“And just what has the US Congress accomplished this year that justifies them taking a 6 week summer vacation EVERY year”?

Actually, I wish they would take a six week vacation in the winter, spring, summer AND fall. The less time they spend 'on the job' in Washington--the better for us all. The less legislating they do--the less damage they do.

When you look at many of the liberal, big government 'knows best' programs, and so-called progressive/intrusive/regulatory laws that they pass, I'd much rather have LESS legislation, not more.

HA! Wallace again asks the stupid question: Is Iraq the central war on terror? Bond answers correctly and talks about how successful the surge is. Bayh gives the typical spin answer: Iraq is NOT the central war on terror, its Pak and Afgan and there is where we should be fighting.

Well, surprise of surprises: Wallace is questioning Bahy on his change of positions — back then Iraq was the central front and now it is not. Bayh says, well I’m right both times, it was then but its not now! Talk about your daily spin cycle.

I agree philosophically. However there ARE times, IE funding the troops in the middle of a war, where Congress actually has a necessary job to be doing
