Just sayin'

Nearly three-quarters of Americans (73%) – including 77% of Republicans, 78% of independents and 66% of Democrats – say Congress is doing only a fair or poor job dealing with Iraq. Just 22% say Congress has done an excellent (3%) or good job (19%) in this regard.
For Democrats, much of this frustration is linked to the sense that Congress has too little influence on Iraq policy, and has not aggressively challenged President Bush's approach. Most Democrats (56%) believe that . . . Democratic leaders in Congress have not gone far enough in challenging George W. Bush's policies.
Many independents share these criticisms – a plurality (41%) says that Democratic leaders in Congress are not going far enough in challenging Bush's Iraq policies. . . .

(Emphasis supplied.) That's a lot of purity trolls.

Well, at least they got the math right (5.00 / 3) (#2)

and didn't count Loserman as a Dem, in stating the Rethugs expectation of stripping the nubs passing for teeth from the spending bill.

Seems to me that the problem is in the house (5.00 / 3) (#3)

and that Reid is a much better strategist than Pelosi.

Of course (5.00 / 4) (#4)

The line had to be held in the House.

Reid is completely screwed now.

But watch the Pelosi cheerleaders KILL Reid.

It would be funny if it was not so stupid.

he somehow managed to convince everyone that the gang of 14 "compromise" was a success. What if he comes out in public an rebukes Pelosi (e.g. "this isn't going to work, we'll have to go month by month")?

How long do you think it would take me now for Markos to delete my comments?

won't delete your comments. They might be TRed, but they won't be deleted by Markos.

But you were joking I think.

I've never been called "holier than thou" before. Heh. I guess it's either a badge of honor, or a attempt at marginalizing. If the second does that mean that people who want this occupation ended are too far left for Kos, now?

Maybe it's both? ;-)

Here's an interesting way to look at it (5.00 / 2) (#9)

Lets say you polled every single district in America separately, do you think your representative is doing a good job? If you aggregated all those approval ratings, and then calculated an average, my guess is you'd come up a number over 50%.

But when you ask people to grade congress, they say Congress sucks.

Well. It's true. Congress sucks.

If that isn't an interesting way to look at it, I don't know what is.

If the polls don't already, time will show the wiser.
