GOP Cut and Run !

Advantages and disadvantages of winning and losing the majority.

Lame-duck Congress may run out the clock.:cool:


Congress will convene on Tuesday for what some fear will be the lamest of lame-duck sessions, and GOP leaders have decided to take a minimalist approach before turning over the reins of power to the Democrats. Rather than a final surge of legislative activity, Congress will probably wrap up things after a single, short week of work. They have even decided to punt decisions on annual government spending measures to the Democrats next year.

That will mean this Congress will have spent the least time in session of any in at least half a century, according to Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein, congressional historians and the authors of "The Broken Branch," a critical look at recent Congresses. In the time they have met, lawmakers have failed to approve a budget resolution or pass at least eight of the 11 annual spending bills.

50 years huh? :cool:

The Demo's wanted there opportunity, they got it. You think this is a lame duck Congress, wait till the dems take over. And then wait another two years. There will be plenty of supoena's flying around but that about all that's gonna happen.

With a track record like the Republicans have, I find it hard to believe the Democrats could top them.:wtf:

We'll know in two years. It could be the shortest majority ever.
