Congress has the power of impeachment, the purse and a gale force wind of support behind their duty to stop Obama, yet the pubbies will roll on their backs, in the hope Obama rubs their bellies like the good dogs they are.
It is delusional to think congress cares what the people think.
You said,
“Less than a month ago WE gave the GOPe, which ran on nothing, a congressional majority not seen in eighty years.”
Really?
Somehow I seem to remember lots of folks who celebrated their “purity” by promising to NOT vote for GOPe-endorsed candidates in that election.
And doesn’t that mean that “WE” cannot honestly claim credit for the landslide?
And, sadly, doesn’t THAT mean that there are not enough of us for our threats to be taken seriously?
Shouldn’t we threaten less? And teach more?
