Why We MUST elect a Democratic Congress and then Hold their Feet to the Fire

This from page 105 of the Report (thanks to commenter Serge over at Atrios):

"Fourth, the oversight function of Congress has diminished over time. In recent years, traditional review of the administration of programs and the implementation of laws has been replaced by “a focus on personal investigations, possible scandals, and issues designed to generate media attention.”The unglamorous but essential work of oversight has been neglected, and few members past or present believe it is performed well. DCI Tenet told us:“We ran from threat to threat to threat. . . . [T]here was not a system in place to say,‘You got to go back and do this and this and this.’” Not just the DCI but the entire executive branch needed help from Congress in addressing the questions of counterterrorism strategy and policy, looking past day-to-day concerns.Members of Congress, however, also found their time spent on such everyday matters, or in looking back to investigate mistakes, and often missed the big questions—as did the executive branch. Staff tended as well to focus on parochial considerations, seeking to add or cut funding for individual (often small) programs, instead of emphasizing comprehensive oversight projects."

In other words the GOP's fascination with what is in people's PANTS rather than things like POLICY has been one big royal clusterfuck of failure.

For that (amongst other things) they should be punished by losing their majority.

AND THEN, as much as we might like to exact revenge, make sure that our Democrats that WE have helped elect don't do so and move on to actual policy.
