So after all the screaming and yelling was done last week (and that was just on Fox), you have to wonder how the voters are feeling right now about their CongressCriminals...after the Schimdt Stinkbomb on the floor of the House the republicans felt it their duty to however cynically, point out that they are all for keeping their constituents kids over in Mess O'Potamia, while theirs stay safe and sound here on their (or their friends/lobbyists/whatever) payrolls, raising their 2.5 little republican offspring and driving their SUVs in the burbs...

''To cut and run would invite terrorism into our backyards, and no one wants to see troops fighting terrorism on American soil,'' Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., said Friday night after the House, as planned, rejected a GOP-written resolution for immediate withdrawal. The vote, held as lawmakers rushed toward a two-week Thanksgiving break, was 403-3.

But wait, let's see, that means that there's a disconnect somewhere here...hmmmm....according to some recent polling data, maybe a more honest discussion of these issues might be prudent. Because as stupid as the Washington set seems to think that the Average American is, it seems that they are starting to wake up to the fact that there's no real plan, no ideas, and certainly no honesty from the folks wielding the levers of power about Mess O'Potamia...
