- goodnrg, on 06/20/2008, -7/+169I know that my confidence dropped a little more today when they caved to Bush on granting the telecoms immunity.
- ExRe, on 06/21/2008, -4/+122I'd like to give a message to all those in congress who play follow the leader.

░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░░ - pintomp3, on 06/21/2008, -6/+108they haven't stopped the war. they haven't supported impeachment. they are helping the administration violate the constitution. they gave immunity to the telecoms. they are complicit. even then, the democratic congress polls higher than the republican congress:
http://www.pollster.com/blogs/3CongPartiesJob.png - Metalteeth9, on 06/21/2008, -3/+63So we hate our president, we hate our congress, what is left for us to like, the Supreme court?
- Gillagad, on 06/21/2008, -4/+60Throw the lot of them all out. My entire government makes me embarrassed to be an American, the founding fathers would weep upon seeing what we let happen.
- pintomp3, on 06/21/2008, -2/+54because both parties answer to the same masters. and it's not the american people.
- homedaddy, on 06/21/2008, -7/+46seriously, how depressing is that. The Dems take back the house and senate and then do NOTHING. Granted we'd probably have passed legislation that lets Halliburton and Exxon come into your house and directly ***** your children if the Dems hadn't taken power but I'm getting more and more pissed off with all politicians by the day.
- IndigoMoss, on 06/21/2008, -1/+37I'm pretty sure we hate that too...
- lazyfisherman, on 06/21/2008, -2/+31The neocons ruined the Republican CONSERVATIVE party... but.. gotta say.. the Democrats have been a disappointing failure. There's a only a few bright lights in Congress and a lot of dim bulbs who are only there to suck away power from the people. It's not hard to understand why people don't believe in Congress anymore.
- Shadic, on 06/21/2008, -7/+33If the Republican Congress wasn't so stupid, and if the Democratic one could get a spine, I'd be a bit happier with them.
- pintomp3, on 06/21/2008, -2/+28they upheld habeas corpus. they are still ok for now.
- soupdawg30, on 06/21/2008, -2/+27***** both parties..
- legalchaos, on 06/21/2008, -4/+28Here is how I think of it:
Bush is a little kid. You tell him not to do something, and he doesn't listen, the only remedy is go tell his parents to get control of him.
Congress is the parents. If they don't remedy the kids faults, then you got nothing.
Ladies and Gents, we got nothing. - BeefBaron, on 06/21/2008, -0/+23$$$
- mecharabbit, on 06/21/2008, -2/+24It is rather mind boggling. Bush is a lame duck president with record low approval ratings, and this is an election year that will favor Democrats. Why would they feel the need to give any ground on that issue?
- rjn17960, on 06/21/2008, -2/+23The current Congressional leadership is embarrassing. They were voted in on a mandate to end the war and stop the Bush administration abuses, but instead they've just caved in over and over again, and issued Sternly Worded Letters that are routinely ignored.
Hell, they can't even enforce subpoenas. Losers. - stonebear, on 06/21/2008, -2/+22I can't give democrats benefit of the doubt anymore, it's gone to far; to do so at this point would be absurd. It's not spinelessness; it's collaboration, plain and simple. When the hanging starts, I expect to see such "liberals" as Pelosi and Feinstein kicking and dangling right alongside their fascist/zionist masters. If I get close enough, I'll ask them how they are enjoying the "bipartisan" event.
- FreeTalkLIve, on 06/21/2008, -3/+23Overthrow the government.
Start over. - matrixbandit, on 06/21/2008, -3/+23Steny Hoyer and Nancy Pelosi should be beaten to death in front of both houses as a warning to all. Simply having them replaced in not enough.
- InetRoadkill, on 06/21/2008, -1/+20I think their confidence rating will drop to near zero after today. The constitution was anally raped by congress with this latest stunt.
10 years ago, I would have never imaged a congress and presidency with so much contempt for civil rights and the constitution. The corruption was a given, but the systematic march towards a fascist state was unthinkable.
Bin Laden has succeeded where a civil war, two world wars, a cold war, and numerous smaller wars have failed. He knew where to hit us. All he had to do was trigger a fear response and watch our govt destroy us from within. Bush and his cronies, the GOP and Democrats alike are all accomplices to OBL who could never undermine our freedoms and liberties without their help. - TheLittleVoice, on 06/21/2008, -4/+22They don't give a rat's ass about us because the can hack the Voting Machines.
- kingUssop, on 06/21/2008, -1/+20To be truly fair the no impeachment thing is a major roadblock, and that's mostly Pelosi's fault.
- sylvok, on 06/21/2008, -2/+21The worst part about this is, the people are letting this happen. People dont want to care or learn about the world, all they care about is how cheap walmart's prices are. To us, people that do know what is happening, it sickens us to the core that others cannot be motivated enough to figure out what the leaders of one of the worlds strongest powers are doing.
- DangerCollie, on 06/21/2008, -3/+21Bush is incompetent and corrupt but the Congress that rolls over on war funding, telecom immunity, impeachment and warrantless wiretapping is worse.
- Borgcube636, on 06/21/2008, -0/+17Lets sneak into the Congress building and steal their seats next time they have a meeting.
