How many days does he thing the average American working parent works?), what warrants a thread being started? One single day being taken off by the newly Democratic Congress for freshmen Senators to get back from orientation and for a football game (I notice the "freshman orientation" part is being left out of a lot of posts on other sites about this- I doubt, were it just the football game, that the day would have been taken off. Again, bad PR move on their part, because "football game" makes better press than "freshman orientation"). At this point, it seems like much ado about nothing. In a few weeks, if they are back on the Republicans' old two-and-a-half day schedule, you bet I'll be spitting mad. Because they ARE my party, I do hold them to a higher standard. 
We'll see about the tax cuts thing-- looks promising, I agree, but I ain't getting my hopes up until the votes are cast. Well, fingers crossed. Thanks for posting that link, Danzig. |
thanks GR...i really wasn't singling anyone out, it was definitely a generalization.
but i'd rather have taken tomorrow off myself, sleep off all the beer....
just seems like whatever party is in control does whatever the other did before, and got blasted for....
