Congress sucks!

A new Reuters/Zogby poll shows that a paltry 11 percent of Americans view Congress positively, beating the previous low of 14 percent in July.

So long as Congressional leaders keep pulling stunts like this ...

"As noted in the Washington Times, there are several pieces of legislation (in the form of amendments to other bills) that, if passed, would grant amensty to millions of people currently in the U.S. illegally. It is quite apparent from these actions that the Senate does not listen to the voices of grassroots Americans. ...

"First is an effort by Illinois Democrat Richard Durbin to grant amnesty to illegal alien students under his 'Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act.' This bill would 'grant legal status to illegal aliens who arrived here before the age of 16, have lived here at least five years, graduated high school and finished at least two years of college or military service.'

"Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) noted in Congressional Quarterly that the so-called 'DREAM' act "would allow states to provide college benefits to illegal immigrants" and that the measure could benefit '1.3 million illegal immigrants.'"

... it won't be too awful long before Congress' approval rating falls to within the margin of error.
