Catch a Wave!

September 28, 2017 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

CNN says their polling shows that

Asked whether “most members of Congress” deserve re-election, just 22% of Americans say they do while 68% think they don’t. Among registered voters, only 20% want most members re-elected while 70% would rather the majority of members not return to Congress.
What’s even more striking is how low those “yes, deserves re-election” numbers are among Republicans and self-identified conservatives who, presumably, should be pleased with the Republican majorities in Congress.

Now, of course, those numbers skew when asked about their own personal congressman.  People tend to hate congress but like their congressman. However, these numbers are the lowest ever recorded, going all the way back to 1991.

There is other good news for sane people.

Inside Elections, a non-partisan political handicapping site, lists 48 Republican held-seats in jeopardy as compared to just 14 Democratic seats. In addition, there are 23 Republicans who hold seats that Hillary Clinton carried over Donald Trump in 2016.

So, here’s what I want to say to you.  The last Republican sweep brought in a mess of crazy people.  That’s where we got the likes of Blake Farenthold. So, for the love of all things holy, find some good Democrats to run.

Be social and share!

  1. Shucks, JJ. I would do it myself but my kids would immediately put me some place where I am watched carefully.

  2. Well said. I happen to be blessed with a Democratic Congress critter who gen halls are so well attended he must hold some in outdoor venues. He also hold teleconferences. If every Congress critter were so open and accessible we wouldn’t have these problems. Of course Congress would be blue. So I’m supporting all dems I can. While not perfect (no c critter is) everyone deserves what I have or better. So,people get the vote out! It has now come out that Russia & Wikileaks spun huge amounts of fake news and fake adds in key states so traitor trump would prevail (didn’t win). So these traitors must be stopped before they do it again and we lose our freedoms.

  3. I think most of the 2018 congress will be reelected rePUKEian aholes, but then I’m an optimist so it may be even worse!

  4. Kind of reminds me of former Indiana coach Bobby Knight. Those Hoosiers knew he was a jerk, “but he’s our jerk,”

  5. Well, we’ve got Steny Hoyer, and he’s there for as long as he wants to be there. This is a blue district, and what Dem voter would want to give up the seniority that Hoyer’s got?

  6. What an incoherent, hot mess we are.
    Congress has an 11% approval rating, yet 95% of congressmen get re-elected. We hate Congress, but our member is OK.
    Hey America, please get a clue.
