>>Congress is unpopular, not because of the voting record record of individual members. It is because they have become so partisan and have lost sight of the common good and just cannot get anything accomplished.<<

I disagree with that Chinu. But that was not my point. My point was that people usually vote in the worst person (Nixon versus MaCGovern)because the best person tells the truth and people do not want to hear the truth and the worst person lies and people believe them (Swiftboaters, Willie Horton).

Congrss is unpopular for the same reason Nancy Plosi is unpopular, the ignorance of the American voter. What is to hate about Pelosi?

Another way to prove this is the fact that while congress is very unpopular, individual congress people are reelected at over 90%.

So people hate congress, but love their particular congressperson. The only way I can make sense out of that is that people are not thinking clearly.

It all comes back to the primitive thinking of the American public. Remember, Bush won the second time because Kerry would not denounce gay marriage and Bush's being against gay marriage is how he won in Ohio!
