The sound of one small hand clapping for all the New Direction legislation by the Democrats in Congress












Harry, "The war in Iraq is lost" Reid. Harry, Nancy Pelosie New Direction =RETREAT

From The Wall St. Jrnal Best of the WEB James Taranto DEC. 14 2007

Just Wait Till Next Year!The Democrats are wrapping up their first year in the congressional majority, and pretty much everyone agrees that it has been, to be charitable, less than a rousing success. Here is a comprehensive list of their legislative accomplishments:
An increase in the federal minimum wage, to $5.85 an hour from $5.15, effective July 24, 2007.
An increase in the federal minimum wage, to $6.55 an hour from $5.85, effective July 24, 2008.
An increase in the federal minimum wage, to $7.25 an hour from $6.55, effective July 24, 2009.
That's it. Other than that, the Democrats have failed at everything they have attempted, from routine matters like relief from the Alternative Minimum Tax to ambitious projects such as turning Iraq into a haven for al Qaeda.
Well, they did try to Cut and Run and lose the war in Iraq, insult a genuine war hero, Gen. Petraeus and are upset that the "surge" could 'hurt them in 08' and are praying for the economy to fail before then. Does that count?
