Letter: Democrats are no better than GOP

Friday, May 4, 2007 | 7:04 a.m.

The thrust of the Democrats' message in the last election was that they were going to show us how to govern. To date not one of their 100-hour initiatives has been signed into law and so far the main thrust of their efforts has been the ongoing investigations of the executive branch.

All their efforts are focused on getting elected in 2008 and not doing the people's business. The orchestration of the war funding bill sent to the president on the anniversary of his "Mission Accomplished" speech is an example of their petty politics.

I had sincerely hoped that the Democrats would show us how to govern, but they are proving to be no better than the Republicans. I think we need to pull the chain on both parties.
