The U.S. turning Communist polls better than Congress!

[daveman]

Of course they said that....drink another glass of orange Kool-Aid.

If you'd read the link, you'd find some information there from another source. Thanks.

It's not at all surprising that you applaud this.

Hmmm, I don't think he's applauding it. I think he's just glad to see that somebody pointed out how people feel about these clowns.

Does that include the Democrat clowns?

Rhetorical question. Synthia doesn't criticize fellow liberals.

 

[daveman]

No, it's you wingnuts who applaud a Do-Nothing Congress.

Wingnut: "Hell, I'm glad they aren't doing anything. Every time they "do something" it costs me money. If they ain't doing anything, they ain't spending anything", and all that other worthless bullshit you so-called "conservatives" try to pass off as Rightwing 'wisdom'.

Unsurprisingly, you fail to understand my post.

You're tickled at the amount of support for America turning Communist.

Nevertheless, it's no surprise that a Statist who wants to be a subject, not a citizen, calls criticism of government "bullshit".

This low breaks records. Why fight simple data like this?

They cannot show Democrats anywhere near this low.

Its not a "Republican congress" you idiot.

Senate is controlled heavily by the Democrats.

They control a frozen Senate. Which means no control at all. The Repubs filibuster every bill that comes up.

So what do they control?

Low numbers are low numbers. Why do you try to sugar coat the dem's numbers when they were just a point or two better than what is now? Bad IS bad.

The Democrats numbers have never been close to 9%.

It's the American people waking up, thanks partly to Repubs overplaying their hand, and thanks partly to #OWS.

You can't show where the economy or the unemployment has been this bad for this long....of course the numbers are going to be bad. Doesn't make any difference who controls the Congress. Second time I've had to say that.

This proves a couple of things.


The republican congress is hated and that the LIE from the right about communists in this country is a bag of fucking lies

When the democrats controlled Congress they were hated, also, TM.
Please show a little clarity in this matter.

Which years?

And hated by whom - FOX viewers? I'm not taking a dig at FOX, just pointing out that their viewers already hate any Democratic anything. Are you speaking of a certain poll?

Yeah....22-25% approval rating is just nothing but love isn't it?????
I guess that's considered a good day?

Just like we have to start thinking that 9% unemployment is the norm.

The Gallup record shows that approval of Congress during her tenure, from 2007 through 2010, averaged a fairly meager 24%, including a record-low 13% approval rating in December 2010.

And when the dems had the Senate, Congress and the President, they did nothing with the jobs and the economy either.
And you still can't admit that the dems are part of this problem.

Please have a glass of orange Kool-Aid.

They were working on healthcare, because those costs are exploding, as we are seeing now, and as Obama predicted back in March 2009. Was that a mistake, instead of concentrating on the economy? Maybe. He had just passed a stimulus, and was prolly wanting to see how much effect it would have, while he pursued HC.

And we both remember that the Repubs were no more willing to work with him then than they are now. That was the Dawning Of The Teabaggers, and Repubs jumped all over that nonsense.

You can spin that until the cows come home, Synth. The most important issue of the day was to get people back to work and get the unemployment down. PERIOD!
You and SAT's messiah spent the time on healthcare that people didn't want.

What am I spinning? Didn't you read the very next line?

Was that a mistake, instead of concentrating on the economy? Maybe.
​

And I also said that he had just launched the stimulus, so he did work on the economy.

How did he know at the time that wingnuts wanted the economy to tank so that they could get power again?

When you have to resort to splitting hairs, it's time to just back away.
I can admit the the repubs are bad and the democrats are bad.
You have a hard time taking that next step out of the box, Synth.

Ummm....it doesn't say only the Democrats, or only the House, or only under Pelosi. The Senate is not under Pelosi.


And I would strongly suspect, since that 13% was in December 2010, that it was a backlash against TARP. And I would strongly believe that you would agree, if you're honest about it. EVERYONE was pissed about TARP.

Congress seems useless today to most people, they are about getting reelected and then finding a cushy job as a lobbyist. Since they write the rules and have a deep pocket client - all American tax monies - they care nada for what any of you think. And since so few vote this is the way it will stay. OWS is the result of this impasse.

"In the political turnover in the United States in the autumn of 1994, as previously indicated, those opposing aid to the poor in its several forms won their stunning victory with the support of less than one quarter all eligible voters, fewer than half of whom had gone to the polls. The popular and media response was that those who had prevailed represented the view and voice of the public. Had there been a full turnout at the election, both the result and the reaction would have been decidedly different. The sense of social responsibility for the poor would have been greatly enhanced." John Kenneth Galbraith 'The Good Society'

You and SAT's messiah spent the time on healthcare that people didn't want.

As Syn said, the stimulus bill addressed the economy. Health care is a huge concern for the public.

Unsurprisingly, you fail to understand my post.

Nevertheless, it's no surprise that a Statist who wants to be a subject, not a citizen, calls criticism of government "bullshit".

That is an insane reading of his comments. You cannot be serious.

The Healthcare Bill was not popular with the people....who are you trying to kid?
If the stimulus bill addressed the economy....why do we have an anemeic economy and unemployment over 9%? Not too mention a trillion in debt.

 

[Dragon]

Low ratings for the Republicans happen because they are pursuing an agenda that benefits the 1% against the 99%.

