Anyway, Rush was just talking about congressional oversight as if that is an evil word.
Fact is, republicans should have been doing congressional oversight from DAY ONE, just like they did when Clinton was president.
By refusing to hold hearings (they actually did hold some hearings, but they did not keep the administration's feet to the fire), they gave an opening for the democrats to complain about lack of oversight, push their silly "checks and balances" story as if it's the PARTIES and not the INSTITUTIONS that provide it, and now they can be seen as the party of "oversight", simply by doing their job.
I think our republicans did get complacent, and spent their time doing what they thought would get them all re-elected.
I agree. It is a major flaw in Republicans both nationally and locally. They win, they think they won over everyone for all time.
