Why does everyone in Yahoo Answers think the imaginary Democrat lead congress has the power to do anything?

Question

Is everyone unaware that they don't have the majorities they need to vote anything through?

Answer 1

Then why does the dems blame everything on Bush?  Are they unaware that he doesn't have the authority to do anything without congressional approval?

So you're saying that even though they control congress, they are powerless?  No wonder they have the lowest approval rating of any congress in history.

Maybe they need to come up with some good ideas.

Answer 2

It doesn't, but we have to rationalize our mistakes.

Answer 3

Whenever things don't look good Republicans always start looking around for scapegoats they can blame their own mistakes on.

Whether its illegals, Democrats, or the tooth fairy - the buck NEVER stops with the Republican party (or President Bush).

Answer 4

Cons need someone to blame for their own mistakes

Answer 5

Wow--so your answer is to give the most incompetent group seen in a very long time more power?

Answer 6

Excellent point.  Reid has tried more than 50 times to get a vote-up-vote-down on Iraq spending limits and a timetable and he's been stymied by Republicans every time.
