Yeah, that looks about right. I don't like the way republicans have handled their business since... well, since the Bush years, but specifically since they won back the House. I don't like the way they've chosen debt reduction over job creation as their #1 issue (this also goes for Obama).
I don't like the way they've refused to work with Obama despite him being as moderate as they could possibly have hoped for with a democratic President.
At the state level, I don't like how they've handed the responsibility for paying down budget deficits to the middle class. Cuts in education, public safety, state jobs, all cuts that affect the poor and middle class MUCH more than the rich, whom they have refused to even discuss raising taxes even a penny on despite all reason and common sense.
And I've already gotten into this whole voting rights debate here and their proposals to limit student and minority voting under the guise of "fraud prevention."
That said, the democrats had it all in the palm of their hand and could have really done some positive things, but as usual they didn't have the spine to stand up for the middle class and caved when the GoP attacked them.
Lord, this country BADLY needs another party because with the two we have, I'm not sure there is a "lesser" of two evils anymore.
