Congress frets as approval ratings plummet (Updated)

According to a piece at Yahoo! News, Congress' approval rating has reached a new low of 12%. 12%? How could it possibly be that high?

Those 12 per centers must make up the deaf, dumb and blind constituency.

Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R) whined,

"Not only does Congress have an approval rating below bubonic plague and head lice, I saw a recent poll that as many as 40 percent of people still believe that Congress is in Republican hands, I wish we could get a little accuracy out there about who is in charge – and let those ratings fall where they may."

Congressman, if the republicans would collectively do battle with the NO DRILL DEMS and boldly expose the destructive agenda of the leftists, maybe Americans would take notice of you and your "go along to get along party."

Do something besides whine about how stupid we are for not noticing that the republicans are in the minority.

The only ones visably engaging the leftists are people like Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and others in Talk Radio and the Blogosphere...and, by the way, what are you doing about those on the left who wish to silence them via the so-called "Fairness Doctrine ?"

Congress should be grateful for that 12%. It's not going to get any higher until they begin to employ some common sense starting here and now to ensure energy independence by drilling now wherever there's oil. They could start by allowing exploration in ANWR and simultaneously off our coastlines.

UPDATE: THIS JUST IN...According to Rasmussen Reports™ the approval rate is now at 9%! It looks to me like more of the deaf, dumb and blind constituency is beginning to see the light.
