Is it any wonder, why the approval ratings of the Congress go up every time we go into recess?

First, his job approval ratings have been trending down for many months, a trend that has accelerated in recent weeks as the war on terrorism has been supplanted in the public's mind by corporate scandals, stock market declines, and a growing sense of economic insecurity.

She's leaving when the president has one of the highest approval ratings on record. From here, it can only go down. And when it does, you know who they're going to blame. They're gonna blame Andy Card!

I mean, all the ratings wars are silly. But, I mean, someone has to be concerned about the ratings because it means, you know, it translates into revenue.

We got ratings. It isn't that they won't quarrel with you, or say you're always right. But as long as you stay strong and the ratings are good and you're reasonable - I don't think we fought unreasonably. We basically won that right.

We've got a dictatorial president and a Justice Department that does not want Congress involved. Your guy's acting like he's king. His dad was at a 90 percent approval rating and he lost! And the same thing can happen to him!

I've been doing TV for fourteen years, and I've always had a fascination with the political business side. It's ruled my life. Ratings or no ratings have decided where I live, who I work with, and how long I'll be doing that particular job.

Baited By Ratings (The Defamation Game)
Baited by ratings,
And driven to satiate...
The entertainment of news.
And what and who produces the best,
Net worth.
At the sacrifice of substance.
Feeding those obstinate.
With desires that are decadent.
Baited by ratings,
And driven to satiate...
Public revelations,
Of those raise to heights.
Those selected to be judged and smeared.
By those electing to delight from the blight.
Baited by ratings,
And driven to satiate...
On gossip that's dropped.
With nonstop dollars...
Given to the media on top,
Of the defamation game.

Butts Wigglin'
The sweet sound of patent approval
comin' down in a not quite fog
The sweet sound of patent approval
comin' down in powdery sparks
The sweet sound of patent approval
comin' down with holiday concern
The sweet sound of patent approval comin'
down in a world of hurt
In my opinion the drug is ready
The warm hand of abject approval
comin' down with its' ropey veins
The warm hand of abject approval
comin' down to the fingerbowl
In my opinion the drug is ready
The cold eye of constant approval
comin' down to freeze the blood
The cold eye of constant approval
comin' down to look real close
In my opinion the drug is ready

I think if you look at yesterday's New York Times poll, particularly when you judge Democrats in Congress versus the Republicans in Congress, people put a little more faith, or even a little more than a little more faith in the Democrats in Congress.

Rhymes Without Reason
Ticket sales
Not ratings.
That is what moves
Most commodities.
If folks depended
On how things were rated,
There would be more quality.
And it's usually word of mouth
That someone catches a deal!
Like finding one day an appetite,
For something one writes
That has been real!
And all those 'pooped' ratings
That were high on hype,
Will tumble when their rhymes
Without reason,
Are found to lose their bite!
Especially when they are written,
By those with no clue or dropp of insight!

The truth
The truth is what we don't see
It is the innocent glace across the room
full of admiration, love and pain
Secrets,
So many secrets hidden in one glance
We cover the truth with lies of approval,
so that no one judges us,
so we fit in,
but really, People will always judge us,
we will never fit in,
We dont need their approval,
All we need in love, happiness and peace in our souls
But the truth will never be known
Because were too busy seeking the approval
of those who will never approve.

Shameless
His wars have failed
His soldiers die
No-one has ever
Seen him cry
His torture cells
Wiretaps exposed
His secret prisons
Will be closed
Approval ratings
In the lurch
He dare not show
His face in church
His self-invention
Crumbles, dies
His promises
Transparent lies
He smirks to shield
The criticism
Poisoning hope
With cynicism
Kids uninsured
So what the hell
The earth can go
That way as well
Scorned almost
Comprehensively
His pious screed
A travesty
His creed one of
Incompetence
Self-satisfied
With ignorance
Without respect
To justify
He shows no shame.
One question:
Why?

The Obama administration and the Democratic Congress have taken the biggest lurch to the left in policy in American history. There've been no - no Congress, no administration that has run this far to the left in such a small period of time. And there is a reaction to that.

The Right Address
I know it's not all about me!
But that part of me that is affected by 'it'
Is going to get my many visits.
And seeking acceptance or approval
For my concern...
Is something that I've earned.
It wasn't given for me to be driven,
Into insanity
Because someone has not granted me approval...
To be me!
'God,
I don't see where they believe You are with me,
At all!
Are You sure You gave me the right address? '

Good and Nasty
I am not one to play with.
Or someone to enjoy,
When you take time for recess.
Just for a moment of diversion,
Dipped in scripted pleasures.
You have stayed too long in the books.
Studying for answers,
And how things should look.
Even when it is good and nasty!
I am not an experiment...
For discussion or task to pass!
I am genuine and real.
Nothing in my makeup suggests...
I wish to leave anything covered,
Left alone in the dark untouched.
Or
A search to get dressed...
After satisfying in complete nakedness.
I am not one to play with.
Or someone to enjoy,
When you take time for recess.
My feelings for you are serious.
When you discover them...
We both will become delirious with joy!
Unless you have other methods,
To seduce in display...
To teach and convey,
Lessons of digressions!
