I am always amazed when people express such strong op;inions on subjects they know nothing about. check out the America Votes Act before you say anything more on this subject about the do nothing congress.
Please, your attempt to insult my intelligence with that lame piece of legislation as evidence of "doing something" is ridiculous. They were a do nothing congress. They did not lose because of Iraq. They lost because they did nothing of any substance on any issue, even when they had right and justice on their side and the whole country watching the issue it was a PR bonanza handed to them on a silver platter. They tripped the waiter but managed to grab a glass of champagne before he fell and you call that an accomplishment.
That is why they lost. They had the support of their supporters - which is never enough to win - but that made them think they would.
