The rats, media, government unions and popular culture piled on the GOP and forced them to back down. The pubbies learned their lesson. Go along to get along and maybe keep one's job. The media piled on them, but the people kept voting them into office. It was only after the GOP got control of the White House and the GOP Congress spent like drunken sailors did the GOP got their butts kicked out of office. Had the GOP held tight on spending, there would still be a GOP majority in Congress.

You are correct about that, also, if they and President Bush had actually done something ethical/moral about illegal aliens like workplace enforcement and a physical fence, we would have drastically increased our margins in both the house and senate and would be comfortably cruising to having another CONSERVATIVE president.
