The problem with the Demos in Congress is they are spending all of their time trying to get something on Karl Rove. Something they also promised not to do. I am afraid that the Democrats are trying to find more ways to lose the next election. Heard that some are thinking of trying to stop talk radio because its to conservative. In the words of Adm Yamamoto, after Pearl Harbor, "I am afraid that way have awaken a sleeping giant". That Giant being the Silent Majority.

Bush knows that, and Bush does not need another election. That's why he's acting like a looney. Bush does not care, he and Cheney just want more money to last them a lifetime profiting from the war.

Democrats in the Senate are stifled by Republicans and Conservatives and blue dog democrats. Biden is right. Anything the House Democrat majority comes out with which is considered liberal or left of center will be defeated either by the Senate or by the extreme right wing president. It has taken years for the Republicans to come around to troop withdrawal. Unfortunately it has cost thousands of brave lives. The Democrats were clear what they wanted. The other side of the isle has stuck with Bush no matter how nuts he really is

RE: "homejet's" comments. No, the problem with the Democrats is NOT that they're spending too much time trying to get Karl Rove; rather the problem is that there aren't enough Democratic votes to implement the change that voters chose in Nov. 2006. What we had before these elections was a BUSH RUBBER STAMP MAJORITY and they spent their time making BAD POLICY. Now, we have a BUSH RUBBER STAMP MINORITY, and that BUSH MINORITY spends its time stopping good policy. And the Dems -- now with narrow majorities in both Houses, don't have enough votes to over-ride. This means voters who want this war endedor who want attention to the deficit, tax breaks for rich people, etc., etc., will need to vote in larger numbers to send more Democrats to Congress if they expect progress. What's more, voters need to further understand -- This BUSH RUBBERSTAMP MAJORITY or MINORITY (doesn't matter which) is just as awful as Bush. They has no guts, no common sense, and no ability to represent this nation thoughtfully in any way, shape or form. They simply don't take responsibility for anything but to RUBBERSTAMP BUSH's every whim. In 2008, let's get rid of all of these Repubs!! ... and then, maybe -- just maybe -- the old-fashioned national Republican party that was personified by Rockefeller, might has at least a chance to come back, whereas now it is just plain dead.

As far as Biden ... short, sweet, simple ... BIDEN IS RIGHT!
