One message that came through loud and clear in the election was the low regard with which the voters hold the congress. Turnover is so great that about 20% of the members of the new House will be first time members of congress. In the Senate, more than half of the senators are now in their first term. So, I feel compelled to congratulate Congress on its just completed leadership elections in which all of the leaders in both parties were re-elected. For Republicans, there is at least the argument that they have now been chosen by the people to put forth their solutions so that the carry over leadership are the bearers of new policies. For the Democrats, however, the re-election of everyone in the leadership is an announcement to the American people that as a party congressional Democrats do not give a rat's behind for the views of the people. So once again, Is say congratulations and thanks for making your contempt for the American people so clear.
