clo,
Of course, Congress is *always* despised.
I remember, ten or more years ago, a poll that said Americans overwhelming believe Congress is doing a lousy job.
The same poll stated that Americans overwhelmingly believe THEIR OWN Congressmen were doing a fine job.
What does that tell us? It tells us that while Americans hate the representation, money and political favors being bestowed upon others, they want it for themselves. It tells us that Americans are a greedy, short-sighted bunch.
It doesn't paint us in a very good light, that's for sure.
