The Dems took control of Congress in 06...
You been Hannitized!
This is an oft repeated lie, spoken by right wing political pundents, which has no real basis in fact.
After the '06 elections, the Senate was 49 Dems to 49 Repubs, with two independents, and one of those independents campaigned for McCain.
How does that equate to controlling the Senate?
In the House, yes...the Dems had about a 30 vote majority...out of 435 members!
Wow! That's some control of congress, isn't it?
With all due respect, Hoot? When you try and make the point that the most liberal Senator in the country Bernie Sanders shouldn't be included in the Democratic camp because he's an "independent" you're rather amusing. And yes...Joe Lieberman campaigned for McCain but he caucused with the Democrats.
