Democrat Do-Nothings

Can you name a single piece of legislation passed by the Democrats in this congressional session? I didn't think so. Outside of seeking to surrender in Iraq, they've accomplished little to nothing.

Can't say I'm surprised.

In the heady opening weeks of the 110th Congress, the Democrats' domestic agenda appeared to be flying through the Capitol: Homeland security upgrades, a higher minimum wage and student loan interest rate cuts all passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.

But now that initial progress has foundered as Washington policymakers have been consumed with the debate over the Iraq war. Not a single priority on the Democrats' agenda has been enacted, and some in the party are growing nervous that the "do nothing" tag they slapped on Republicans last year could come back to haunt them.

When they fail to accomplish anything of significance, they'll just blame the GOP anyway.
