Glenn --<br><br>If you look at the approval ratings, you'll find that Democrats have lower rates of approval than Republicans. That (along with the election of more Democrats) indicates diapproval of Congress's failure to hold back the Bush administration's policies. <br>
<br>Also, Glenn -- I've noticed that you and NW tend to agree with each other a lot? Why is that?<br><br>-- ACS<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Nov 6, 2008 at 11:20 AM, Glenn Schwaller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vpschwaller@gmail.com">vpschwaller@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

for awhile: Everyone's Rights Will Be (and are now) at Risk. But not<br>
to belabor that point.<br>
<br>
My question is, given that the current approval rating for a<br>
DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY (and even a greater majority now) congress is<br>
abysmal, how is simply electing a democratic president going to change<br>
the public perception of congress? And why is their approval rating<br>
at it's lowest point in history to begin with?? I mean, YOU guys put<br>
THOSE guys in there - and you're not happy about what they have done?<br>
<br>
I am indeed confused.<br>
