1 The Americam people should wake up to the absolute damage that is being done to the country. Senators such as Leahy, Schumer, Kennedy & Feinstein havd only regard for their future control of Congress. What is their response to the murder, sexual assault and arson to the doctor's family in Conn. They now oppose the shielding of persons from civil penalties who turn suspicious behavior (such as the "flying imams' on US Airways) as a favor to their tort lawyers who pay their campaign bills. Wake UP AMERICA!!

2 I'm not certain I understand the context for this cartoon. What poll did those numbers come from, please?

3 Jeff, unfortunately, most Americans simply do not care -- about America or freedom.

Vlees, I didn't write the cartoon, so I'm not positive, but I have read polls that show Congress' approval rating is actually lower than president Bush's.

4 Here's a USA today article that mentions Congress' 11% rating:

5 Well Ogre, since someone questioned your numbers I looked up the gallup polling numbers for June 22, 2007. They were: those who had confidence in Congress-14%, those who had confidence in the president 25%. Overall support for Congress 25%, President Bush 26%.

6 Thanks, I knew they were out there, I just couldn't remember which days!

7 What's missing from this cartoon is the fact that Congress's approval rating rose from 16% in October, 2006 to 23% in April, 2007 -- an improvement of 7% since control of Congress changed hands ...

But be honest for a second -- probably everyone in America is pissed off about the Occupation of Iraq although the reasons for their anger could be as different as day and night.

It is unreasonable to expect good grades when everyone is dis-satisfied with American foreign policy (albeit for different reasons).

But it is worth noting that one rating is trending up while the other is sinking faster than his term is running out the clock ...

8 The point of the cartoon was to point out that the Democrats are trying to complain that Bush's approval rating is low while their own is even lower. It's that whole idea that people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
