What Have Democrats Done Since Coming Into Office?

Mostly they’ve named post offices.

Ted Kennedy wrote a month ago in the Washington Post that “In my 45 years in Congress, I have never seen the Senate turn so rapidly from stalemate toward real progress,” and that “the election replaced a do-nothing Congress with the kind of Congress that our Founding Fathers intended”. Really? Our Founding Fathers intended for Congress to spend its time trying to undermine the executive branch and to intrude on its Article II powers during wartime?
The truth is that the Democrats, rather than fulfill their electoral promise of moderation and productivity, have chosen gridlock and extremism. They have wasted their 100 days on partisan sniping and legislation crafted to appease their radical base. As a result, their first 100 days have been remarkably barren of actual action but overflowing with accusations and pomposity.

What’s more, in their first 100 days in office the Dems have managed to get all of two bills passed. Two.
Now normally I don’t mind Congress not getting a lot done. The more time those over zealous bureaucrats spend bickering with each other the less time they have to spend our money and pass new tax laws. But when the Dems came into office promising a raucous “100 hours” of legislating to get a myriad of bills passed you can’t help but mock them a bit for falling flat on their faces.

    Robert108: You are right! What I want to try is a part time citizen Congress, versus a full time professional political elite. I am thinking the less time there the less time for them to do any mischief!

    Of course, Teddy has it exactly wrong. The Founding Fathers set up our representative republic so that legislation would follow a slow, tortuous process, with balance of powers slowing it down at every turn. They wanted to prevent the type of railroading the present-day Dems are trying to push through.

    I would be willing to bet it will be all bushes fault by the end of the day.

    Now here is someone creating a word and category, then putting others into it!
    Most people know what a communist is, but many people run from the classification when confronted. Typical lies that communists tell.

    Harvey who are you talking about?

    I’m a conservative and I cringe when people like you call yourselves conservative. You’re a neo-con and you make the real conservatives look bad.

    Thanks goon. I am waiting for the Duke-Nyphong post here. Can’t wait for all to admit The Truth.

    I think your right Chief, funny thing is that he called someone out but we don’t have a clue if he is reffering to Rob, me or anyone else in thread. Typical liberal crap.

    So basically they have done nothing in my opinion. I feel like I have been sold a bum deal. I remember all of these promises and all we have gotten is a promise to them to raise taxes AFTER THE 2008 election.
