Flight of the Democrats
CBS News - Bayh: No Chance I’ll Switch Parties
Members of Congress give all sorts of reasons for retiring, but the reason that Democrat Evan Bayh gave is starting to sound awfully familiar. The two-term Senator from Indiana said he just couldn’t stand the partisan bickering in Washington any more.
“I’ve had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is much too much partisanship and not enough progress,” he said yesterday, announcing he would not seek reelection this Fall.
Let me see Senator Bayh, “Congress is not operating as it should?” Running up a 1.4 Trillion dollar deficit, Federal Debt over 12 Trillion dollars, Earmarks (AKA wasteful spending), waste, fraud and abuse at the hand of the United States Congress, is this the partisanship you are talking about? The Democrat majority is in charge and the American People are holding them to account. Get over it!
