I am actually hoping for gridlock because of this. There has to be a silver lining somewhere.
You CAN? On what basis?
I don't recall that happening int he last 6 years while the Republicans had majority and I find absolutley no rationale for expecting (or even hoping) that it will mysteriously begin to happen now.
I also am beyond perplexed by so many Freepers saying things like "now the Dems will be forced to ..."
WHEN have they been forced to do anything?
WHEN have they been forced to make good on their talk?
WHEN have they been forced to be even remotely consistent?
WHEN have they been forced to so much as obey the law?
WHEN have they been held accountable for their actions?
WHEN have they been held accountable for their words?
I do not see it in recent history - at all.
HOW can I intelligently/reasonably imagine that it may begin now?
I cannot.
