Foolishly, I thought Obama had something to bring to the party. I am so disappointed on so many levels. Is there any way to gather some of the good guys&gals to rout the entrenched parties?

This is just embarrassing to watch. Thanks for this post Jon, I needed a laugh this afternoon : ) All hail Republicans! ; ) I wouldn’t disagree with you Kagro, but the Dems do have a singular flair for shooting themselves in the foot.

It's 2017, and President Mitt Romney has majorities of 239 in the House and 60 in the Senate. Is he going to crawl on his knees to Kay Hagen, offering her the world for a little bipartisanship? Just a little thought experiment.

From health care reform to Afghanistan, the popular sentiments of the majority seem to mean very little on Capitol Hill. But don't despair, soon the Dems will be in the minority again and can go back to claiming that they can't do anything because they don't have the 51/60/65/75 votes.

I'm pretty sure it's connected to the power, not the party label. Frankly, I wouldn’t be likely to believe Greens, either. I’m pretty sure it’s connected to the power, not the party label.
