Alright, well I didn't mean to stir up this pot of hatred, but everyone sure seems keen on attacking me. A few things--Republicans don't outnumber Democrats 9 to 1. Secondly, I think anyone who believes that if and when the Democrats come to power they won't simply do the same thing Republicans are doing and pass "whatever the fuck they want" is either idealistic or immature. Let's not pretend that the Democrats have any goals of cooperation. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, consider this. What truly is the mark of a "bad" congressman? I would say it is a lack of representation of their constituency and a failure to enact legislature benefitting that constituency. Based on that definition, which I think is a fairly good one, wouldn't more Democrats be deserving of some of those slots? Naturally, the Republicans are in power now and that makes it extremely difficult for Democrats to pass legislation that makes them happy, but wouldn't it truly be the mark of a fine congressman to be able to pass legislation in the face of great odds?
it doesn't matter if the gang of perverts don't outnumber the dems 9 to 1. they run ALL of the committees in the house and ALL of the committees senate. given that fact, the dems basically have no control over what makes it to the floor for a vote in either chamber. you can't pass legislation "against great odds" unless it is something that not many members "could" be against w/o some sort of election repercussions. thus, that wouldn't be legislation passed "against great odds". rather, it would probably be something like a spending bill with bipartisan support for something like kevlar vests for the troops. something only a dildo would be against.
don't worry, if the dems take over both chambers, they'll fuck shit up, just not as badly as the GOP has nor as blatantly. there would be some accountability. as opposed to almost none, with the exception of a pederast whacking it whilst im-ing with a page. what a fucking freak!
