At the end of Limbaugh's show today, he discussed something that Lindsey Graham said, that it was his job to work with the Democrat majority to get things done. Limbaugh disagreed, saying that it was Graham's job to defend his principles, and oppose the Democrats when they are in conflict.
If Repulbicans like Graham were to be asked if Democrats saw their job to be working with Republicans while the GOP ruled the Senate, what would these people say? They'd say things like, "well, that was them and we're different," or "we're not going to stoop to their level," or some excuse or another to explain away Democrat obstuctionist behavior. Yet over and over and over, the Republicans settle into the "go-along to get along" mode of operation.
They led the Senate like they were still in the minority, and now that they are in the minority they just want to get along.

Can anyone (in their right mind) picture Barbara Boxer or Ted Kennedy making this same statement (except in regards to a GOP majority) two years ago?!
There’s always a time and place for true bi-partisanship - but this “Immigration Reform” bill was not one of ‘em. Lindsay Graham did the GOP no favors by rolling over for the Democrats.
