Rico Writes: Poll numbers NOT in the news...

The "media" still feels that 'tingle running up their collective legs' and would have us believe that Obama (aka Fearless Leader, aka Big Brother...well you get the idea) still basks in the glow of 110% popular support, along with the party known to some of us as DemSoc.

Not exactly.

The recent (yesterday?) Rasmussen Poll indicates that 77% of Americans feel that Government DOES NOT do the will of the people. The breakdown:
- 63% agree it does not
- 14% aren't sure
- 23% disagree, thinking gooberment 'cares' and is responsive to the people

This might explain the popularity of having "Tea Parties"...but does not explain WHY voters keep electing these people instead of jailing them, or better yet hanging them from trees.

I guess we'll have a clearer idea of where things stand by tax day (April 15th) when the teabags are scheduled to land in Washington.

- As the late great Frank Zappa said: "There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life." To which I might add: "It's concentrated in government, and those who have more faith in government than themselves." [I said that]
