IRS And Communism Now More Popular Than Current Republican Congress
CBS recently released the http://m.cbsnews.com/storysynopsis.rbml?feed_id=3&catid=&videofeed=39">approval rating of Congress and the Republican strangled Congress hit a new low in popularity. The number of Americans who like Congress is now at 9%. The 112th Congress has been noted for being a ‘do nothing’ legislative body. The GOP has vowed to block anything and everything that would bolster the ailing economy because they want President Obama to fail. What have they passed so far you ask? Well, the Republicans have spent their time passing anti-women bills, bills against birth control and contraceptives, anti-abortion bills, bills declaring pizza a vegetable, bills re-affirming ‘In God We Trust,’ as the national motto, anti-tax bills, anti-environmental bills, and the list goes on. The http://www.prisonplanet.com/congress-less-popular-than-communism-bp-during-spill-nixon-during-watergate-or-king-george-during-american-revolution.html">Washington Post released this dandy chart showing approval ratings compared to this Congress. But the interesting thing about the approval rating chart is how many things were more popular than the gun-toting, Bible thumping, capitalism obsessed GOP Congress. And the answers will surprise you.

1. The low approval rating is a small matter when it is time to vote. Historically, there
is about a 90% retention rate, so the incumbents are not all that concerned about an approval rating. They know that 'we the people' vote for "the name you know."

2. lolz
Greatest headline ever. And it should be a real headline in every paper in America. Seems the only things less popular are herpes and cancer.

5. I'm surprised that us commies even made it to 11%
That's pretty damn good considering what a century of capitalist propaganda and Stalinism did to us. :)
