As the good folks over at the QC Times contemplate how they will best be able to help return Messrs. Loebsack (sp) and Braley to Washington,voters in the Quad Cities should consider just what these guys have helped their Party and their president NOT do.
As President Obama gears up his billion dollar campaign to convince Americans that the GOP is the embodiment of a “do-nothing” congress, Loebsack and Braley should be asked why Democrats have refused to pass an annual budget, in defiance of law, in almost three years, two of which they were in complete control of both houses of Congress and, of course, the Executive branch.
Want an answer? It’s not one that the “dynamic duo” will want to give, but Harry Reid has explained why he and the Democrats will not even propose a budget.

Harry doesn’t see any advantage to that! He and his fellow Democrats…including our two area congressmen, prefer instead to have the Republicans make the tough calls and propose measures to get the US economy back from the abyss President Obama has brought it to the brink of, and sit back, with the help of their media allies, including the QC Times, and criticize, condemn, and demonstrate their phony compassion.
