On Being Useless

Lets hear it for that vacuous waste of space known as the Republican controlled congress. In another pointless, political bill, the House of Representatives just passed a nonbinding resolution which declares, "that the United States will prevail in the Global War on Terror," and effectively endorses President Bush's Iraq policy. The Bill forced Democrats, who oppose Bush's disastrous policies, to vote against "defeating terrorism" or support President Bush.

This Bill does nothing to rectify the long list of problems facing our country, cleaning up the corruption in Washington and exemplifies the uselessness of the current Congress. The American public is not impressed.

Lets look at the polls:

AP-Ipsos reported on the 7th of June, 2006, that 73% of those sampled DISAPPROVE of the way Congress is handling its job.

A CBS Poll from April 2006 says that 67% of those sampled believe Congress is accomplishing less than it normally does.

I won't pretend that the Democrats in the house are all saints, but lets at least punish the controlling party; if we don't hold our politicians accountable, there's nothing to stop this from continuing. I, for one, have had enough.
