They have indeed failed the first test. This is why the incumbents have to go. Apparently they learned nothing from the TEA success in the election.

McConnell has a lot of power...for now. In January that power shifts to Boehner.

Is anyone able to pick up a scent on the DREAM ACT?

... gave McConnell, R-Ky., almost as much power over the government's direction as the president himself.

Oh yeah, then how come the WSJ is reporting that Obama has his 67 votes to get ratification of that pathetic START treaty. The 67 votes include 6 or 7 Republican senators.

Why do I believe the WSJ? Is it because Republicans have consistently snatched defeat from the jaws of victory so many times in the past?

How come McConnell can't marshal his forces to send this treaty packing? Exactly what is Obama promising these Senators that can induce them to leave the plantation?

Why is it so important to have this worthless treaty ratified before the swearing in of the new Senate, just after the first of the new year? Why are these Senators so willing to help this loser to the detriment of the security of this country?

I am deeply depressed.
