« Joe Klein compares Glen Greenwald to Rush Limbaugh | truthseeker77's Blog | Liberal columnist to Obama: Follow Bob Dole's advice »
Republicans in Congress have a 12% job approval. Republicans in Congress have a 12% job approval. Republicans in Congress have a 12% job approval
Repeat it incessantly, because the media won't say it once.
Today Ben Smith and Jake Tapper, among others, note that Obama's approval has plummeted to (gasp!) around 50%.
But why are we not being told that the alternative -- that is, Republicans in congress --have a 12% approval, according to a Harris Poll released today? Yes, Democrats have a Pyhrric 21%, but that's almost twice as high.
The people have the right to know how much Republicans suck.
Why does the media pretend that Republicans don't exist? Why won't they say that barely anybody is satisfied with their work? Who knows?
Bottom line: When a Republican or mainstream pundit brings up Obama's numbers, you reply: Republicans in Congress have a 12% job approval.

I feel the need to make my own independent statement about this.
"The approval rating of Republicans in Congress is 12%."
There.

Taking the Democratic numbers together with the Republican numbers looks to me like a strong case for creating some new political parties.

Term limits...in 2010....replace blue dogs and repubs against true reform!
but we need to have sharp talking points---using the words that will get reactions--not lengthy explanations that cause people to turn off.
A trigger would give Insurances Cos FREE REIN FOR 3 YEARS!
A trigger would NOT CONTROL COSTS!
A trigger would NOT PROVIDE COMPETITION Till the Companies are proved to be abusive in court!
A trigger is a financial windfall to the Insurance Co's, Hmo's and Big Pharma! 46 million new custumors and NO negotiations on drugs!
A trigger is the republican DO NOTHING SOLUTION!
A trigger is a copout by Blue Dogs and repubs to their Corporate donors!
In order for it to count, you must be carrying a football to the finish line NOT A TENNIS BALL--Mr. Axelrod!

Republicans in Congress have a 12% approval rating.
Whhhheeeeeeee. That will never get old.
It also means that whether or not the media will talk about it, the country has come to the independent conclusion that Republicans in Congress suck ass. Maybe our education system isn't failing us after all.

Republicans in Congress have a 12% approval rating. Democrats in Congress have the majority.
Yet 57% of Americans would vote to replace entire Congress. Hmmmm. I guess that means the Democrats suck big time too.

Overly complicated. Republicans 12%.
But if you must muddy the waters, go with: Democrats suck 74% less than Republicans.
