they never get around to DOING their jobs!!

Why do you think I've been saying I would not even vote for a "Blue dog" Dem. The entire party is fundamentally flawed.
One started to stand, but the fat black woman told him "sit yo white ass down" and the gutless turd did.

Yet the sheeple keep re-electing them.....
I remember an episode of 60 minutes where Ted Kennedy, was re-elected again, and they were doing the "Man on the street" type interviews in Boston.
This women in her late 50's early 60's said that Sen. Kennedy is "looking out for the little people".
My mouth fell open,, and I knew that mindset, (which also got BHO elected), is going to ruin this country.
Which according to Rahm Emmanuel would be fine, because you can never let a crises go to waste..
>:(
Same for state gov. as well, gutless followers of a failed ideology. RINO' are included for they are NO better.

A constituional ammendment that should be passed. 5-6 terms in the House so there is experience and institutional memory, and 2-3 in the Senate. I'm not holding my breath for Congress to pass it.

Even shorter than that my good sir. Four terms for the House, that's eight years, and a maximum of two for the Senate, that's 12. Even then the idea of one person being in federal politics for twenty years it quite troubling. States should do the same as well. And no, you right, passing that amendment goes against every thing that the federal government has worked for. It took them a hundred years of progressive, sensationalism, and corrupt politics to get things this way, and we all know that they won't give it up without a fight.

So are you telling me that you remember books you never read?

I think he is referring more to the reasoning behind various policies and maintaining a continuity, the only problem is that while it worked out well with a majority of HONORABLE men, the current crop of self serving scumbags pass on a legacy of corruption, greed and stupidity.
