Even if you dont agree with the bills (like samcol), they were not enacted to show how bad Republicans are...they were eancted because they represent their core values and what the voters want.

Why were the Democrats elected? What was the primary platform? Ending the war in Iraq, stopping domestic spying, and even impeachment. Since then we've had one vote to end the war, Dems are voting in favor of domestic spying, and Pelosi took impeachment off the table. I'm not suggesting that the Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation Tax Act isn't important. It really, really is. That's not what they represented to the people, though. They were elected to bring the troops home, stop the spying, and remove Bush from power. It is in those pivotal areas that they are found to be wanting, and it's because of their unwillingness to back their campaign promises that I find them reprehensible.
