The 110^th - "Do nothing" Congress

May 9^th, 2007

Dave Wissing over at the Hedgehog Report calls to our attention that the “Washington Post published an article on how little Democrats have actually accomplished since taking power.”

He’s posted some interesting numbers that shows “the longer the Democrats are in power, the less people actually think it is good for the country.”

Gee.

Wasn’t January 25^th, 2006 that New York Senator Hillary Clinton said that when the Democrats regain power in the Congress gasoline prices will go down?

How about the “first 100 hours” political rhetoric.

I touched upon lots of this in an October 25, 2006 Tentacle column, called “When It Rains Frogs.” It was a piece in which I inaccurately predicted that the “Democratic Wave Theory” would not prevail… “Perhaps I have my head in the sand and suffer from a great reality disconnect, but I'm just not buying the grand Democratic Wave Theory that is being drubbed into everyone's head these days by the main stream media.”

But I did predict: “Not to mention the potential of two years of endless congressional hearings undermining our national security and non-stop partisan attempts to impeach the president on groundless charges and lay the groundwork for a Democrat to occupy the White House in 2009. If you thought the 109th Congress was a waste, you ain't seen nothin' until you see what a Democratic majority would do in the 110th.”

Thanks Dave.
