freedomtalks.org— Rasmussen Reports released a new survey today that showed Congress has reached an all time low, receiving a dismal 9% approval rating. Here are some possible reasons why.

The question is how long has the left held power out of the last 50 years? The left in America is responsible for the downfall and immoral behavior. They advocate murdering children in the womb, free everything and high taxes.Liberals are idiots.
OldhickYours is one of the few posts on Digg that actually proposes an honest discussion. Congrats.In my humble opinion:1) An impeachment has to begin with specific charges accompanied by evidence. That has not happened. If there were any provable charges, the press and the Congress would go crazy drafting articles of impeachment. So far, nothing.2) First of all, Saddam was a threat to every country in the area. He showed that by attacking Kuwait, Iran, and threatening Saudi Arabia.He was also one of the worst psychopaths in history. His killing and torture is legendary. Had he been allowed to destabilize the oil producing countries, you can bet that oil prices would also destabilize (more than now) and world economies would suffer greatly. If Iraq can hold together as a democracy, the free world will have a stable anchor right in the middle of the most volatile region in the world. If this works, the free world will thank George Bush for many years to come. As usual, the U.S. does the heavy lifting for other folk's benefit since no other country can or will do it.3)The entire non-Muslim world is under relentless attack, for religious reasons, by radical Islam. This is all about killing the infidels (that includes us) wherever they can be found. Afghanistan was home for militant Muslim terrorists until we kicked them out. They then moved on to Iraq in hopes of establishing a new stronghold. Now they have lost that battle and are restricted to areas of Pakistan and, increasingly, East Africa. So long as they are being hunted down and killed, they cannot put together embassy bombings, 9/11 type attacks, or anything other than scattered suicide bombings. We are much less likely to be harmed by a terrorist attack today than yesterday and tomorrow even less -- unless we fold under political pressure from the left. 4) Gas prices are a symptom of a generally flawed energy policy. The opponents of developing energy sources are primarily the left wing Democrats representing a coalition of ecologists, not in my backyard, alternative energy, and other special interests that have in fact been successful in stopping any significant attempt to use available energy sources. Clinton vetoed ANWR drilling. It is impossible to get permits for nuclear plants, off shore drilling, coal gassification plants, refineries, transmission lines, clean coal generation plants, and even large wind and solar installations (just ask California). Of course some Republicans have joined the folly, but this is fundamentally a Democrat led effort. Just listen to their leaders on TV today -- obstructionists to the end! The rest of the world thinks we are truly nuts.This represents my thoughts on these issues. I'll bet they will be greeted by a few Digg well-reasoned "You are a f**king idiot" responses. No matter.

While the "right" advocate murdering everyone else. May "God" save us all from such hypocritical moral behavior.

I guess we'll have to start recalling all of them. They're not doing their jobs, so let's get them out of there now!

Careful there kemp34. I'm sure the current administration would love nothing more than to dissolve congress.
