'After a month of the American people voicing unrelenting outrage to their elected representatives about the level of spending, debt and government intervention in their lives, a beleaguered and unpopular congressional majority returns to its haven of Washington this week.'

this is the opening sentence in his washington post diatribe....fuck you demint...this is from republicans who didn't give a shit about any of these things for eight years.

1. unpopular congressional majority?

If they are unpopular why are they the majority?

3. They'll be unpopular if they don't do their jobs

and that means passing meaningful health care reform, not just a mandate for all of us to be forced to buy an inferior and dangerous product in the form of for profit health insurance as it's now defined.

In fact, they'll be so unpopular there will be a rout in 2010 as disgusted Democrats stay home and a repeat of 1994 occurs, and for exactly the same reason.

Few are going to bother to make the effort to vote for a Democratic majority that is too cowardly to do its job.
