That said, I agree with all you said about the Dems being pussies. The only one who has remotely stood up lately is the President, and the Dems are not even following his lead. The Dems have the mandate, and they are blowing it.

Congress is both the House and the Senate. The House is the one based on population, and the Senate based upon equal shares of U.S. sovreignty -- which reduces to 2 votes per state.
The Dems do not have a mandate. They were the "not Bush" party when Bush was no longer running, and the emotional population put them in the majority. In two years time, most of the people who voted Democratic have realized that the Dem's agenda sucks, at least for the working people who pay the tax dollars that Congress spends. They will rightfully and soundly be pounded at the polls in November.
