Dear Democrats...

I am a faithful voter. I would have voted for Al Gore.(If I was 18 at the time.) I voted for John Kerry. I voted for Ed Rendell. I voted for Bob Casey. I voted for a lot of Democrats in the past 3 years. I didn't always like a lot of the candidates as much you probably would have liked me to...but I supported. I recently changed my affiliation to Democrat from Independent so I could vote in primaries. I am currently in the UC Democrats at my college. I guess you could say I'm a filthy-rotten-blue bleeding-liberal. Okay, you caught me.


Now that I got that out of the way. What the hell have you been doing since you took over the Senate and House? I did the dance of joy. I walked a tall strut for at least a week after the elections were over. So how bout all these cool things I was supposed to see?

• Partisan Immigration Bill?
• Time-Table for Iraq?
• Vote of No Confidence for Gonzalez?
• Stem Cell Funding?

The linked item refers to to the recently vetoed stem cell bill. Something that would help move along gene and disease research.

What's happening out there? All these bills, no results. Lewis Black likes to say, "Democrats are the party of no-ideas and the Republicans are the party of bad ideas." I am seeing how this quote is realized. The majority of Democrats have been pushing for all of these bills and yet no results. The Republicans and their fearless leader, once again, answer to the call of the people and vote down another bill.

Wait. Let me check out that whole "will of the people"

Critics called his order a sham and said Bush should have signed into law the stem-cell bill, which polls show is backed by more than 60 percent of American voters.

As Jerry Seinfeld would say...."What's the deal with that?" I'm sorry for being angry Dems, I understand you are TRYING, but it's proving that it's not enough. With numerous Republicans not towing the line of the public opinion and President Bush vetoing every piece of paper that is put under his nose, the Democrats will still have a hell of a time. I wish I had a quote to back this up, but I recently heard on NPR about how the approval polls of the Democratic party since the elections have gone considerably down. I can't imagine why? The Dems need to get on track and make some partisan magic, or come 2008, the American people are going to be relatively tired of empty promises and big smiles.
