It's become clear that we have a caretaker government filled with placeholders who are awaiting the next election.
Both parties are badly splintered; both are split on the Iraq War and immigration. An up-or-down vote of no-confidence on Alberto Gonzales' leadership of the Justice Department died on the Senate floor. Congress members have been reduced to threatening to kill one another's pork projects in appropriations bills.
I think I would prefer it if this Congress and President stuck to naming federal buildings, handing out medals, and the like. They are clearly out to do their own business and not the business of the American people.
Immigration reform? Not with this crowd. No way. They all but gave away our southern border with their last attempt at immigration reform.
Resolving the Iraq War? Forget it. Hopefully the generals or Iraq's government tell President Bush that it's time for American forces to leave, and he listens to them, regardless of what this Congress is doing.
Gonzales? Nope.
Dealing with Iran? ABSOLUTELY NOT!
President Bush is fighting both Democrats and Republicans and achieved a stalemate with the Democrats...and with his own party.
And the Democrats are blowing it BIG time. Their control of Congress is a joke; and news came this week that their approval rating has dropped to 29%, which is lower than President Bush's 33% approval rating. One commenter has observed that Congressional approval ratings have returned to 2006 pre-election levels.
This is really the party that swept back into power last November?
