The traitor Snowden has higher approval ratings than nearly all of congress. Americans love their country but now have raw hatred of the broken puppets maneuvered into office.

Snowden a 'traitor"?

Are you an idiot?

Snowden had the courage and balls to expose a major part of the corruption and criminality of the U.S. govt.

He's a goddam National HERO!

And these 'broken puppets' you speak of are no such things.

They are plain greedy CRIMINALS and TREASONOUS THIEVES!

Ask the average Eloi sheep person what they think of THEIR congressman. More than half of them will approve. The reason everyone hates congress, is that you can blame THE OTHER GUY's congressman. The excessively low polls that people have for the only body that is supposed to be selected through popular election, just shows the Eloi sheep person's natural tendency to avoid personal responsibility and lay blame elsewhere.

Die Sheeple.

some facts from ann coulter via drudge...

http://www.anncoulter.com/columns/2013-10-09.html

 

-- No doctors who went to an American medical school will be accepting Obamacare. 

 

-- A 62-year-old man earning $46,000 a year is entitled to a $7,836 government tax credit to buy health insurance. But if he earns an extra $22 in income, he loses the entire $7,836 credit. He will have more take-home pay by earning $46,000 than if he earns $55,000. (If he's lucky, he already works for one of the companies forced by Obamacare to reduce employees' hours!) 

 

-- Obamacare is such a disaster that the people who wrote it refuse to live under it themselves. That's right, Congress won a waiver from Obamacare. 

 

-- Obamacare is turning America into a part-time nation. According to a recent report by economist John Lott, 97 percent of all jobs added to the economy so far this year have been part-time jobs. Ninety-seven percent! 

 

-- Nationally, Obamacare will increase men's individual insurance premiums by an average of 99 percent and women's by 62 percent. In North Carolina, for example, individual insurance premiums will triple for women and quadruple for men. 

 

also - if you "visit" the grand canyon - 

http://lasvegas.cbslocal.com/2013/10/08/grand-canyon-cites-people-for-entering-closed-park/

 

"Nearly two dozen people have been issued citations for entering Grand Canyon National Park after a partial government shutdown forced its closure.

Grand Canyon Chief Ranger Bill Wright says some people have been caught at the South Rim, on trails, attempting rim-to-rim hikes or trying to sneak in through dirt roads.

All of the citations will be handled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Wright says each of the 21 citations issued as of Monday has a mandatory order to appear in federal court."

Ya know whats even funnier?

Public Policy Polling as a poll taker.

Q26

 

In the last presidential election, did you vote for

Barack Obama or Mitt Romney?

Barack Obama

................................................

49%

Mitt Romney

I like the tone of irony in your heading. But hey GW, you have to avoid that dangerous cliff if  your reasoning evolves into open hatred. As hatred of those in power is no panacaea to our ills. 

Better than haterd is contempt of corruption and acts of betrayal of the republic IMO.

Can we not find a tone of contempt of those forging current trends, the people in power;  to complement our ongoing love for the values of the republic; the first of which is love of truth and of justice?

Hatred is a corrosive force it kills those who feel it more than those whom its aimed at! COunterproductive!

Let's see. Congress is very unpopular-and yet they all get reelected, all the time. It's a miracle! How do you think that happens?
"People like their own rep but despise those from other districts" was a meme that was invented by the media.
The NSA rigs elections. Get it straight.
The NSA. RIGS. ELECTIONS.
They listen in and record on every single electronic device in your home. But those voting machines? Nah, those things are on the level.

Putin is not a communist. There is a communist party in Russia but they lost the elections, by a huge margin. Putin did not run on a Communist Ticket; and is not a communist. Obamma is more of a communist than Putin is; by a considerable margin.

Perhaps you've forgotten that he started that massive bombing at Kissinger's advice, and it was supposed to be a secret because he was going to get us out of that war.  Talk about a sucker!

Kissinger and my father were in the same battalion together in WW2 (Railsplitter division) and may have known him for a short time after the war when attending NYU ... massive bombing worked in WW2 and was probably the idea behind the advice ,,, Nixon was too scared to attack the Soviets directly (see "Going Downtown") and thought he could win by killing all the Soviets footsoldiers in the N. Vietnamese. NOT A BAD PLAN...

Probably the only thing that would make me feel better (and worse at the same time) is if Congressmen en-masse came out and said that they were being blackmailed by the "secret government" and naming names, to do the bidding of the Obomber.

Now it is probably bot possible for Reid (who should not be in office because he lost the election to a tea partier ... but had the results forged) or Pelosi who are most likely demonically possessed.

However, I would hope that those who still have free will could come out and to the right thing for once in their miserable corrupt lives.

I find it strange that congress as a whole is being demonized. Sure they are all bought and paid for and certainly are not serving the people at this point. But I think this is all being done to get rid of congress and just allow the president to act as he pleases. Sad to say but we need congress, I think we need to hold the voting system accountable to make sure the fraud is kept in check. Congress is what keeps the USA from being a democracy where 51% tell the other 49% what to do.

I see that most of the National Parks are closed and citizens are getting manhandled.  This is done on purpose by Obama to make the shutting-down Republicans look bad.  There are many individuals and family businesses dependent upon Park traffic to make a living, but those pricks don't care who they hurt.

They (both sides of the government party) need to make as many people as possible hurt to give cover to raising the debt ceiling.

That is what this is really about, Obamacare is just the face of it because everyone hates it.  
If they do not get a raising of the debt ceiling, you get zero deficit spending and the gravy (QE) to wall street stops.

Then we can just shut off the lights cause the party is over. GDP drops by a minimum of what, 8%?  EBTs get cut, subsidies cut.  

FSA would go ballistic overnight.