- mobling, on 06/21/2008, -0/+16After listening to Nancy Pelosi speak today about the democrat party caving in yet again, it almost brings me to tears. What happened? When did we succumb to these people of such demeaning esteem? It's probably a good thing that I won't be around when this once great country crumbles. I can only hope and pray that history portrays Mrs Pelosi in all her wretched glory. Please don't torture me as I am just another discarded vet, who probably won't be bothering you for much longer. Nineteen percent approval is a handout for congress.
- Thrilltone, on 06/21/2008, -0/+15The stooges feel safe from our wrath because our rage is diluted over 500 of the bastards
- Izult, on 06/21/2008, -2/+17yes but look at the dissenting comments.
- Elderon, on 06/21/2008, -1/+15I look at it like this basically. There is only one president so he can kinda get away with being a complete moron. Congress however, is many people and there is no excuse for almost ALL of them to be complete ***** morons. They are supposed to provide a balance to the president / vp and right now they are trying to screw us as bad as bush has/is.
- bales, on 06/21/2008, -9/+23Ron Paul
- etherreal, on 06/21/2008, -2/+15Let me see. Telecom Immunity. Refusal to cut funds to the Iraq War. Pelosi bowing to AIPAC and putting an Iranian invasion back on the table. Cockblocking oil production when we need it most. Proposing a windfall tax. Not balancing the budget. Bringing us closer to the brink with an "economic stimulus package". Attempting to socialize the oil and gas industries. ACTA.
Can anyone find me a reason to like our democratically controlled congress? - brycelb, on 06/21/2008, -5/+18I was expecting the - they didn't stop the war and didn't push impeachment - excuse and was not disappointed. I guess if you're the typical digg user you really believe this is why the approval rating is so low. Unfortunately you would be wrong. The presidents approval rating should clue you into that. The Dems lost a golden opportunity to gain massive political ground when they felt it was their time to start pushing personal agendas. Look at most of the frivolous crap that has taken ALL of the valuable time away from the Senate. The genius that is Harry Reid actually spent tax payer money to put together a speech complaining about Rush Limbaugh. Are you ***** me! This is why people are fed up with Congress.
- barstegry, on 06/21/2008, -3/+16Welcome to the mid-1700's in England.. find comfort fellow peasants. You know the rich will take care of us.
- Aero347, on 06/21/2008, -0/+13Actually, they'd probably go start another country.
- InetRoadkill, on 06/21/2008, -2/+15Scalia is a piece of *****.
- Chainheart, on 06/21/2008, -1/+14Democrat != supporting a Democrat unconditionally
- justz00t, on 06/21/2008, -4/+17They have not caved to the administration what so ever!
What we are seeing is what they really are, a farce!
I think its time to stop looking to government for answers and start finding them for ourselves. - bales, on 06/21/2008, -2/+14It's all about being informed. People can't take action against something they don't know is going on. This stems from the stranglehold our media has on our opinions. Those of us here on Digg are quite a bit more informed than your average citizen.
I'm from a small conservative mid-western town, and I feel like a stranger in a place I've lived for 25 years. A majority of people here don't have a clue, nor do they even want one. Most people seem to opt for the "Blue Pill".
It really makes me sick to my stomache... - stizz, on 06/21/2008, -1/+13Because if the lawsuits were to have gone forward, several high profile democrat names would have surfaced.
They are all in collusion, this saved their asses. ***** PELOSI, I'm voting for Sheehan. - inactive, on 06/21/2008, -9/+20Hey, YOU voted for them. What does that say about YOUR intelligence?
- 55mph, on 06/21/2008, -0/+11I wonder how long it will take for the negative confidence to inspire change. If American's simply accept the situation as being endemic and futile, it's a lost cause.
Don't expect any support for change from the MSM. - matadata, on 06/21/2008, -2/+1344% of the Democratic and 94% of the Republican Congress voted "Yea." That's pretty disheartening.
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2008/roll437.xml
Curiously, a Digg celebrity appears in the the NV (not voting) category.
http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2008/roll437.xml#NV - crispee, on 06/21/2008, -0/+11We have a good constitution. We just need to abide by it. Maybe it needs a few amendments to prevent the influence of big corporations, etc. But we don't really need to start over. We need to wake up.
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -2/+12Vote all those f**kers out! I'm not voting for one single incumbent. That's the only way they will get the message and start listening to the American people instead of lobbyists.
- Elderon, on 06/21/2008, -0/+10It's not just that they didn't try and stop the war or impeach or anything like that. It's that plus the fact that they keep trying to jam this big brother crap down our throats against the will of the people.
- inactive, on 06/21/2008, -0/+10I support Digg, and all the pissed off nerds that come along with it.
What the hell can we do right now? The economy is *****, the administration not even trying to hide the fact that they are a bunch of monkeys, housing market is *****, the dollar is weaker by the day, gas prices don't exactly help either.. the only thing I know to do is blame 'the man'. - rottencod, on 06/21/2008, -0/+10lol. revolution would like totally raise my gas prices, dood. i can't afford revolution.
/sarcasm. - Echosphere, on 06/21/2008, -2/+12REVOLUTION
- nakani, on 06/21/2008, -2/+11Our current Congress is like a malware-addled Windows install with an overflowing registry and a taskbar full of spyware
It's time to format this *****. -
