Judging this Congress as the most dishonest ever would be a tough call; I'm not going to make it as I do not know enough about all the different congresses. Regardless of the "most" it is extremely dishonest just the same as offering anything of worth is not what they have come to do. They won last November by saying nothing and this is what they are doing right now, nothing.
The Democrat Majority is in place for one reason and one reason only; power. This Congress is their precursor to 2008; what they will offer after that is anyones guess as they are only familiar with the tactics they have employed from the beginning of the Bush Presidency.
They appear to be the insurgency in our midst; no goals beyond running the present leadership out. They hurt our efforts daily in Iraq and elsewhere with their theatrics and misleading statements.
Senator Jon Kyl of Arizona has an essay up this morning, "Up All Night," as does Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, "Dark Night of the Senate." Sigmund, Carl and Alfred also has a very timely piece, 'Feeling' History's Future"
Obviously preaching to the choir, but the choir really needs to kick it in right about now. The new "leadership" has done nothing but propagandize about the Iraq theater from day one; they're painting September's report as failure today. What kind of argument is that?
"How did it come to pass that an opposition's measure of a president's foreign policy was all or nothing, success or "failure"? The answer is that the political absolutism now normal in Washington arrived at the moment--Nov. 7, 2000--that our politics subordinated even a war against terror to seizing the office of the presidency." - Daniel Henninger - WSJ 11/18/05
