"The Democrats control both houses of Congress.

I think it's pretty clear with recent events such as Joe Lieberman endorsing the human comb-over that he's a Democrat in name only. I'm pretty sure the Republicans made it clear that Smokin Joe is on their side and that they'd allow the Democrats the illusion of control if they didn't play hardball and only ushered through innocuous bills and stayed away from real investigations until 2008."

Obviously you don't know what control of Congress means, otherwise you wouldn't chose to argument with this indisputable fact. OR perhaps, it's just the itch to attack the Dem's once choice for VP, a person generally pretty far Left of the entire country, which has overwhelmed any rational sense on your part.

Quite sad actually.
