It’s becoming quite the gamble. Once again, Democrats in Congress – led by Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi – are betting that the Sitcom Attention Span (SAS) of the American people will save their hides, this time from their dismal performance during the first six-month in control of the House and Senate. But as the old adage goes, fool me once, shame on you. . .
The list of accomplishments the Democrats have racked has been anything but what they promised during the 2006 election. They failed to end the Iraq War. They failed to reform the earmark process. Instead of “draining the swamp of corruption” they seem to have taken to bathing in it. They failed to produce meaningful immigration reform. They failed in securing the nation’s borders in a post-9/11 world. Oh wait, these aren’t accomplishments, are they?
The only things that the Democrats have succeeded in doing over the past six-months is getting the minimum wage increased (a bill which included small business incentives demanded by the GOP), spending more money on Hurricane Katrina relief (something worthy of an investigation), getting more funding for veteran’s care (something that was already in the wind) and wasting a boat-load of taxpayer money on political witch-hunt investigations. These investigations range from whether the president had the right to fire Federal Prosecutors who worked at his pleasure to a proposed investigation into ‘Scooter’ Libby’s commuted sentence. For the record, congressional investigations cost money and that money is derived from taxpayer dollars. Think about that the next time you hear Chuck Schumer or Hank Waxman proposing yet another frivolous, go-no-where, do-nothing, no-consequence, irrelevant congressional investigation simply for the media’s sake.

Anyone who entrusts anything of importance to this bunch of aged counter-culture hippies deserves to be fooled—can expect to be fooled—is in fact a FOOL.
The same can be said for that herd of RINOs led by Juan McCainez, Lindsey Grahamnesty and Trent Lott! Vote the bums out and replace them with conservatives!!
Caught Lil Dennis Kusinich on a news show. After the his garbage Social Democratic line of bilge water he gave the ol 60’s Peace sign. What a burnt out old hippie he is. This gut’s got to be on something- he’s not right in the head.
Bump for later read. Often discussed in this house.
Any time I hear about increases in funding for medical care, I always have to wonder, how much of this actually ends up in the account for patient care, and not in the accounts for increased salaries, more vacation time, shorter hours, etc.
I know, I know, I'm cynical. But I also know far too many people who are not serviced properly by the VA.
You forgot Florida’s favorite Senator Mel Martinez
The price of gas is 50% higher since they were sworn in, and they promised to reduce it. They also promised to create jobs faster, increase wages faster, and reduce the cost of college, but none of those things have happened. In fact, it is just the reverse.
Elephants NEVER forget.

Unfortunately their assessment of the general American public is probably true. Un-informed, non-critical twits who can vote.
Democrats’ Disastrous & Demagogic Congress PING. We’ll need to clip-n-save these points for future campaign reference.
My signature comment on this:
It’s a good thing this Democrat Congress is so incompetent, or they could do some real damage.
