stands at just 17.8% after dipping to the LOWEST RATING EVER RECORDED back in December of last year.

If, as the GOP claims, Eric Holder is in contempt of Congress, he sure ain't alone.

The hell of it is they don't care. The very ultra wealthy LOVE the Republicans and as long as the money flows their way, this congress couldn't care less what the average American thinks of them.

This November will certainly test their theory that all they need is money to get reelected.

Here's hoping a wave of fed up voters washes the Tea Party debris out of the House and Senate.

I'm surprised it's that high. The GOP has polluted congress to the point of it being hazardous waste.

...112thers can point to is the near shutdown of government services and the threatened default of United States to its creditors.

They are truly the worst of the worst.

To crib from Matt Taibibi: They are "...a historical punch line, a political obscenity on par with the court of Nero or Caligula — a stable of thieves and perverts who committed crimes rolling out of bed in the morning and did their very best to turn the mighty American empire into a debt-laden, despotic backwater, a Burkina Faso with cable."
