Democrats are doing exactly what they promised to do. Republicans are confused by this odd approach.

Five down, one more on tap as House Democrats sprint through their list of promises, not even in sight of the 100 hours set aside for that goal.

The items passed so far would:

_make the government negotiate for lower Medicare prescription drug prices. It passed last Friday.
_expand federally funded stem cell research. It passed Jan. 11.
_raise the federal minimum wage. It passed Jan. 10.
_seek to bolster terrorism-fighting efforts. It passed Jan. 9.
_change rules governing ethics, lobbying and the budget. These changes were passed on Jan. 4-5.

Now once they impeach Bush we can all sit back and finally let out our breath. I have been holding mine since 2001.
