LA Times Poll: Congress Now Less Popular Than Zombies, IRS, Hemmorhoids, Witches

[Initech]

At this point, the polls are pretty consistent: Americans are angry about the budget and shutdown shenanigans in Washington, but they’re angrier at Republicans than they are at Democrats. Which should tell you something about who is really to blame for this mess.

But Public Policy Polling took things a step further, asking people whether they preferred Congress to a series of ailments, celebrities, serial killers and oft-loathed government agencies. Here's what the polling group found:

Americans currently have a higher opinion of witches (46/32), jury duty (73/18) and hemorrhoids (53/31) than Congress. Republicans seem much more accepting of Congress over hemorrhoids compared to other voters -- 41% favored Congress more than the diseases, as opposed to only 25% of Democrats and 27% of Independents.

1. Witches?

Why da fuck are witches unpopular?

[texanwitch]

2. Yeah.

Most people don't even know what a witch is.

Why zombies, they can't help themselves.

4. "Why zombies, they can't help themselves."

Neither can Tea Partiers, but at least zombies are looking for brains.

5. Zombies are trying.

The tea party people are a beyond help.

I know.

Give me a zombie in congress anyday.

6. Zombies may be trying,

but Tea Partiers are extremely trying.

9. I worked early voting and we dealt with several tea party assholes as pole watchers.

I can't tell you just how stupid they were.

One was getting SSI for two of her kids but didn't like the government.

You could not get her to understand the SSI came from the government.

The check somehow came by magic.

I rather deal with a zombie.

3. Jury duty at least has a purpose, but...

let me be the first to note hemorrhoids have met their match as a pain in the ass.

[Boomerproud]

7. How about shingles and pink eye?

Of course, Congress is more unpopular than anything at the moment.
