Guess that whole, "100 hour" thing was just more hot air. Empty promises = democratic party.

Regardless of which clock is used, Democrats appear well on their way to accomplishing their promise. They have only two bills to go and both are scheduled for votes next week. Aiding their endeavor is Monday's Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday, when neither clock will be running.

Finished are new rules on ethics, lobbying and budgeting — part of the Democrats' 100-hour promise in November but not included on Pelosi's clock. Also completed are the passage of four bills: anti-terrorism measures, a minimum-wage increase,and expanding federally funded stem cell research, in addition to Friday's Medicare measure.

The final two bills are cutting interest rates on some student loans and recouping more money from oil royalties and redistributing it to renewable energy technologies.


So the method used for keeping the clock is more important than the actual bills?

Just something else to bitch about from the DO NOTHING lovers. Their own spent more time protecting predators and then lying about it than they did passing legislation. They are actually quite pissed that Democrats are able to show them how to run Congress for the betterment of the people and not just for the well-to-do and wealthy fat cats so they are finding every little nit to pick to make themselves feel better about getting their asses whipped last November.

Stoner..........that article wasn't even close to what you were claiming.

ECW.......help me out, what was that phrase that used to be thrown at the Democrats? Something like you're not the party that the majority elected, so that should tell you something.......

Was it, "STFU, you back-stabbing, unpatriotic, sons of bitches?" That was the one I always heard from the neocons who got their asses handed to them in the last election. I don't hear that one so much now that 67% of the country has repudiated the noecon agenda and the ill-thought out war in Iraq. Maybe if you hum a few bars...
