Some Thoughts on Lame Ducks
Human Event’s has a piece about what the Lame Duck Congress should do.
Let me preface my thought’s by saying these are all great ideas.
However, I do believe in our form of Representative Democracy and The People have spoken. The American People did not vote for the Democrats, they voted against the Republicans. To try to sneak in and get things done, like has happened many other times, would not be all that great for moving forward the philosophy of governing by principles.
As much as I would like to see these policies implimented, it’s not exactly principled.
P.S. If Mike Pence isn’t elected Minority Leader, the GOP will lose 20+ seats in 2008. To continue as things are, Congress would say to us that as far as they are concerned everything is hunky-dory.
