A Peak Inside...
Tom Delay's world.0 comments
This Washington Post article gives an interesting overview of the inner workings of the Congress these days.
It's clear from the lock-step response to DeLay's grip that whenever you see the word Congress used anywhere, it's referring to the Republican-run Congress. For good or for ill. They wanted it; they got it. In the upcoming elections, the Republicans will be hard-pressed to get the concept of Democratic obstruction to stick. The Republicans own a well-oiled machine, and all Democrats can do is watch it roll by.
Hell, as you read in this article, experienced Representatives claim they don't even get to write legislation anymore—which is supposed to be their job. Nowadays, they just get handed the legislation already written by DeLay's staffers, then complain while the Republican members vote in unison to pass it as is almost every time.
Question:
For those of you with Republican Representatives, when is the last time your Representative voted on some measure in your interest, rather than being part of the House leadership's agenda?
