37. Y'know, when Congress goes on these mammoth vacations....

..... why don't Dems STAY and do some work....what they can.... And make a big deal out of it. Be very very visible that they are still there doing SOMETHING.

Oh sure, they cannot pass legislation, but that can (visibly) work on concocting bills, or preparing for when the GOP finally return (to pretend to be working).

For all I know they may already do this....except no one hears or sees it. They need to somehow be up front about staying and working a real work schedule.

I know....it's hard to get a message across in the Right Wing media that dominates these days. The entire Dem Congressional Reps could be out paving roads and fixing pot holes and Wolfie Blitzer would say a word about it.
