Got Perks?

I agree with the 'don't get me started' sentiment but
they ARE different - -
> where Foley resigned without any crime, Jefferson remains with multiple pages of indictment (and $90k in cold cash)
> where Gingrich had a 'Contract with America' that got things done in his first 100 days, Pelosi got nothing done in her first 100 hours (both have ethical problems)
> while both sides put their relatives on the payroll one way or the other (PAC leaders, lobbyists, staffers, etc) only Harry Reid has managed to put *three* family members on the [indirect] payroll
> taxes, troop support, terrorism, borders, entitlements, late-term abortions, ... crucial differences ad infinitum, ad nauseam
yuck.

They are different. But, 49% of Congress is Repubs - so they have to fight that.
But, don't worry, next election we, the people, will throw the rest of the Republicans out on their butts and then Congress can get down to business. With a Dem in the White House and a Dem controlled Congress....things will start cooking.
Climb on board the Freedom Train, brother, and help get our country straight again.

Those people are liars, lazy bums, baby killers. They lied to the people that voted for those whackos by campaigning for change, personally, it's been a bunch of bs, and they've done nothing but introduce some pork, other than that, they've whined, complained, and backed down. How typical. Any questions?

As a Dem myself, I am dissapointed on the Democrats performance so far. Having the most stubborn person in politics as the President dosent help though. Either way the Dems need some balls, which is something they have been lacking for some time.

Democrats are different. They institutionalize corruption among themselves instead of chastising their own corrupt individuals. Among Democrats, the corrupt are seen as role models. Just ask the Democrats in the black congressional caucus about William Jefferson, Democrat, Louisiana. Cold cash inspires Democrats...

And all of the left and the media wants to rant about the Presidents poor approval poll ratings.... and yet they leave out that Congress has an even LOWER approval rating.
They made promises that they can not keep....
It is disgusting.

They are different. Lots of meaningless investigations. Repeated undermining of our troops. Also, do not forget 5 months and no legislation becoming law.
While the Republicans were bad; democrats are horrid.

they are different, they are whiny, they are repetitive, they don't accomplish anything, they're irritating and they have the majority and won't be able to keep it for more than 2 years.
