"I also believe in consequences for ineffectiveness in execution of legislative agendas." It really isn't that. I'm disappointed in the (D)'s performance too, but they truly are a "big tent" party. They have members who are as conservative as any moderate-to-conservative Republican, and won't support the president's agenda. They are hardly just a bunch of liberals. Contrast that with the (R)'s, who don't have even ONE member "liberal" enough to cross party lines and support the president's major legislative initiatives. They vote as a goose-stepping block. There used to be liberal (R)'s, but they've been driven to extinction. In a way, it's unfortunate the the (D)'s are as they are. If they'd voted as a block, we wouldn't have "liberated" Kuwait for the Emirs or had the Iraq invasion. The unfortunate result is, when an (R) is president, there are (D)'s that will cross and vote with him on whatever misguided crap they push, but the opposite is not the case.
