Poll Shows Voter Disapproval of Congress Hasn't Been This High Since '94

A new Washington Post/ABC News poll has voter disapproval of Congress at 72%, a figure which hasn't been reached since the week before the 1994 election. It's hard for me to remember what had people so upset in '94, as I was in high school, but it's painfully obvious at this juncture - the shoving through of the original pork-filled health care legislation that voters repeatedly begged Congress to scrap. If history repeats itself and those numbers remain high, Republicans are likely in for a hell of an election in November. And actually, many are in for a neat preview of November over Easter recess as their angry constituents pay them visits. Of course, they'll only claim that those voicing their concerns are racist, low-income-family-hating, Swastika-tatooed, gun-wielding, Neanderthals that are insecure about the fact that the non-Hispanic Caucasion population is declining because just like in '64, dissent with this legislation is about racism, not disapproval with pork-belly politics, higher deficits and worsened health care. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/28/opinion/28rich.html Except, hmmmmmmmmm, the poll seems to suggest otherwise, and the media understands this, which is why they are doing everything in their power to discredit Americans that disapprove of the new law.
