Defending them?

Again, you missed the point entirely.

I posted that list of "accomplishments" because it shows little else besides the usual goodies distributed to favored interest groups.

"Stand up to Bush?" They didn't do anything at all, particularly relating to issues like mortgage regulations, other than to loosen credit even more. Do you see any bills relating to clamping down on the credit industry? New regulations? Tightening controls and transparency on government-backed mortgage organizations?

Do you see any evidence whatsoever on that list that, Bush or no Bush, the Congress was addressing any of the major problems we are dealing with now?

The dirty little secret is that if a Democrat had been president, the only significant thing the 2006 Congress would have accomplished is losing the war.

The Democratic Congress, run by a leftist idiot who could only get elected in San Francisco, is a failure all on its own.
