LBJ Thank you for Vietnam. I'm sure all of us Americans are happy about you and the democrats getting us deeply involved in Vietnam that caused over 50,000 Americans to do for a bullshit cause. What a Great Society that was. Americans dying for a bullshit cause. But, hey, at least it's can be called the "Great Society" era. The only good thing was the Civil Rights Act

This is pretty much the same logic that Pelosi used to justify the dems loss, saying that they did too good of a job, and that's why they lost. What boggles me is the logic the dems and media have used to come to their conclusion. The stimulus....When it was being debated in congress the dems flouted it as their grand plan to save the country. The people disagreed. Then come the elections, and all of a sudden the dems are backtracking on it saying it was introduced during Bush's term, and it's the republicans fault. So which way do the dems want it? Their achievement, or the republicans folly? Health Care. The populace, at least according to polls for whatever they are worth, was opposed to it. Pelosi spit in the faces of the voting populace and democracy..."We wont' find out what's in the bill until it's passed" and her and her dem controlled congress forced it through. Wall Street reforms needed to be addressed, DADT is antiquidated. These were no brainers, despite the fact that a republican controlled congress probably wouldn't have touched them. START is a complete political sham. Even if both Russia and the US decreased their nuke stockpile to 1% of their respective current levels, there would still be enough WMDs between the two of us to thouroughly fark up the world. And what sense does it make to disarm when nations like North Korea, Iran, and possibly others are working in the opposite direction? So yeah...their legislation did affect a lot of people...the black plague affected a lot of people too, as well as the Spanish Inquisition and other deplorable historical events. Doesn't mean it's a good thing. Success can't be simply calculated by the numerical impact it has.

Say it with me Mr President..... suck it bitches! I am not a fan of every thing passed and I think it is sad that we had to dangle Christmas over the republicans heads like a t-bone to get anything done. However you cannot deny the efficacy of this congress. Bills that needed to get passed got passed. Then again, thanks to politicians who are more worried about pleasing their lobbyist buddies and their corporate leash holders things that needed to get passed also fell victim to bullshit and stalling.
