Yes, why didn't they suddenly control the world? How come they didn't stop the sun from going down and change the nature of reality to disneyland. I want my money back.

If you take a look, they didn't do a whole lot, and nothing got to the President to get a veto so, I guess its a bust. The only thing we didn't hear much about was the Tax deal where a certain Tuna Canning factory was exempt from the taxes, and it is owned by Polosi.
They also are working on passing a House Bill where your elected officials wont have to vote for a tax increase, it could be automatic, and you cant hold your representative responsible for their vote.
I really thought that politics was going to be clean and above board, but, I guess its the same old book, just a different cover on it.

They were too busy getting Nancy Pelosi a bigger airplane to ride in to visit her grandkids in California.
They spent there first 50 days trying to pass a 'non-biding resolution' to cut funding for Iraq or whatever it was supposed to say. It was going to have no more meaing that the paper it was printed on, so what was the point. They could have saved 49 days by just having a press conference of everyone that wanted to condemn the war giving their speeches and get it over with and get down to business of making this country run.
But really, it was just words, would you expect anything less from a politician than to say what they think the people want to hear and then sit on their duffs building pork barrels. They didn't even introduce a tenth of what they promised to get elected, so it wasn't Bush vetoing. The first and only veto so far since the election was the recent veto of the budget that called for set dates of pulling out of Iraq.

The House has been quite busy passing the promised legislation, (you'll see them coming through soon enough) but as usual, the ponderous Senate is slow on the job.
And of course, we have George waiting to wield the avenging 'veto pen'.
Be patient.

The difference between DEMs and GOPs in Congress is that DEMs want a huge govt. that overspends on entitlements and GOPs want a huge govt. that overspends on defence. They both want this war to support Israel, Big Oil, and the defense corporations. Hey, those three groups are where they get their re-election campaign money... wake up people!!! Tweedle-dee or Tweedle-Dum for President?

Those Democrats really got scared of Bush, why?, your guess is as good as mine. It is as if the Democrats just changed their clothes to that of Republicans.

The biggest changes are that pork barrel projects now go to their contributors and districts instead of the Republican's. That's the real bottom line in federal politics.

well, they've been working on a lot of them...
passed a lot of legislation... some vetoed...
you can't change everything in just 6 months... it's government, not your underwear...
it's kind of complex...
can you cite me where they promised everything would be changed in 6 months... I didn't see that?

They can only push through changes that W won't veto. The Democrats don't have a big enough majority to override.
