i m glad coburn objected. congress generally does nothing. it s not all you can list those bills and we can read them all and maybe we d like some. but it s not all inconsequential legislation. right there would be 90 votes there would be 90 votes probably to pass a food safety votes, 80 votes to pass payments to african-americans in native american farmers who for decades were essentially screwed by their government that gave different subsidies to white farmers. these things are all held up because both parties think it s all about the elections and not about the people. oh, very much so. and that happens. the republicans have done it. both sides have attacked the other. think the last time i saw polling on the lame duck section it was rasmussen and great fear about what else would happen in the lake duck session. this gives the republicans another thing to go out with in addition to the tax cultts. you spent a long time working
