"Apparently they don't like to have a Republican president and Republican Congress, they would like to go back to the days, when they were a minority and the Dems rolled right over them."Why then -- despite the fact that the GOP now controls the Presidency, Senate and Congress, don't they steam "roll" over the minority Democrats??
We prayed for it; We got the majority, and yet the GOP is STILL playing a "prevent offense" against Kennedy and Feinstein.The GOP ought to be stomping on them, but all they want to do is "play nice" and impress the "mushy-middle."

Good question. I think the answer is not really that they try to appease the people in the middle, but that
1. they don't have sufficient majority in the Senate to really do that
2. they are so used to being a majority, they haven't figured out how to use their power.
That's why I think the answer is to elect more Republicans, increase their majority ratio, so they will be able to get bill through and judges approved, without having to beg the Democrats.
