When do we stop blaming Democrats?

Democrats are a void in the American political system.
They have no spokeman. Or woman, either, despite Hilary's attempts. Their leaders are compromised, buffoons, or charletans.
They are bluster in a cheap suit, barely able to threaten action, much less act. Their worst threat is to filibuster - they cannot do more than stall.

So why do we continue to blame them for Republican failures?

Republicans have control. Polls be damned, indictments be damned, media be damned. The party is STILL able to push through any legislature it wants, just by showing up and voting.

Why aren't they?

is it because they might lose the next election if their popularity falls?
Lose it to whom?
Besides, it looks like a Republican loss next time anyway. What have they got to lose?

Everything, I guess.
The lower ranks have lost faith in the upper ranks. And bloggers don't pass laws.
So, we go out, not with a bang but with a whimper?
One appropriate for whipped dogs?

This, then, is what the men in Iraq are dying for. Their bravery buys time and opportunity, which is then wasted by the Washington benchwarmers.
Shame on you all. Get back in there and do America proud.
