Comments on: Philistines rejoice at low poll ratings for Congress http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/07/09/philistines-rejoice-at-low-poll-ratings-for-congress/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."

It's a simple matter of common decency and common sense. Nor is it political correctness, lest anyone suggest otherwise.

If disparaging comments about looks are not welcome, then you should state it on your banner page. Regarding my wife, mother, sister or daughter....I would consider them off limits as well. In fact, I would consider comments about your looks off limits, even though you are probably better looking than the average man. Back to Nancy Pelosi, I know the purpose of your site is to point at the flaws of the Conservative view point and you have no time to focus on the train wreck on the liberal side.

Don't be such a sexist pig. Remarks like that are the stuff of dimwits who have nothing cogent to say about the subject at hand.

I don't like its record either. Again, I merely suggested that the polls have been widely interpreted. Kaus: You still haven’t pointed out where I tried to defend Congress.

Big talkers....no real action. In fact the biggest joke is passing FISA after whining about it the year before. And just as I expected, a democratic congress when really pressed, won't send our young men home from Iraq this year or next. The only thing correct in your comments is the "marxist surrendercrats". But that shouldn't come as a suprise to you.

Until then let the other bloggers...WHARRGARBLE. And this poll will actually mean something when residents of one state/district get to vote for representatives of other states/districts.
