The poll asked if people thought that Congress&#8217;s pay should be cut.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Now I know you&#8217;re asking yourselves, &#8220;What the hell was that Right Wing Loon doing looking at <a title=\"CNN\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\" target=\"_blank\">CNN&#8217;s web site<\/a>?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The answer is, I just breeze past it once a day to see what the moonbats are barking about this time. I almost never bother with the stories since, unless it&#8217;s actual &#8220;Hard News&#8221; ((<strong>News that doesn&#8217;t have a political angle to it like plane crashes, floods etc<\/strong>)). However the poll was on the main page of the site so I thought I would take a look.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy to announce that there IS common ground between Wingnuts and Moonbats. We all think Congress should have it&#8217;s pay cut. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>When I checked it, fully 94% of the respondents said that Congress needed to have it&#8217;s pay cut. I assume the other 6% were actual congresscritters, their family members and staffers.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m going to have my own poll.
