If we regain the Senate again, suppose they will implement that stupid power sharing again? If we gain the power, let's keep it this time. The Dems sure haven't shared much with us.

The power-sharing agreement was created mostly because the GOP thought the odds were high that Thurmond would not live long enough to retire from the Senate-- which would have handed the Democrats the Senate (without Jeffords).

They thought that the Democrats would be nicer to them once Thurmond died if they were nice before he died.
