Which do the American people prefer, cockroaches or Congressmen? The
answer won’t surprise you…In a new PPP survey, Congress garnered just
a 9 percent favorable rating. That means Americans rank Congress lower
than root canals, head lice, colonscopies, used car salesmen, traffic
jams or cockroaches. Then again, Congress does combine some of the
worst elements of used car salesmen, traffic jams and cockroaches. On
the bright side, Congress is still marginally more popular than John
Edwards, Lindsay Lohan, the Kardashians, communism, bullies, and the
ebola virus. It’s an amusing poll, but there’s a sobering side. When
citizens become so contemptuous and distrustful of their leaders, they
become disengaged from politics. That leads to less and less
responsive government. Why is all the animosity focused on Congress?
Probably because it’s evenly divided politically, which gives each
side someone to blame for all the problems. Maybe Congress has such
low approval because half of us hate them for not compromising. The
other half hate them when they do.
