How many times have you had to correct the idiots, that Congress does not mean the House of Representatives, only.

Congress consists of both the House & the Senate.
Do nothing, Congressional approval ratings get thrown on the House, when it is Harry Reid obstructing bills from further view.

alot of ignorant people exist im afraid

but usually folks know what congress is, but it's a wording tactic some use when they wanted to make people think that republicans had all the congressional power

since they do have congress now, they will definately emphasize how "bad" congress is and make sure to triple and quadruple stress the approval ratings and whatnot

i figure that we will see alot more theater, especially if the minority party wants a spending bill passed. sounds of nancy saying how republicans hate the poor and other nice sentiments

I agree, Reid killed many bills in committee before even reaching the floor of the Senate. Most people don't see those.

There are Republican ideas that should have been voted on, the Keystone pipeline is one of them, just as an example.

I think Congress as a whole gets low approval. If Republicans do nothing but pass Obamacare repeals, and tax cuts for the wealthiest while cutting the home mortgage tax credit, and child tax credit, they'll find themselves on the reverse of the wave in 2016.
