Democrats don't have proud record

Let's give Democrats some credit when due.

The Democrats took over the majority in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives in January of 2007. Here are their accomplishments since then:

• The average price of gasoline has gone from $1.90 to $3.23 per gallon.

• The housing market has collapsed.

• The mortgage market has collapsed.

• The credit market has collapsed.

• The stock market is down.

• The bond market is a joke.

• Food prices are up.

• Taxes are up and going up more.

• The unemployment rate is slowly creeping up.

• We can't wiretap terrorists plotting to kill us anymore.

Good job folks. Just think what a Democratic president could accomplish.
