Err how does republicans stalling "popular bills" give them a win over the democrats? I would think if the republicans scuttled "popular" bills, that owuld give the Democrats a boost...Im confused

Because they had democratic sponsors - meaning the Dems would have used them as evidence of good work and accomplishment in the campaigns. Really - you should watch more West Wing. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

So instead they (the Dems) publicize the republicans wanting to hurt old people and scare the voters. They attempt to frighten them away from the republicans...your saying this tactic didn't work? 
[/QUOTE]All politicians try to frighten voters away from the other guy, no? It's just that "I did X, Y, and Z good things" is possibly the absolute best platform. And, stalling some bills took it away. Take note over the coming days and weeks. I bet you'll see some legislation we've been expecting for a while suddenly pop up.
As for much not getting done, I'd be quite happy if the 108th Congress would just hold off for about a year so we can catch or breath and let the economy stabalize. Fat chance that, of course. No, we must have our pork barrels now, mustn't we?
