I do blame the go along to get along members of the 80's and 90's Congress. They gave their proforma speeches about the excesses of the Dums and went off to play golf or tennis.

When forming opinions it is helpful to have your facts straight. The Democrats controlled both houses of Congress from the sixties until 1994 when the Republicans under Newt Gingrich were able to gain control of the House by a small majority. Even now with small Republican majorities in both houses the rabid minority of Democrats is able to manipulate and violate the rules to maintain effective control if not actual control.

I am not pleased either that we have evolved into what we are today but to say a pox on both your houses is to not consider all the facts.

Under the circumstances, it is amazing what Reagan was able to accomplish and what Bush is accomplishing today.

Yes it is so funny how the MINORITY Dums have so much POWER NOW, that they are not in POWER. You didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. Try reading.
