Default Who really is running a do nothing congress?

Wasn't that the main theme Pelosi kept chanting in the run up for the 2006 election. We're going to replace this do nothing congress. Well congrats on her part. She did replace it with an even more do nothing congress and for once I have to give her thumbs up. As long as they do nothing they can't really screw up too much of our lives can they? I know some of you aren't happy with todays gas prices but hey, she promised to fix them too.

Here is there record: In two decades of record keeping by congress, the have past the fewest laws ever at 294. However, they have been very productive proposing a record amount of resolutions at more than 1,900. Hey RM, before you go cheering now, realise resolutions are non-binding and aren't law. However lets look at this important stuff passed:
Soil is an "essential natural resource"
May 5-9 National Substitue Teacher Reconition Week
July 28 as the Day of the American Cowboy

Things I'm not sure if they passed or not:
National Funeral Director and Mortician Recognition Day
July as National Watermelon month


Two more important resolution bogged down:

reconizing America's Christmas-tree industry
The origins of Baseball.

Don't forget those all-important steroid investigations.

Yep, those Demonrats are an awful bunch. After just 19 months in office they have trashed everything that we hold sacred. They are aboutas bad as the DeLay-Hastertcabal.

You're wrong. She's done something, blocked oil while investing in stocks of alternative fuel companies such as CLNE. She's looking to make big bucks for herself byusing policy to suit her financial interests! When she said she'd bring ethics to congress, she just forgot to put theword "bad" in front of it!

She only runs half the do-nothing Congress. Cheney runs the other half. Seems to be like the blame game is a complete wash.

After their resounding defeat in 06; the Republican coingress went home and left most of the budget undone. I remember Republicans in congress defending junkets on contributors planes as "saving the government money."

Looks like Cheney and crew are going to cash in again, I hear he wants to pass a plan to sell Iraq Abrahm Tanks. Of course they are not going to be made in the U.S.

You liberal pukes really make me laugh. It's a derisive laughter, and it is a contemptous laughter.
Pig Pelosi was your shining knight on a white horse. Instead, you got a road-killed skunk.
And yet another hero in the Senate ! Harry 'it's a lost cause' Reid...hahahah !!! A road-killed skunk
and a spineless sack of offal. Certainly neither of your heroes have brought the troops home like you commies have been whining for, she's not done anything at all, actually, except brought the congressional approval rating down below even that of good ol' Dubya hisself. Ha Ha Ha. Looks like somebody threw the bag of doody into the fan while standing in front of it 'cause you guys can't defend your candidates or the retards you put in office. Oh...Yes ! Let's be 'green'...throw your frikkin cars away stupid Americans...buy...uh...um....er.....what ? What's the democrap substitute for cars ? Uh....let's see in the words of "The Great and Merciful Obama, messiah to the biblically stupid, I'll spell it out for you: UH....umm...uhh...it's....uh....like it's ......umm....er.....yes.... and uh....it's uh.... " Ha Ha Ha. And you want more of the same in November. Ha Ha Ha. Pass the Kool-Aid, pukes.....the lot of 'ya.....HA HA HA...
