Do you approve or disapprove of the way Congress is handling its job?

1. What's there to approve of?

:shrug:

[Erika]

5. We got the first minimum wage increase in over a decade

We have a national debate on Iraq for the first time. Corruption of the GOP is being prosecuted. All in only 5 months. Remember the body punches. Not as dramatic as a knockout but they will still bring the opponent down.

17. Interesting how 84% of the peops here

disapprove of the Democratic congress. Hey, Congress critters..are ya listening???

[EndElectoral]

2. The failure to stop the funding of Iraq would have taken courage. Instead they caved.

[Swede]

3. Congressional oversight hearings are turning the lights on.

Subpoena power will get results.

6. How so?

[RufusTFirefly]

8. Authorizing a subpoena is different from serving one

Have any of the subpoenas been served?

(chirping crickets)

[BlooInBloo]

4. It isn't clear to me that they *can* do more, with the barest of majorities.

[Erika]

7. The GOP will be deserting W and his right wing policies

the closer we get to the election. They'll be coming over to our side.

[Hardrada]

10. I wish you were right but I can't see any of them coming out of

their trenches, waving white flags and shouting "Schiessen sie nicht! Alles kaput, Kameraden!"

9. Whadda ya guys want??? a return of the PUBs?

[Phredicles]

11. I fear that's what we WILL get if our party continues to act worthless.

[DemBones DemBones]

12. No! Dems acting like they have spines, and showing up to vote

when it's important.

[opihimoimoi]

14. For better or worse...our Dems is the best odds to get the Nation back on track

Sure, like anyone else, they fuck up too.

But, nevertheless, they are are our best hope to right the WRONGS of the PUB Party.

[DemBones DemBones]

15. They came in promising no more rubber stamp Congress

but also saying impeachment was off the table. It's like Will Rogers said, "I don't belong to any organized political party, I'm a Democrat."

But it's not funny anymore. They need to get their act together and work against the administration, as they were elected to do, or they'll be voted out in 2008 and we'll probably get another GOP president. It's very discouraging.

[opihimoimoi]

16. Ok, you win, fuck um all, we go vote red....

[NaturalHigh]

13. Strongly disapprove...

and that goes for BOTH parties.

[BuyingThyme]

18. Good morning.
