Congressional Scorecard

It is time for us at the Inkwell to give you the scorecard for the Congress for Dec. 07. A review of past scores: Aug--step backwards, Sept--step backwards, Oct--step backward, and Nov was a no step.

Now on to the scores for Dec 07.

1--Dems cave on war funds--backwards

2--extend working age of airline pilots--backwards

3--Congress gives up on SCHIP--backwards

4--Sanctions for Darfur--forward

5--Passes weak energy bill--backward

6--makes no-call list permanent--forward

7--cut back on nukes--forward

8--9000 earmarks for war fund bill--backward

Total is 2 steps backwards for the month. They were sent to Washington for change, nothing changed! In the 5 months of our scoring the Congress has taken 5 steps backwards. And these are some of the people that are running for the presidency.........and you expect change? Good luck with that fantasy!
