The Republicans are taking exactly the wrong lesson from this. They should be like Howard Beale, doing the "I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!" thing and having a "My way or the highway attitude."

I would never have this attitude if the Dems weren't the slimy, nauseating crew they are.

But this is the reality of the political landscape.

The Republicans MUST start behaving as the majority party--get things they way you want them. If you risk upsetting the apple cart and losing control of Congress, maybe that's not such a bad thing IF you have the courage of your convictions and live by them. If you believe your way is correct, then why the heck aren't you legislating that way?

Answer: I don't think many Republicans are really Republicans. They LEAN that way but are too damned timid to LIVE that way. They are willing to risk our lives and lifestyles, but are they willing to risk their jobs?

You're Republicans who are in charge of the government; behave like Republicans who are in charge of the government.

I can't think of a Democrat bill that has been passed into law in recent years. Maybe some dumb resolution recognizing some dumb American, maybe, but nothing of significance.

We haven't gotten all that we wanted, but I don't think the Rats have gotten anything that they wanted.
