Why You, I Oughta!
"The Angriest Electorate in Decades"

That's a headline today on Politico.com (link below). What was that again, Obama & The Dems? Something about everything being rosey in November "now that health care has passed." I would accuse you of being delusional, but in this instance I don't think even you folks believe those words as they come out of your own mouths. Excerpt from Politico's story:

"The upcoming midterm elections will feature the angriest electorate in at least two decades, according to a new Gallup Poll, an ominous sign for the Democratic Party as it attempts to retain control of Congress. The poll shows that only 49 percent of voters would vote to reelect their own member of Congress, with 40 percent saying they don’t deserve to be reelected. Those are the worst numbers for incumbents in the 18 years that Gallup has asked that question including the period prior to the historic 1994 Republican sweep, and the 2006 midterms when Democrats regained control of Congress . . . A whopping 65 percent of respondents also said that most members of Congress, in general, don’t deserve to be reelected — by far the highest number in the last 18 years. The previous high was 58 percent in March 1992."
