They're pointing how it's repug ruled and how they're know as the "do nothing congress." Then it goes straight to talking about Foley.

This is almost enough to give me hope. Almost, not quite, but almost. :)

1. Thats neat but I don't honestly think of them
as a do nothing congress.....I wish they were a do-nothing congress rather than what they are....

More like the do-worst-things-ever-but-nothing-constructive congress....;)

2. Yeah, they have done too much, IMHO
If they had passed nothing at all they would have been better. And that includes budgets.

5. I agree. But to put this in context
This is the first time I've seen a trend toward not glossing over the republicans locally this close to an election since, well...since bush ran for Gov. here in Texas.

This may well be a good sign.

6. I know. Maybe there is hope.
Even the propaganda people must get sick of spewing the likes sometimes.

3. Do nothing in the sense that they don't do what they're supposed to
for instance, check the power of the executive.
