They've only controlled the Senate for 1 day

They controlled the House, Senate AND White House from 2000-2006. We got the "Patriot" Act, Part D and the beginning of the "too big to fail"/bailout policy that was continued under Obama. No thanks. I'm tired of getting bent over by people that are supposed to be on my side. Screw the GOP. I'm done with them. Again, anyone willing to continue to vote for GOP candidates, as Patrick Henry so succinctly put it: May their chains rest lightly and may posterity forget they were our (spineless, traitorous) Countrymen.

You better brush up on your history. The Senate was either split, or under Dem control the whole Bush 43 presidency. The Patriot Act was overwhelmingly supported by the US population. I have no Idea what legislation you are talking about with the “too big to fail/bailout policy”. If you mean the TARP, it was passed in the Democrat controlled congress. Remember, TARP was a loan which was charged to Bush budgets, but was largely paid back during Obama’s administration. It was “free money” in the Obama budgets which was not charged to his deficits.
