Americans expected, and still want, the Democrats in Congress to stand up to the White House, not to cave in to it, or to try and “work with” it.

Pelosi and Reid, and the idiots at the party’s helm, think that by continuing to do nothing, all the while whining about their own impotence, they stand to gain mightily in November 2008.

They’re in for a big surprise.

If they continue the way they’re going, they’ll lose not only the independents and Republicans who voted for Democratic candidates in 2006, they’ll lose the Democrats too.
