RE:"Yawn. Now how is that their responsibility?"

They have the majority in the house and senate?

If you are referring to the Dems, they have a simple majority in the Senate....not enough to stop a filibuster nor Bush's veto.

Fact is they haven't done jack other than get elected.

You have to be talking about the GOP........they have done squat since 2000 other than spend our hard earned money.

You're right, they haven't done jack.

They could stop Iraq easily. We've reviewed it here many times, just stop the funding.

"They have the majority in the house and senate?"

And the Republicans in the Senate are breaking records for filibusters.

I suppose that filibusters only endanger the country when it is done by Democrats...

"Fact is they haven't done jack other than get elected."

They've managed to cut the earmarks in half. That, by itself is a big accomplishment. But, that isn't all they have done.
