RE :”Are you kidding me? There is a provable record of what the Dem-completely-controlled Congress passed from 2007 to 2010 and the actual effects of such legislation

You seem to have blacked out the 2008 election, a huge loss for Republicans. Dems went from 51 to 58 (later 60) in the Senate. Bad memories?

In 2007 and 2008 dems had 51 in the Senate which is not a ruling majority. Nearly all Republicans (here anyway) said that 51 in the Senate is not a ruling majority when that is what Bush had in his first two years,

I like to avoid flipping my arguments 180 degrees every-time power changes hands, as say Hannity does. That would make me dizzy.

YES, I KNOW DEMS DO THAT ALL THE TIME TOO. Obama and Dems will say anything to get what they want.

Did you read the part about the 2 "Independents" caucusing with the Rats giving them effectively 53? I'm confused now that that fact is in the conversation, why the 51 part was repeated?
