Is this the worst Congess we've ever had?

Question

Whatever happened to all of the campaign promises? Have they actually accomplished anything in the last two years?

Answer 1

I happen to thinkso, but he next maybe worst yet.

Answer 2

Not sure it is the worst, but if not it must be very close to the worst.

Sure there are filibusters and vetoes, but these people don't even try. If they passed good legislation and it was vetoed I could forgive them because at least they did the right thing.

I can't forgive the way they just knuckle under.

Answer 3

Bush vetoes and Republican filibusters = inability to accomplish anything.

Answer 4

They have done nothing.  They proved they are the typical liberal democrats, all talk and no action.  They'd have gone far if they had chosen to work with Bush instead of against him.  He told them several times he was going to veto their bill and rather than change it, they went ahead and tried to send it through.  Bush made good his promise and vetoed them.  The only bill the passed with no aversion was the one that gave all senators a pay increase for doing nothing.

The whiners are all going to blame Bush for his vetoes but he did warn them and they still screwed up.

Answer 5

No the one before this was the worst one ever they passed whatever the idiots Bush and Cheney wanted. The current one is trying to change that but Bush keeps vetoing it.

Answer 6

Congress always sucks,but having the democrats as the majority just makes it worse.

Answer 7

If Bush and the OBSTRUCTIONIST Republicans would get out of the way, the Democratic Congress would be accomplishing a LOT of good legislation that would help the vast majority of Americans!

VOTE OBAMA in '08!!

Answer 8

Can't say for sure, but it certainly is very far from being the best. Or even mediocre.

--

Whining that Bush is preventing them from doing things doesn't wash. The Republican Congress under Clinton was able to accomplish a lot more than this Democrat Congress, and it did not have the numbers to override vetoes, either.

Answer 9

This is definitely the worst.  9% approval rating should say it all.

Answer 10

This is why Americans have become so frustrated with our political system. Both democrats and republicans are to blame, as the corruption from lobbyist and power hungry politicians is slowly destroying our country. For decades, even more, politicians make empty promises for the election process, and stolen the trust out of the American people.

Answer 11

politics suck
