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.
