And Do you feel congress has gone to far to try and get us out of Iraq? Otherwise you have X% unhappy with congress because they haven't done enough and Y% unhappy with congress because they have done to much and then you are adding them together saying (X+Y)% of the people are unhappy with congress trying to get us out of Iraq. Sorry that is fuzzy conclusions.

I say Congress' lack of conviction and political grandstanding on this issue is shameful.
Then I am told Congress is doing what they were elected to do and has or had a plan.
Then I say that plan was too vague.
Then I am told about Bush's plan, rather than addressing the vague Congressional plan.
Then I outline how the Bush machine could respond to the Congressional plan if the Congressional plan got any traction.
Then I am told that Democrats in Congress can't do it alone, when I never suggested that.
Then, I am told that Congress doesn't exist, and that this had been clearly explained to me.
Then I gave links showing what I meant by Congress.
Then I am told I am told to look up asinine because it may apply to me, and that I don't listen to people.
Then I make reference to what people surveyed think about the job Congress is doing and that I did not get the point of Congress not existing.
Then I am told Congress exists the way baseball fans exist and they don't all think alike, and I understood that all along.
I say I never suggested they all think alike.
Now, you tell me that Congressional approval ratings don't mean much because of the questions and fuzzy conclusions drawn from the surveys.
I officially throw up the white flag, I give.
Congress is acting honorable. Congress has a workable alternative plan to the Bush's plan. Congress is doing what the people want, eventhough the Democrats can't do it alone. Congress doesn't really exist the way I think they do, and they certainly don't all think alike. And, don't use polls to make a determination if Congress is actually doing what the people want or if your views are inline with those of the general public.
I think I got it.
Thanks
