GLENN: By the way, Bush's approval rating has sunk to 28%, but it's tied with another low that he had back in April. So -- the real children in the race to the bottom is congress. 13% now approval rating for congress. Fantastic. 13%. How do these people get away with it? How does anybody think in congress that they can get away with it? How are they getting -- that's actually -- Stu, can you help me here? I mean, I'm not a political strategist. I'm just a thinker. I can't -- I mean, they are getting away with it.
STU: Yeah, the reason they think they can get away with it is because they think they can continue to get away with it.
GLENN: How, though?
STU: I mean, you know, I think you have a large amount of people that don't pay attention and they are targeted by, I don't want to say one of the parties, but one of the parties.
GLENN: This doesn't sound like a bipartisan --
STU: It's definitely not a bipartisan answer that I'm giving. This does come back to, you know, we can complain about drilling all I want but, I don't know. I do remember from 2000 to 2006 having a Republican President -- and again --
GLENN: And congress that didn't drill. They just spent money.
STU: Again you're right. There were forces that were stopping them. Not like they didn't want to, though.
GLENN: Now, come on, man, let's not -- Stu.
STU: Well, it's true.
GLENN: There were special interest forces that stopped them. They didn't do anything. They were spending money when they were running congress like Paris Hilton in a little dog store just going crazy all the time just spending every dime that we have. Now congress -- now, the Republicans had a spine and a backbone and they stepped to the plate and said enough. When are the Democrats going to do that? Is it going to take the Democratic President? Is that what it's going to do? I don't know if these people see who have taken over their party. I plead with American Democrats to get yourself out of the room with these extremists that your party said, no, no, no, we're using them. It's the other way around. They control you. They've been using you. And now they're in control. And you want proof? Look at Media Matters. Look at the Daily Kos. These people are not Democrats. They're socialists. They're Marxists. When people like Chris Matthews and Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton aren't liberal enough for you, you're in real trouble. They are taking and they're cannibalizing their own party because it's not their party. They are extreme left. And the good Democrats in America need to wake up. We've never been this country before, and it is really I think spooky. I think it's really spooky. And, you know, the Democrats are taking, here they are -- they are doing their big convention in Denver and they're again focusing on the green movement. Are you crazy? How are they getting away with it? They're focusing on the green movement? They are going to make this a green convention. You're out of your mind. At the same time -- I love this story -- Denver has given homeless movie tickets and zoo asses for use during the Democratic National Convention. Why? When the DNC is in town next month, Colorado coalition for homeless plans to give away 500 movie tickets, zoo passes and museum tickets along with bus tickets for the use during the convention. Why? Is there a big homeless problem where they can't go see the zoo? Is there -- I mean, I've never met a homeless person where they had a cup out and they said, I just really want to go to the zoo. Zoo tickets? Zoo tickets? Just enough for a zoo ticket? I've never seen a homeless person out begging for money. I just really want to see Mamma Mia. Mamma Mia, enough for Mamma Mia, please? Please, please, I haven't seen it -- I'm homeless. I haven't seen a good movie in I don't know how long! The only reason to do this is to get these people off the streets. These are the compassionate green people that say that we're so awful as conservatives, they don't want to see them. They don't want to look at them. They don't want to be around them. Send them to a zoo. Send them to a museum. Only the elitist Democrats would say, "You know what we could do to help. If we could just take a homeless person and get them a free pass to the art museum, wouldn't he just love that, lovie?
