109 Reasons To Dump The 109th Congress -
We need a new Congress? Here's why:

1. Congress set a record for the fewest number of days worked 218 between the House and Senate combined.

2. The Senate voted down a measure that urged the administration
to start a phased redeployment of U.S. forces out of Iraq by the
end of 2006.

3. Congress failed to raise the minimum wage, leaving it at its
lowest inflation-adjusted level since 1955.

7. The chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public
Works thinks global warming is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated
on the American people.

8. The House leadership held open a vote for 50 minutes to twist
arms and pass a bill that helped line the pockets of energy
company executives.

9. Congress fired the Special Inspector General for Iraq
Reconstruction, the lone effective federal watchdog for Iraq
spending, effective Oct. 1, 2007.

10. The Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee thinks the
Internet is a series of tubes.

- snip -

109. There were just 12 hours of hearings on Abu Ghraib. (There were more than 100 hours of hearings on alleged misuse of the Clinton Christmas card list.)
