New Congress takes office
More here: New Congress takes office Thursday, will tackle old Congress' leftovers - CNN.comAlthough Republicans retained control of the House after the 2012 elections, Democrats gained seats in that chamber. They also expanded their control of the Senate.Republicans will fill 234 seats in the new House, down from 242. Democrats will take 201, up from 193.In the Senate, voters handed two former GOP seats to Democrats for a new balance of 55-45. The 55 Democratic seats include two independents who caucus with the party.The small shift in numbers could make a difference in votes across party lines.

SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM-Ex-Sheriff Martin Howe to Will Kane in "High Noon"
"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.
-General Omar Bradley, United States Army

I hope they enjoy their current terms. I don't personally intend to vote for an incumbent for the next 6 years... especially if they were members of the 112th Congress.
Voting against incumbents until we get a Congress that does its job.

I will but will enough other people? I doubt it. It wasn't during the presidential election. I don't believe it can happen. To many freebies to give away and not enough debt yet. jmo.

I agree 100%. We will soon be even with Greece as far as being a "Moocher Nation." Originally Posted by lewisipso

Maybe we can live off the benevolence of Germany like most of the EU - there's absolutely no way that can turn out badly. Originally Posted by keith720

In other news, the Republican Party re-elected a crying Snooki doll to be their speaker.
Their constituents have proven leadership at the helm.
