Congress getting down on itself

Congress now suffering from low self-esteem. Our esteemed congressfolk are angry about beclowning themselves, and lay the blame for this on… everyone else. Well, crap rolls downhill from the top. Maybe they’re all simply following the president’s example. Fore!

  • For a bunch people who supposedly have low self esteem, they sure spend a lot of time, money, and effort trying to keep the job. If it's that bad, then why not just resign? Oh I know, it's because it's making them filthy rich!!!

  • Congress is like a roll of toilet paper, How matter how you dress it up, the end is always the same....

  • Damn straight they should have low self esteem. They took on tasks they were not equipped to do, in violation of the Constitution, and now they can't seem to come up with a solution. Of course they can't. They shouldn't.

    Most of the decisions they are making aren't theirs to make in the first place, and there's no way in hell that a one-size-fits-all solution will work -- which was the entire reasoning behind the federated government with a restricted scope of work laid out so well in the Constitution. They got greedy, took on responsibilities that weren't theirs, got in over their stupid heads, and they all ought to be fired.

    They need to get back to establishing national holidays, and let the states handle the business of governing, for which the feds clearly aren't qualified.

  • It's not low self-esteem. It's called having NO MORALS. They could care less what the public thinks of them because they are above the little people, therefore we don't 'deserve' better. It's more like the Soros/Trailer Trash syndrome. It's like I've got mine and you can't have any but if I wants yours, you will give that to me also.

  • Low self esteem? Ha. Their attitude is "I dont care what the country thinks of me, I am stuffing my pockets with millions of dollars every month. I can buy, er have the taxpayers buy, all the self esteem I need.".
    These scumbags know they are detested by everyone but journalists and MSM suckholes, in the case of far lefties, and couldnt care less.
    Article stays the staffers are depressed. What? Professional asskissers and felators (I cleaned that up) have low self esteem? Hahahaha.

  • The liberals present a more dangerous threat to us, they have a disrespect, almost hatred for America and American ideals.
    But the Republicans aren't much better, just not as much of a threat to the foundations of America. As soon as we vote the communists out we can start cleaning out the republicans.

  • Congress doesn't have low self esteem, they have low esteem for their constituents. Oh well, we may not be able to fix stupid, but we can vote them out.

  • From the group that believes " I think I am therefore I am " , which is so divorced from any type of reality that most normal people have , the only real question was , When did they have any REAL esteem ?

    I've heard it said " Even a child is known by what they do , whether they are good or evil . Thank goodness none of us are the judge as to what is truely Good or Evil , as that belongs to GOD . But when someone's sense of wellness ( esteem ) is based on pretend , well I think we get the picture.

    Happy Thanksgiving to those that are .
