Quite an accomplishment to pull off The tea party/GOP led house has gained congress the status of the least approved in the history of the nation after the american people's strong opposition to their handling of the debt ceiling.

The tea party approval also is at record lows, of only 20%

Also: "All told, Republicans came out looking worse than the Democrats during the debt crisis, with 72 percent disapproving of the way Republicans in Congress handled the negotiations"
2012 isn't looking good for the right, that's for sure...

The GOP is in charge of congress? Are you trying to spin something here?

"Round, like a circle in a spiral
Like a wheel within a wheel.
Never ending or beginning,
On an ever spinning wheel
Like a snowball down a mountain
Or a carnival balloon
Like a carousel that's turning
Running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping
Past the minutes on it's face
And the world is like an apple
Whirling silently in space
Like the circles that you find
In the windmills of your mind"

Keep on spinning.

Maybe that this whole 3 years "recession" is their fault ?
Got to get all blame OFF the Dems as they can only do good in this world.

Err, from the link --"All told, 72 percent disapproved of the way Republicans in Congress handled the negotiations, while 66 percent disapproved of the way Democrats in Congress handled negotiations. "

I would say neither are looked upon favorably, but ....

I think I've instructed you before OP, there are two chambers of Congress.

The democrats, who haven't put forth a budget in 800+ days, control the other.

They will not believe it, they actually think they came out of the mess smelling like a rose when in reality they came out smelling more like what makes roses grow healthy Their wake up call will come in 2012 in the form of voter backlash.

See, the problem is obama is the one that will face the whole of America. The GOP will only be facing the voters in their districts, who actually wanted them to cut even more. So whether or not a poll of adults disapproves of the congress is really irrelevant.

Obama is in all likelihood going to get re-elected, the traveling freak show that is made up of the current and possible GOP candidates is unappealing to even many Repubs, drives you moonbat crazy doesn't it. GOOD.
The voter backlash in the Districts will take care of the rest. Enjoy
