Could it be that people are fed up because they know both parties control everything?

Hedge funds, companies, brokers etc. (Whole Foods CEO was doing this and found some troulbe for his efforts) also monitor message boards and post "corrections" so it's fairly common. Amazing the government bothers to do this and a little unsettling.

I bet if you polled most Americans that doesn't even come top 10.

Democrats are pissed due to non action on Iraq, Republicans are pissed because Democrats are in charge and Republicans are handing them 10 more seats minimum and Independents are pissed because of the gridlock.

[/ QUOTE ]

I LOOOOVE gridlock. Nothing pleases more than Congressmen interrogating fall guys and passing non-binding resolutions than actively [censored] up the economy.

As well as $88 a barell oil due to inaction regarding drilling more offshore and in ANWR; continued roadblocks to increasing refining capacity in the USA; maintaining tariffs on imported ethanol. Also tax hikes after sunset provisions to existing laws expire. Social security time bomb still ticking. Mostly good from inaction but some bad too.

11% approval rating for congress. WoW.

[/ QUOTE ]Jesus. [Who] are [the] 11% idiots who think they are doing a good job?

[/ QUOTE ]

Members of Congress, their family, staffers, and patrons and cronies.

[/ QUOTE ]
And me. Pelosi 4 Speaker. I'm not sure if I qualify as a patron or crony.

I think the word you're looking for is "sycophant" or "apparatchik". [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
