"A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal polls finds that in addition to setting new milestones for futility, Congress is also more hated than it's ever been. A full 83 percent of respondents say they disapprove of the job Congress is doing, the highest number for that questions since the poll began.

Like Keystone Cops who come in and arrest the hero rather than the villain, this poll shows the detachment disorder most Americans seem to suffer from.
Unlike most, I do not believe the blame is so equally sharable between the two parties. One party, the dems, are without question the party of special interests, representing only the concerns of minorities, the fool's gold man made utopias of failed socialism past, junk environmental science that has very nearly shipwrecked the American energy industry, and morally stigmatic social behaviors. The other party, the republicans, is trying to stay true to the traditional core values that without argument were the face of America until the liberals came in and started what Barack Obama calls, "fundamental transformation". Thus the "common good" has become a passé footstone for the interests of those that are selfish and who live only for today.
The dems want to change everything, every facet of the greatest society ever known. The republicans are saying, "whoa, not so fast here". And for their more considered approach to fixing that which is not broken, that shinning alabaster city on a hill, the envy of the world, they have been accosted by this nuclear political food fight at the hand of their power hungry democratic counterparts. So great is the frenzied hail storm of false accusations and blame, the "people's perspective" has gotten lost in the fray.
Folks, it takes the two sides/parties to keep things straight. This is the integral requisite for our system of checks and balances to function. We cannot allow one side, the dems in this case, to castigate the other. Like in the case of the human body, the dominate side needs the off side to maintain balance. Though the right handed pitcher delivers the ball with his right arm, the pitch wouldn't come anywhere near the strike zone without the balance the left arm provides. We cannot continue to allow the dems to demonize the republicans if we want to remain free.
When I see these polls coming out that shows such contempt for those in our government who really are trying to protect the US citizenry, I wonder if we have already fallen and just have not heard the thud yet. Really, it looks to me like most people just want the republicans to give in and go with the whims of the democrats. The reason for this apathy is that things have gone so easy for so long in this land, nobody really gives a tinker's 'darn it', what happens. They don't know the ravages of famine and need, or the threat of being overrun by an enemy from without. I believe that day is coming, with a non-existent southern border to the south and, with society and the US Congress fighting over whether it's right for two men to get married, I believe it will be soon.

But "We The People" re-elected the majority of them. Mind boggling.

It is. Especially when one considers that somewhere around 70 million baby boomers are alive and well (at least relatively) today. Obama beat Romney by 5 million votes 65M to 60M. Boomers have a tendency to be naïve when it comes to vetting candidates. They just cannot feature the possibility that every candidate would not love America in the same way they do.
70 million voters is an unimaginably vast voting block, and should hold the power of government in their hands. Instead, they sort of soldier on with their grandparents view of politics and are therefore easily led around. If they could ever understand that the democrats have been completely taken over by liberals, maybe then they would come to the polls in force. Somehow they need to get the message, every thing is not okay.
