Senator Who Created The TSA, Now Wants It Abolished
Video - Rep. John Mica has some regrets - Judge Napolitano - Apr. 18, 2011
We made a mistake with the title for this story in calling Congressman John Mica of Florida a Senator. He likely dreams of it night and day, but for now he remains the dumbass Rep. from Florida who helped create the TSA.
WHY DO GOVERNMENT AGENCIES LIKE THE TSA GET CREATED ... BECAUSE ELECTED DUMBASSES GET TOGETHER IN A DUMBASS GROUP AND CREATE DUMBASS LEGISLATION!!!
Congressional Approval Back Below 20%
Decline in approval rating in third month of new Congress
similar to 1995, 2007

PRINCETON, NJ -- Congress' approval rating is down to 18% after being in the 20% range the first two months of the year, and is essentially back to where it was just after last November's midterm elections.
Americans' opinions of Congress have not been very positive historically, with an average 34% approval rating since Gallup began tracking this measure in 1974. But the recent approval ratings for Congress have been among the lowest in Gallup's 37-year trend. Since 2008, Congress' approval rating has been below 20% in 15 of 39 months, including a record-low 13% last December.
The election of the new Congress in November brought about an opportunity for Congress' ratings to improve, as they did the last two times a change in party control occurred, in 1995 and 2007.
Between December 2010 and February 2011, Congress' approval rating increased a total of 10 points, slightly less than the increases from December 1994 to February 1995 (14 points) and December 2006 to February 2007 (16 points).
