Agreed here, I think that the Congress should go back to how it was when it was first started. The members held other jobs and only worked on Capitol Hill part of the year. That was the whole pupose of the recess.

I can completely agree with that alienist. Only to reconviene in the time of national emergency.

I don't look for much change either. A lame duck president and a senate majority that still doesn't have 2/3 vote is a sure combination to accomplish little. Bush will probably make use of the line-item veto right. IMO, the internal struggles of the democrats results from the fact that they have sat on their haunches and haven't tried to establish and develop any concrete plans and strategies.

I'm very jaded by the entire political process. They all seem to have forgotten the working people. Big business and special interests are the rule of the day.