Low ratings for the Democrats happen for exactly the same reason.

There are no low ratings for liberal approaches to the economy. The Democrats suffer in the polls because they do not pursue these approaches.

Your choice in signature lines is telling -I'm one of those people who actually takes a look at those because it is very revealing about the individual's critical thinking skills and his ability (or lack thereof) to engage in discussions of substance or whether they are just another apologist demagogue. What do you really think your signature lines say about you?

You quote that heavy "thinker" Maher about why people think Gingrich is intelligent -as if his obviously partisan comment really IS the reason people have started to increase their support for Gingrich and why they insist the man is intelligent? Are you kidding? That actually works for you, huh? Because in case you really didn't know this, Maher's comment isn't funny, isn't biting political humor and in fact it is just a sad commentary about Maher's own lack of critical thinking skills too -so you must think it represents "truth" on some level. Oh wow Bill Maher said it so that makes it real to you or what? If that were actually true and based on some grain of truth and fact oh-you-too-are-another-real-"genius"-here - then Gingrich would not have had to spend these 9 or 10 debates getting his poll numbers up from the basement, would he? A lot of people rejected Gingrich out of hand right off the bat before he even opened his mouth, based on what they presumed they knew about him -and it has taken a long time to get people to re-evaluate their opinion of the man. So maybe it was for more than just using a couple of words. Or what is more likely when it comes to Maher -what Gingrich had to say couldn't be wrapped up in a 10 second sound bite and that meant it went right over Maher's head entirely. Gee, maybe people re-evaluated their opinion of Gingrich for reasons beyond Maher's ability to grasp. Reasons that are actually far more serious and deep than the non-existent evaluation voters gave Obama whose sole accomplishment before he was allowed to use the office of President as an entry level job -was ZILCH. Oh, yeah I forgot. He can read off that teleprompter like nobody's business, can't he. That kind of superficial skill is always top priority for a liberal. And let's not pretend the man had any other accomplishment to his name than this skill, ok?

Then you put a link to a comment from someone you must have ongoing issues with as if the fact she left words out of the sentence indicates something about her intelligence when in fact it is something everyone has done when they can't type as fast as they are thinking. I'm not defending anything that was said by her because I don't care enough to check out the what led to any squabble between you two -just pointing out that what you want to pretend is being "clever" -isn't nearly by half. It tells me you are petty and mean-spirited and that you cannot engage in a spirited debate or tolerate vigorous disagreement without taking it as a PERSONAL attack -and then respond by not just attacking the other person, but perpetuating it beyond the discussion at hand and continue personally attacking that person every time you post. And clearly are shallow enough to believe that represents something both intelligent and deep when in reality it only reveals the depth of some really unpleasant character traits you possess. See I don't give a flying fuck if you like or dislike me, I don't care if you agree with me or not and if you can't intelligently and rationally defend your opinions and can only engage in sound bites as if that represents "substance", then it is a waste of my time engaging in debate with someone like you.

I have no problem if people disagree with me -but I expect them to rely on substance and show a mature level of critical thinking skills which tends to be in very short supply among liberals and not spew back stupid sound bites as if that represents "wisdom". I have a bad habit of getting really insulting toward those who like to pretend demagoguery, spewing back political talking points from their handlers and silly sound bites represents "intelligent discussion". Your own signature lines told me all I needed to know about whether your posts are even worth reading at all -which is why I didn't bother to address a thing you said in even one of them.

You want to encourage others to think in superficial and empty sound bites rather than substance just because that is the best you can do? Misery not only loves company but so does the total lack of critical thinking skills, huh. Sorry, seek that company elsewhere -it is no big loss for either of us, huh. LOL

But I will point out the obvious here -because if you can't grasp it, others can. The overwhelming vast majority of Americans disapprove of the job Congress is doing -Congress isn't viewed as being "Republican" or "Democrat" but as GOVERNMENT. Those who think this portends something favorable for one party over the other, particularly favoring Democrats over Republicans when they control half of Congress and the Presidency and are therefore the bulk of power in government -are mistaken.

I am among that overwhelming majority who strongly disapprove of the job Congress is doing and I am a conservative. I STRONGLY disapprove of the job Congress is doing -not sort of disapprove, but STRONGLY disapprove. I will continue to STRONGLY disapprove of the job Congress is doing until the members of Congress get it through their heads they are not little dictators sent to Washington to ram unwanted laws down our throats against our will. Until they get it through their heads they were NOT sent there to spend our nation into bankruptcy and then try to figure out how to part us from ever more of our own hard earned money so they can keep up the out of control spending spree -and until they get it through their heads that simply getting elected did NOT turn them into experts who can suddenly do everything better than those who actually do it for a living. Politicians are on the same level as used car salesmen but without their finesse. Politicians are for the most part lawyers, a group that is massively over-represented in this country and whose real purpose is to fuck up everyone's life in order to justify their massive and useless numbers -lawyer politicians in particular are THE one group that has done more damage to this nation than any other while trying to deceive the rest of us that only lawyers can run government which is complete bullshit. If I could pass just one Constitutional amendment it would be to limit the number of lawyers that can serve in government at any given time.

So trying to read the tea leaves of any poll that merely shows the overwhelming vast majority of Americans disapprove of the job Congress is doing without bothering to find out exactly what it is they are disapproving -is going to result in a lot of wrong assumptions, isn't it?
