Since the election is over, I'm back to researching and

for all you dems who think it's the pubs doing all the obstruction and blame them all the time, here's a little tidbit for you:

DEMOCRATS RESPONSIBLE FOR GRIDLOCK

Americans are giving the Democratic-run Congress failing grades after five months of bickering and staemeate that has stalled or killed their chief legislatie priorities. 

The Democrats’ latest report card came last week in a Gallup Poll (remember them that dems seem to like so much?) that showed their job-approval ratings had sunk to 29 percent, several points below even President Bush’s low job-approval numbers, which Gallup said were “holding steady” at 33 percent since April.

An Associated Press survey reinforced Gallup’s numbers, showing the Democrats’ job-approval numbers had fallen five points in the past month alone.

 “What people are seeing is gridlock and dashed hope for the new Congress. Voters are telling us they want the people’s business done. They want solutions and cooperation."

 What you are seeing is less ideology and partisanship among the mainstream public, and this could hurt Democrats as much as it hurt the Republicans seven months ago.”

Democrats took control of Congress promising swift action on a broad range of reform proposals that included raising the minimum wage, cutting student-loan interest rates, negotiating lower drug prices under Medicare, funding for stem-cell research and approving the remaining homeland-security recommendations by the 0/11 Commission.

To date, none of these have been enacted, falling victim to a failure by the House Democrats to compromise on their demands or gridlock in the Senate, where Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid seems  incapable of moving any legislation through that chamber despite a 51-seat majority. Democratic officials say the fault likes with Republicans. “Obstructionist Republicans blocking America’s priorities are bound to impact the numbers,” said Karen Finney.

But Democrats control the legislative calendars in both chambers and the committees that produce all the bills. They are fully in charge of the machinery and have sole responsibility over its operation.

Now, pay attention, please. I say this again -- this article was written back in 2007. I emphasized some paragraphs to show that Harry Reid, even back then, was playing King of the Hill and didn't care about being bipartisan. 

I really, really emphasized the last paragraph because you can't deny that the problem was the Democratis. Like some posters tried to point out and others stopped short of calling them a liar, Democrats owned Congress for 2 years prior to 2009.

Now that most of yesterday's spots were won by Democrats, we will have the same problem that we've been having SINCE 2006 and I don't see where anything will change. Harry Reid is still in charge and will still obstruct. So, stop denying where the problem lies -- it won't get better, it will only get worse.
