I'm not so sure many on this board would agree. When your main form of entertainment is ranting about the horrible state of the country, the terminally disgruntled are happiest when our party is not in power.
FreeRepublic's glory day was when Clinton was president. The disgruntled "True ConservativesTM " haven't been really happy since. :~D
This seems to be the problem with the GOP in congress. These repub. senators act like they dont know what they are doing while in power. One of the reasons they have been so scared to use the nuclear option IMHO.
