Give Congress a chance

It’s too early to form a reliable opinion about this Congress’s personality. Maybe by this summer there may be indicators and trends.

Until then, the focus today on the liberal old time Democratic leaders who assumed mantles of leadership is missing the mark. It is all a monumental mistake of historic proportions that this is happening. The transparent political hypocrisy of Speaker Pelosi is the obvious distracter right now.

The Congress we elected is full of patriots from both Parties who will vote for the country first, then their local constituency, then their personal beliefs, and then their Party. They will not be blind lemmings who march in lock step with their old time national Party leaders. Hardball will always be played. But plots and shenanigans to gain Party political advantage will be superceded by focus on National strategies that benefit we the people.

Call me naïve. Call me practical. Call me a listener and watcher. There is something different about this Congress, and the body politic who elected them.
