Another Do Nothing Congress
I'm A Pundit Too ^ | 12/20/07 | Troy Stouffer

In January of 2007, the control of Congress was handed over to the Democratic party leadership under the mantra of “A New Direction”. After 11 months of control, the 110th Congress has one of the lowest approval ratings in history. The Democrats used the negative numbers in their campaigns last year to help retake control of both houses of Congress. Just before the November elections last year the Republican controlled Congress had a similarly low approval, but after a year of Democrat control, the voting public appears to have the same level of disdain for the way that the Democrats have handled their power. Both political parties are in some serious trouble when it comes to the public’s confidence in their ability to lead.

Its hard to be optimistic,while being a witness to the downfall of the republicrat party.I have been watching this party give in ,and give up ,for twenty years or more.The Democrap party has never been so vulnerable ,as they are now.They have absolutely no issues to win an election.But I don't think the GOP wants to win ,I believe as long as the congress stays equally divided, no matter who is in charge,the charade's will continue..Has the GOP started any campaign against the global warming hoax? Has the GOP had any voice in drilling for oil,building nukes,using coal?Has the GOP exposed the NEA on this fraud called education?Where is the GOP on illegal immigration?And the list goes on.Oh,I forgot,these issues are conservative issues ,they wouldn't’t want to make the RINOS feel not welcome would they .I'm sorry it slipped my mind,they bring LOTS of money and you can still hang the GOP banner on them and celebrate a victory.Have you noticed ,the more conservatives we get in the media the more the GOP lays down.Look how far we have come in twenty years.Rush was the only voice .Now with 24/7 access to a conservative somewhere,we are still statistically tied?Somebody help me out here..Is the GOP addicted to second place?Talk about disconnected, go to a local county party meeting ,around here its all local,they haven’t a clue about the national scene.Or state scene for that matter.We voted out Dewine while the state and county party endorsed him.Go figure.Ill be happy to send a dime to an individual candidate but not to a bipartisan GOP.
