Congress' approval rating is 18%. I'd like to see 100% turnover, ideally.

They need to blur the line even more. That'll work.

If Obama wins, I'd like to see a Republican Congress. If McCain wins, I'm hoping the Dems keep control.

I totally understand the frustration, and Nancy Pelosi isn't exactly the best communicator to a lot of people (and I think Harry Reid should be replaced honestly), but I often wonder if they even take into account what I said above. I have a feeling that they do not when Gallup calls them up. |

Worse Congress in U.S. history.
Every damn one of them should be kicked out - which happened to the House here in Pennsylvania two years ago, basically. |

This Congress has done less.

Well, when you consider the history of the 109th (i.e. what its key players did in previous terms), it is fair to say less is more. You can argue that the Democrats are being ineffective, but at least they aren't nearly as corrupt. I'd imagine they spent the first year just cleaning Tom DeLay's vile off the walls, holy shit.

It's the leadership in the Democratic party. There were some truly remarkable young, new Democrats elected this last go around but the party will never go anywhere with people like Reid and Pelosi in power.

Reid especially needs to go.
Hillary should be trying to get his job. |
