“Strikingly, Congress and Republicans haven’t seen their numbers go up. Just 16% approve of Congress’ job (unchanged since December), and only 23% approve of the job congressional Republicans are doing.
“And then there are the parties’ fav/unfav numbers. The public gives the GOP a 25%-46% rating, down from 30%-45% a month ago. By comparison, Democrats are at 35%-38%, when they were at 37%-39% in December. Bottom line: You can hardly tell from our NBC/WSJ poll that the Republican Party was the big winner from the midterm elections just two months ago. Somehow, Obama and the Democrats stole the Republicans’ post-election honeymoon. Or the Republicans somehow lost it.”
"Approval ratings go up and down for various reasons... An example is the high post 911 support for GWB even though he could be said to be responsible for the event." --- Box A Rox '9/11 Truther'

Are you sure that's not a picture of a bridge in Libya that Obama bombed?
Tea Party wants to stop the federal government from blowing up other countries bridges to build US bridges. The psychopath statists will never stop blowing up other countries infrastrucure...It's Un-American!
If they don't join you based on the 'invitation' then jail them using all the legislative power you can muster....I'm not so sure that college education can be held to a higher standard than jail today....college loans aren't any different than living on a chain gang.....
4 walls with the same outcome....just labeled differently...blue collar/white collar....all politicians have been to college and yet,,,, they are not in jail, they get the 'get out of jail free' card......not to mention most politicians are CEO/lawyers 'do-gooders'....hahahaha
does anyone else find this a magical potion of poison?
Quoted Text
New blood joins this earth And quickly he's subdued Through constant pain disgrace The young boy learns their rules With time the child draws in This whipping boy done wrong Deprived of all his thoughts The young man struggles on and on he's known A vow unto his own That never from this day His will they'll take away
What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be Never see Won't see what might have been What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free Never me So I dub thee unforgiven
They dedicate their lives To running all of his He tries to please them all This bitter man he is Throughout his life the same He's battled constantly This fight he cannot win A tired man they see no longer cares The old man then prepares To die regretfully That old man here is me
What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never be Never see Won't see what might have been What I've felt What I've known Never shined through in what I've shown Never free Never me So I dub thee unforgiven
You labeled me I'll label you So I dub thee unforgiven
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS

Really? How does 1% figure into: Increase tax on wealthiest Free 2 yr college Invest in health care reform, scientific research, and the ailing infrastructure Invest more in education Government regulation of cronyism Promote economic growth and independence from foreign resources
Those appear to be points I recall over last 6 years. How is that giving everything to the 1%?
Is it successful? NO. Is it possible...YES! Will it happen.... not with the REPS in control unless they start caring about the American public instead of only themselves.
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
Is it successful? NO. Is it possible...YES! Will it happen.... not with the REPS in control unless they start caring about the American public instead of only themselves.
Do you think any of them actually care about you dem or rep?

Savings rates have been practically zero for the past 6 years. The poor and middle classes have no place to save their money, they are putting their money into the casino called the stock market to keep up with inflation in an attempt to keep their current standard of living. It isn't working. Wall St is getting all the money from the bottom up, as well as the cheap money from the top down, but the money flowing into Wall Street isn't trickling down for the 99% in terms of pay.
Inflation is up, I really don't care what government reports say. I bought a bag of white grapes that ended up costing $10, and the small cans of campbell's chicken noodle soup were $1.99 - I nearly stroked. For a bag of grapes and a can a soup, the minimum wage worker has to work over 1 hour just to pay for it. Even if you are getting paid $12 per hour, it isn't much better.
All the free education, infrastructure and science research investment, or increased taxes on the wealthiest isn't going to do anything to correct the day-to-day economic reality for the 99%.
And as for your claim that Obama's policies were not successful of redistributing the wealth, but it is possible, just not with REPS in control - how do you know that? Obama's policies resulted in the largest gap between the rich and middle class, and rich and poor in US history. GW Bush's tax cut policy actually increased the wealth of both the middle class and the poor. It would seem that this targeted redistribution of the wealth that Obama practices doesn't work. It only makes for good political rhetoric.
