And they will wonder why they lost the senate in November.
Looks like we need to clean house and get rid of them all! Elect people that will do as they say

Whew! Good thing we got that Congressional majority! See, see you meanie-old right-wing FReeper monsters. If the Dems were in control, it’d be double than what the Republicans just passed!

If they get re elected they have a guaranteed job for the next 6 years which is more than any of us can say
