Which means, their approval rating is at 13 percent.
This is according to the most recent Gallup poll published today.
What’s more, since October, the approval rating for Democrats went from 38 to 16 percent.
Down by half.
Merry Christmas, dolts. We now have the worst Congress on record, so far.
And the year isn’t even over yet.

Tomorrow. Wednesday. The Ides of December.
This is the funding for the monstrosity known as Obamacare. It is ladeen with Pork, aka earmarks (as I heard on the Sean Hannity raadio show this day around 4 to 5pm). I agree with Don Surber’s post about Boehner’s call to the POTUS to veto it.
Crank up the phone lines, folks, this is the flip the Congress is giving us for Christmas because of our rising interest and activism in our Republic Government.
It is no coincidence that this is coming on the heels of Federal Judge Henry Hudson’s ruling about individuals having to purchase insurance (when the Commerce Clause in the US Constitution does not, and never did, claim regulating commerce extends beyond the state level).
Congress wants to send us a message? Well, pick up the phone and send them one also.
Other sites on this issue:
Michelle Malkin, Hot Air, Gateway Pundit
Hot Air shows an update that indicates the earmark count is now near 6,500 earmarks in all totaling $8.3 billion in all, at least.
When the POTUS first bragged about Congress passing the Healthcare (Obamacare) bill, he expressed happiness that they “included no earmarks.” Okay, POTUS, now is the time to express your dissatisfaction by breaking out the veto pen from its mothball status.
From Michelle Malkin’s article:
One commenter, who picked a page at random (877), found that the bill has designated $350 million to create a new “San Francisco Bay Restoration Program.” Others have noted that $413,000 have been appropriated for peanut research in the deep South and nearly $250,000 for virus free wine grapes in Washington State…
Remember this?

But now that Federal Judge Hudson has ruled parts of Obamacare unconstitutional, it will have to be heard through an appellate court before, and if, getting on the SCOTUS docket.
In the meantime, here’s a healthy read from Hot Air on the subject, replete with updates (up to five about now).
UPDATE: Apparently, the White House Blog is now trying to equate healthcare insurance with auto insurance. Okay, who’s going to be the first to tell them that the auto insurance requirement is a state responsibility and not the feds?
Heh. How Appealing. Indeed.
And, The Heritage Foundation weighs in. I like it.
UPDATEx2: And maybe the thought of 74% of doctors leaving their practice should pick up the pace of SCOTUS looking at this issue much, much sooner. Ya think?

A couple stories from REDSTATE:
Armageddon: What Democrats Are Hiding & Why They Are Really Scared
“When asked for clarification, the person explained about the accounting rules developed to shore up underfunded union pensions and the dates when those union companies affected would have to assume their liabilities had the DC crowd (in particular, the Democrats and the unions) in a panic.”
Senate Republicans May Not Try to Repeal Obamacare
“In the past several weeks, there have been several closed door, off the record meetings of high dollar donors getting briefings from various elected officials, including several Senators. In each case the donors have been “reassured” by the Senators present that they have no intention of repealing Obamacare, just restructuring it.”

Well, good luck American taxpayers. Looks like reform, for everybody, isn’t for everybody at all. But the rest of us get to pay for this monstrosity, if and only if – this doesn’t get defunded first.
Truer words were never spoken, but for Michelle Malkin who is always on the ball.
It isn’t just the leaked, squeaky wheel of McDonald’s on again/off again healthcare situation getting favored waivers. Oh no, it’s other companies too.
So, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, tell us – who’s next?
Remember November, folks. 26 days left.
UPDATE: WH have issued waivers in the last several weeks as part of a broader strategic effort to stave off threats by some health insurers to abandon markets, drop out of the business altogether or refuse to sell certain policies.

So he would have us to believe – to talk about provisions of the new law that will take effect on Thursday, six months after it became law, and highlight his argument that healthcare reform will help control the U.S. budget deficit.
Yes, but not about the provisions we couldn’t know about until the unread bill was voted then signed into law.
Such as the funded abortions (by us) to be performed in other countries? How about the 1099 forms businesses have to file for every single purchase between them and other businesses? There has to be more in there we have yet to hear about.
Right? How is the (yet to be hired) 16,000 IRS new hires (to enforce the healthcare payments by individuals) going to control the budget deficit?

Hello, REDACTED
I don’t do form letters.
Bottom line for me is that this legislation should be totally repealed.
It asks, and sets up, way too much for every one of us, even if we do have health coverage through our employer.
I am quite sure you remember this all started over 47 million people estimated to not have any such coverage.
Then, after a lot of squabble over this including illegal aliens, that number dropped to 30 million.
But Congress decided, in their back rooms, to develop a 2,700+ page bill that would change everything for the entire country.
Just because of 10 percent of our population “needing” coverage.
Never mind the fact that, buried in that bill, was a tyrannical approach demanding that we (if we didn’t/don’t have coverage) would have to pay a fine and or serve jail time if we fail to purchase a product the federal government says we absolutely must have.
This the first time in the history of our country that the federal government placed such a demand on its entire population.
I don’t know about you, but I do not serve a King in this United States. And I will not.
Speaker Pelosi insulted our intelligence by telling us we had to pass the bill to find out what is in it.
This is not how Congress is supposed to do business.
And that – is why I am in this race. To replace a Democrat rubber stamp that serves no purpose other than to bend the will of The People to her (their) way of thinking.
I won’t stand for it any longer. I am through complaining to the television and radio.
Thank you for asking.
Sincerely,
Daniel McAndrew
Thuggery. Not the term I would use. How about – lies, criminal, falsehoods, threats?
And trampling on First Amendment rights. To say the very, very least.
All about Obamacare, er, Healthscare. I mean, healthcare.
Gangsters? Chicago comes to mind. I wonder why. (not)
