Who's To Blame Here?

He whose walk is blameless is kept safe, but he whose ways are perverse will suddenly fall. --Proverbs 28:18, New International Version

(Satire Mode off) Is it just me, or does it seem like the Democrats have become the party of obstructionism, stalling, antagonism, vitriol, pettiness, fishing expeditions, and negativity. They seem to have nothing to offer. They have no ideas. They're main purpose in life seems to be merely to thwart Bush, and progress, at every turn.

They lost the last election. Republicans gained seats in the House and Senate. And they just keep doing what lost them the election and all those seats... a lot of nothing but whining, and moaning, and chest-beating. Don't they recognize that this is a failed strategy? Do they really think that people like Kennedy, Reid and Pelosi are examples of what most Americans want in government?

To be sure, the Republicans are not fully "blameless" when it comes to confrontation. Lately however, it just seems that the Republicans -- the legitimately elected Majority party -- are always reacting to another Democratic attack, another threatened filibuster, another "request for more information", another delaying tactic, another unfounded allegation.

My prayer.... Lord, give wisdom and understanding to those who govern us. Open their eyes to see the folly of their ways. Help our "shepherds" to recognize that their job is to tend to their charge, not to kill each other for control of the flock. Amen.
