Personally I think the ELEVEN PERCENT approval rating of Congress speaks louder.

I think, when you combine that with the re-election rate, you can only come to one conclusion.

We, as Americans, don't like what we have and don't see a REAL or VIABLE alternative.

Mind you, that's my theory.

...and just out of curiosity, what was this "first time in a hundred years" stuff? It's not like MA never had a GOP senator. Senator Burke in the 1970s was a Republican.
