The question is…what have the democrats done since they have taken the majority? I’m not complaining, and I know that it’s a real chore to get thing passed in congress. But, what are they are they waiting for?
The thing is, the republicans didn’t do much better when they had the majority. Politicians just want the power, then once they get it they just sit on their hands.
Recently, the only difference between the democrats and republicans are that the republicans actually stood for good principles, but they didn’t get things done.
We have to stand firm as people who have moral principles, and get things done! Let’s redefine politics.
The funny thing is that President Bush has a way higher approval rating, 31.0%. You wont hear that from the drive by media.

Andrew, you are 150% right. You won’t here that from the drive by media. When I saw that stat I was shocked at how low the rating was. I would have thought with how bad the GOP got beat in 06 mid elections that their numbers would have been higher. Guess we were wrong.
