This isn't to say they have been a do-nothing Congress; that would be far too kind. After all, our legislators did manage to pass yet another pay raise for themselves this year - because it's important that their pay, but not the minimum wage, keep up with inflation. And they took quick, decisive action on the matter of Terry Schiavo. When they haven't been enriching themselves or distracting us with nonsense issues, they've been passing disgusting legislation like the Military Commissions Act, which guts the Geneva Conventions and all but legalizes torture. They've also been cutting student loans.

“I am a Republican and have traditionally voted that way,” Tony Schuler, an operations services manager at Microsoft with a Harvard M.B.A., said as he sat with his wife, Deanna, in their home above Lake Sammamish. But Mr. Schuler abhors what he sees as a new Republican habit of meddling in private affairs.

“The Schiavo case. Tapping people without a warrant. Whether or not people are gay,” he said. “Let people be free! It’s not government’s job to interfere with those things.”

So many close elections - it's all about TURN OUT!
