The Pissed Off Tree Rat

    I find it fascinating how congress is rallying around the burning effigy of Bush this year.  What a consumer of souls he must be.  Hmmmm can we say “misdirection”?

  Misdirection is a form of deception in which the attention of an audience is focused on one thing in order to distract its attention from another.  

     Bush is unarguably very unpopular today with a 29% approval rating.  The land sharks in Congress are in a feeding frenzy to tear him up with that.  Clinton and Obama are working that dissatisfaction into votes.  But there’s more blood in the water as well.  Congress has an even more pathetic approval rating of only 18%.  According to that 11% of the population thinks Bush doesn’t suck quite as bad as Congress.  What will the DNC controlled House and Senate do when Bush is gone?  They’re going to lose their best defense.  The deflected criticism will be coming right back to them.  I wonder if some of them secretly hope that McCain gets elected to save their own asses.  It would be very convenient for fault to be continually laid at the Republican Presidential feet vs. admitting the abject Congressional failures in doing anything at all in the areas of immigration, inflation, energy costs, boarder security, health care, social security reform, national defense, deficits, bothering to turn in a budget on time (which is actually the one and only thing that congress must do each year) or even cutting pork spending a fraction.  

     When the smoke clears for this election it will be time to clean these jokers out one election at a time.  We’re not quite as stupid as they think.  There is a bunch of finger pointing congressional jack asses that will be fed to the very same sharks during their next elections.  I know what my state’s monkeys have been doing, and saying, up on the Hill and I will spend my money and time to remind them what I think.
