Published: May 17, 2006 3:30 PM ET NEW YORK The Gallup Poll reports today that "The percentage of Americans who say that most members of Congress are corrupt has increased significantly from the beginning of this year, and is now at the point at which slightly fewer than half of Americans believe most members are corrupt." This, interestingly, is similar to what Gallup found just prior to the 1994 elections, when Republicans swept Democrats out of power. However, there is a twist: Relatively few Americans think their own member is corrupt. But Gallup reports: "The American public is more likely to trust the Democrats in Congress -- rather than the Republicans -- to handle the issue of corruption, although the vast majority of Americans believe corruption in Washington involves both parties equally. The survey, taken two weeks ago, found that Americans are divided on whether most members of Congress are corrupt (47%) or not corrupt (46%). The percentage saying most members of Congress are corrupt is up significantly since January, when 38% said most members were corrupt and 55% said most were not.

That hasn't changed in fifty years..."Congress is the most corrupt institution on the face of the earth EXCEPT for my congressman...he's a saint, and he loves puppies, too." People like that make me want to beat my head against a stucco wall.
AS things continue to get worse, more and more sheeple will begin to awaken. Just today at the post office I saw a gorgeous young blonde and she was driving a high dollar auto. I couldn't decide, and I hate to just categorize on looks, but she seemed to be lost as so many are today. If she ever has to do some on the job learning to survive she will sure as hell be getting some dirt under her finger nails on those spotless cuticles and cute little hands. And that red paint on her toe nails will fade into a memory. ;0) BTW, that's why we had those chicken lights in the foot wells of the big truck, so the lot lizards could see the paint on their toe nails. ROTFLOL!
"Whenever legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are then absolved from any further obedience." John Locke, 1690
I know.. naive is an understatement.. I dont understand them I truly dont..
LOLOL!!!
Shit, if they think Congress is bad, Wait til they get a load of the Senate!!!!
