Bush's Support on Major Issues Tumbles in Poll By ROBIN TONER and MARJORIE CONNELLY Published: June 17, 2005
Increasingly pessimistic about Iraq and skeptical about President Bush's plan for Social Security, Americans are in a season of political discontent, giving Mr. Bush one of the lowest approval ratings of his presidency and even lower marks to Congress, according to the New York Times/CBS News Poll. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/17/politics/17poll.html -------------------------- That's not to say the Democrats would do any better but I think what we're seeing is the failure of our gov't to accurately and effectively represent the people. I think that's due to the lobbyists and money that are involved these days: Congress represents special interests first and the people second - this goes for the President too. Put another way, I don't think this is an us vs. them problem, it's a system problem. Our recruiting system favors those who know to work special interests no matter the party. Consequently they suck at government. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:161136 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
