Failure of the Democrats

On ARBORETUM, Scot has been posting about the failure of the Democrats to exercise the authority the voting public gave them in the last election. I agree with him.

Now there is a report on a just completed poll that shows that same voting public is mad at the Democrats for their game of shirking responsibility. Here is an excerpt:

"The Democrats in Congress have lost much of the leadership edge they carried out of the 2006 midterm election, with the lack of progress in Iraq being the leading cause. Their only solace: President Bush and the Republicans aren't doing any better.

Six weeks ago the Democrats held a 24-point lead over Bush as the stronger leadership force in Washington; today that's collapsed to a dead heat. The Democrats' overall job approval rating likewise has dropped, from a 54 percent majority to 44 percent now -- with the decline occurring almost exclusively among strong opponents of the Iraq War."

The test for the Democrats will come when they assume total control.
Will they continue to criticize and subsequently reverse the actions of the Bush gang or will they get in the driver's seat and think, "Hey, this stuff is pretty good !" ?????
Our nation's continued survival is hanging by this precarious thread
