You are correct. The voters gave them the biggest victory in congressional history, and they did absolutely NOTHING with it. They tip-toed around trying not to offend, thinking that was the way to win the White House in 2012. Instead they got murdered across the Senate and in the White House.
Somehow our party pr is such a disaster that our House members who passed no less than 30 legitimate bills to tackle spending, debt, budgets, reforms etc got 100% of the blame for ‘doing nothing’. All the while the Dem Senate, under direction from the Obama campaign actually did nothing...no budgets, no bills, no committee votes, no debates. Nothing. Yet they get a bigger majority.
What a disaster. Everyone involved should lose their positions.
“they did absolutely NOTHING with it”
I blame them more for the class of 94 and the Bush the Younger years than 10-12. There isn’t much you can do with just the House. Unfortunately nothing getting done gets dumped on Pubs instead of the party in charge of the Senate and White House. But that’s the perennial problem.
I blame constantly surrendering the PR war and continuing to be the Stupid Party over squandering ‘10. That was a losing hand no matter his we played it. But must we lose by that much? Must we seem to like it? No!
