Poll question: Congress Report Card
They have an immense responsibility and they wanted the job. It didn't come with a honeymoon period and if there was one, it's over.

How do you think they are doing?

1. They're a total disaster. They were elected for certain reasons. People
from both parties trusted them to do the right thing.

Boy, were we stupid.

5. Time for them to walk the walk - i don't think they realize that
the point of no return is on their doorstep.

11. If that's what you think you haven't been paying attention to
what's been posted since yesterday.

I don't need a nap. I need representation in Washington D.C. dammit.

4. Not one bill passed which favors the people.
Each and every bill even considered for a vote is chock full of giveaways to DLC/Blue Dog/GOP lobbyists.

9. Sorry, they can't cure cancer overnight...
:tinfoilhat:

The Repub. forces are dug in pretty hard and it's going to take longer than a few months to undo the damage of the B*sh administration. Stop with the kangaroo court nonsense. Some people are determined not to ever be satisfied with anything.

10. No one is talking about curing cancer
Kangaroo court my butt.

No bills being presented, not one, favors the people. Dems aren't even trying. Of course not, not with people such as Steny Hoyer leading the bend-over blue dog brigade.



Have fun with your curing cancer, tinfoil hat, and kangaroo court comments some place else.

6. Our elected Dems
keep driving home the perception that we are a party that doesn't fight back. Maybe that perception has become a reality.

7. They promised to change the course on many different levels
and they don't have the backbone. Gore's response to tony snow's criticism was an example of how to deal with the BS thrown out by GOP leaders in the congress.

Inject their faults as part of a one sentence response. And don't try to be cute about it. "...unlike the presidents SOTU, my book was fact-checked."
