Democrats Can't Just Talk the Talk

If we are serious about making the Senate a serious place ( which it hardly it) besides the petty squabbling that goes on in closed hearings and the themed lunch days like " at the beach," the Senate needs a serious make over. Reid promised the American people that their Senator would work just as hard as they do *gasp! (recent polls shows Senators work on average 2 1/2 days a week). After the long MLK weekend which cut off Senate time, this weekend the Senate is not voting until Tuesday afternoon. Therefore, another long weekend is here. History only gives parties rare moments to change themselves and the course of a nation. Democrats are at this point, and we can hide away from the power (for fears of '08 blame) or we can seriously act like the party Americans believe it (and deserve).
