What, you're so dense & stupid you can't figure that out?
I see that Eric Cantor & Cry Baby Boner are doing well in the polls.

Congress’ approval at 9 percent, poll says Share

Just 9 percent of Americans approve of the job Congress is doing, with a whopping 84 percent giving thumbs down to lawmakers’ performance, according to a new CBS News/New York Times poll.

The survey found approval for the Occupy Wall Street movement substantially greater than that of Congress.

Forty-three percent of those surveyed approve goals of the Occupy movement, 27 percent disapprove with 30 percent undecided or having no opinion.

“The approval rating for (President) Obama, 46 percent, appears to be elevated by positions he has taken on foreign affairs,” the Times reported.

“Sixty percent of those questioned said they approve of his handling of Iraq, a question added to the poll following his announcement last Friday that American troops would come home by the end of the year.”

The president’s disapproval rating also stands at 46 percent.

Income disparity has come to the fore as an issue as nearly half (49 percent) of Americans believe the economy is at a standstill and more than a third (36 percent) saying it is deteriorating.

Nearly three out of four Americans have no confidence that Congress will be able to agree on a plan to create jobs, the poll found.

The CBS/NYT poll was released on the same day as a new Congressional Budget Office study which found that income distribution in America has grown much more uneven since 1980.

In the poll, two-thirds of those surveyed felt that wealth should be distributed more evenly in America. “Seven in 10 Americans think the policies of congressional Republicans favor the rich,” the Times reported. “Two-thirds object to tax cuts for corporations and a similar number prefer increasing income taxes on millionaires.”
The poll has Republican primary voters favoring Herman Cain by a 25-21 percent margin over Mitt Romney, with Texas Gov. Rick Perry fading to just 6 percent

Tea Party Sparks More Antipathy Than Passion

Overall support for Tea Party movement is now 25%, a new low[/size]
by Lydia Saad

PRINCETON, NJ -- More Americans consider themselves strong opponents of the Tea Party movement than strong supporters, by 20% to 14%, and the ratio is a similar 22% to 15% among registered voters. When factoring in those who support or oppose the movement but not strongly, the opposing groups are more evenly matched, with 25% of Americans in total classified as Tea Party supporters and 28% as opponents. About 4 in 10 Americans as well as registered voters say they neither support nor oppose the Tea Party.

And those are...?

actually you left out one part

what edge FAILS to understand is that the citizens of this country are pissed off at CONGRESS for the two very distinct reasons.

Why are YOU upset with congress edge?


why do insists on playing these childish ''no you first'' games?

He has no interest in discussion, debate, or answering any questions. Insane, Angry Ed is here for one reason and one reason only...to tell you and every conservative here just how much he detests you..in as many ways as he can say it. It's that simple. I'm sure though, that what is supposed to be cathartic for him, only makes him more angry and miserable. I like that.

Edge is an obamabot.

I don't know about that tiger. Obama is a Democrat so he gets Eds vote, period. My guess is that in his life off this board, edge is a pretty bigoted guy. He chooses to live in a lily-white area and probably wouldn't associate with, or piss on the better part of a minority if his life depended on it. He's a close-minded Democratic Party robot who wouldn't know where to begin to find the "R" button on a voting machine.

Record-Breaking Republican Obstructionism
