Absolutely true. Remember when the Senate was evenly divided under Bush? The GOP decided to "share" chairmanships even though the VP gave them control of the Senate. When Jumpin' Jim Jeffords made his move, sharing was over and the Dems immediately shut out the GOP from all power positions.
The GOP is stupid to play nice with people who want them eliminated.
Yes, I remember that stupid arrangement in the Senate, the slimey rats pulled a fast one on our dumb@ss GOP senators. :0(
