We are repeatedly told by the Left and Media that the President's approval ratings are at all time lows. They are, in fact, in the low to mid 30s. The cause of these low numbers can range from the war in Iraq to his stance on immigration.
What we are not being told is that Congress' numbers are far worse than the President's. Congress' approval rating has bounced between the mid teens and twenties for some time now, and this only eight months into the "new" congress. So, it's apparent, that as bad a job the American people think the President is doing, Congress is doing a worse job.
When it does get recognition, it will generally be reported that it's because people are dissatisfied that Congress has not brought the troops home from Iraq. This is just not true. While many Americans want our troops home, most Americans are not fooled by the fact that this Congress has done nothing credible at all since taking office. While the Left criticized the prior Congress of getting nothing done, this Congress has gotten even less done.
The reason for this is simple. The current Congress is now under the control of extremists, such as Kennedy, Clinton, Kerry and Reid. These leaders owe their very careers to such far Left radicals as MoveOn, George Soros, Michael Moore, PETA, the Sierra Club, the teacher's unions and such. These groups have agendas so radical that most Americans would be horrified at how close they are to those in power.
As these power-mongers have sought to advance their radical agendas, brave people in Congress have stood up and seen to it that their work is foiled. This has led to a lack of actual progress in Congress, and the people see this. Hopefully, more and more people are waking up to this reality and will remember it next November.
If you recall, though, these people ran on moderate, or even in some cases, conservative platforms. They claimed to hold the values of average Americans. They even claimed to be faithful church goers. Once they scammed the votes, though, they ran back to their radicals, asking for marching instructions.
So, as conservatives, we must keep up the pressure. We must expose their lies and their ties. If the American people can see them for the radicals they really are, we can take back our country.
