This talk of "doing something after the people have spoken" is silly.
The people spoke (idiotically) in Nov 2008. The congressional terms run 2 years, including the "lame duck" session.
If they continue to carry out the foolish demands of the American people for those full two years, then so be it.
Does anyone think that if we win back the Congress that "our guys" will work as hard for our agenda during the regular term as theirs did during the lame duck session?
Doubtful.
Then they aren’t our guys; so amputate them.
