Facile points. If you want the Democrats to do something, say what they should do. Keep in mind that there aer not even 50 Democrats in the Senate, so their legislative power is limited. Or, to put it another way, people who blame the Democrats for not being able to override a Bush veto simply don't understand how the system works. (Or they do understand but prefer to take a cheap shot anyway.)
Also, check your usage of capital letters and apostrophes. When you say "the democrat's six months in power" that means something entirely different from "the Democrats' six months in power". It is particularly bad to fail to capitalize a proper noun that can function equally well as a common noun, and the position of the apostrophe lets us know whether you are using the possessive to apply to one person (the democrat's) or several (the democrats').
You may think correcting grammar is cheap and easy, but I figure if you have in fact written a grammatically correct sentence, but one which has a meaning completely different from what I think you mean, than some clarification is in order.
