Which campaign promises have the congressional Dems delivered on for their constituents?

Question

They've had 2 years now...I sure hope they aren't promising the stuff they already haven't delivered.

Answer 1

In U.S. Politics it is easier to block legislation from passing then to actually get things done.  Since there is a Republican president who finally discovered the power of veto in year the Dems took over, and they have only a one-seat margin in the Senate, it is hard to get things passed.  This is what you would call a gridlock government.  I wouldn't say either party is fully in charge now.

Answer 2

Not many and thatg's a fact.  I'm hoping that Obama wins along with sevral more Democrats for the house and Senate and they throw out Pelosci!  She has been the worst majority leader - unable to pull her own party together.  Any majority leader with a spine and the ability would have had Bush/Cheney impeached and standing trial by now.

Obama isn't going to put up with that kind of weakness and laziness.

Answer 3

Hope you weren't expecting anything from the democrats other than hot air. That's all the can deliver.

McCain/Palin'08

><

Answer 4

How can they deliver on them when big idiot is sitting at the top with his veto pen?

Answer 5

They promised to raise the minmum wage and they did that.

Answer 6

Among other things, they raised the minimum wage, implemented the 9/11 commission recommendations, and passed ethics legislation despite republican fillibustering.

Answer 7

the Republicans are blocking the Democrats from getting anything done.

Answer 8

None..but the very audacity of the Democrats makes this a moot point

John McCain and Sarah Palin will give the Obama*Biden team a run

I am looking forward to the bounce factor and the debates..it also will

have to do with voter fraud and who can cheat the most..be honest

cheating is just a way of life in politics...good race..for POTUS

Answer 9

The president threatens vetoes while the republicans filibuster like petulant children throwing a fit if they don't get what they want.  So the democrats have had a couple of nasty road blocks.
