Hold on it's nearly over

I think we have come to this point where the law needs to be changed relating to this lame duck session that congress takes on after elections. When we hold elections and the people elect a new representative what they are saying to the person that lost is very simple, "You no longer have permission to cast any vote on my behalf because I have now hired a new representative and you are fired, go home".

The lame duck session of 2010 is really showing its bright shiny ass even after facing the reality of the results of the mid term election. Perhaps the line of, "Well, they did it" may apply here but for the life of me I can find but one reason for this to be taking place and it's simply that there are some people that want to poke the eye of the America people in retaliation of those same mid terms.

The mindset of the liberals after electing Obama was now they were in the majority and they could and would enact any and every piece of liberal legislation ever dreamed since the ink dried on the constitution. However during the first half of the Obama administration the Republicans held firm in many votes and prohibited the libs from obtaining those dreams and they failed to get what they wanted.

They figured in the lame duck they could make up for lost ground. I don't know how much of what has been done by this lame duck can be remedied once the new members are sworn in. They will have an effect but still they face Dirty Harry in the Senate and Obama will still be on the throne.How much of a lasting effect this lame duck will have on America this election cycle I don't know. I do hope it is limited and even better than that I hope it's reversible. Congress soon ends the new year is at hand and we will have the new congress starting the new session so one way or another we will know very shortly.
