The Democratic Party, as we all know, handed the GOP their own asses in November by taking over both houses of Congress, and rightfully so. It may have been worth them taking over just to see the crushed looks on the faces of the GOP leadership, whos moronic, Populist pandering strategy when it came to things like gay marriage and flag burning, and War on Terror fear mongering was beyond contempt.
However, now the Democrats are in charge, and have been in charge for quite some time now. They can no longer rely on the excuse, "The Republicans have the majority! We can't enact change!" And now, it seems, it is the Democrats who are contemptable, at least in the eyes of the American people. Some polls show Congress's approval rating to be at 11%. 11 PERCENT! Can you believe that? More people support OJ than the Democratic Congress! But of course, these whiny Statists will probably do what all politicians and political parties do, and blame it all on their opponents, a response that only the most partisan of partisans will buy into. Have we left Iraq yet, or are we at the least THINKING about leaving Iraq in the near future? Has ANY measure from the president to keep feeding tax dollars into the heinous travesty known as the Iraq War come under serious scrutiny? Has one of our most basic rights as citizens been re-instated yet, the right to Habeus Corpus? Have the turds that run our legislative branch done anything of value, besides raise the minimum wage an insignificant amount, vote for a mind numbingly stupid condemnation of Moveon.org, and ruminate on the idea of national healthcare? Please, if they have, tell me, because I'm genuinely curious.
I guess we should count our blessings, though. After all, when Congress doesn't accomplish anything, you feel that the American people, at least for the moment, are safe.
