Politiicans Who Pass Lame-Duck Legislation

Rush had this story today, and of course it's pretty interesting. If the Dems are voted out of office in November, it's because the people don't like what they're dling. Should they be allowed to pass unpopular legislation after they've been informed in no uncertain terms that the people don't like their legislation?

Story #1: Dems to Pass 20 Bills During Lame Duck Session?

RUSH: Look at this, from Alexander Bolton of TheHill.com: "Democrats are considering cramming as many as 20 pieces of legislation into the lame-duck session they plan to hold after the Nov. 2 election. The array of bills competing for floor time shows the sense of urgency among Democratic lawmakers to act before the start of the 112th Congress, when Republicans are expected to control more seats in the Senate and House." Now, 20 pieces of legislation in a month and not one of them will be a tax cut bill. If they do this, Obama may not be able to protect the peasants with the pitchforks. If they do this, this will be a naked expression of disrespect and "up yours" as a statement from the Democrats to voters. And it won't bother 'em. They'll do it anyway.
