8. I'm in agreement
We might have the numbers on paper, but in reality, the seats that we won from the Rethugs the last several years have been populated with politicians who know their districts could go GOP at any time. I doubt that we would even be in the majority in either the House or the Senate if it had not been for Iraq.

In other words, the Democratic Congress is there with a mandate to stop losing the lives of our servicepeople, and they haven't even been able to do that. If they can figure out how to keep us out of wars that we don't belong in, then maybe they can be trusted to figure out how to dig us out of the rest of our problems.
