it’s democratic majority in both houses falling over each other to surrender in Iraq first

That's a proper name and should be capitalized. The Democrat majority. They are not democratic, although they might be the rest.

‘That’s a proper name and should be capitalized.’

No it’s not. By ‘democratic majority’ I mean having more votes than the opposition have, therefore it is not a proper noun and does not need to be capitalised.

As for your political point, I agree without reservation. :)
