Elections have consequences. The GOP House blew their chance to lead and be effective prior to 2006.

To blame this on Republicans is absurd. The blame rests squarely on the backs of these RATS who are drunk with power and a very stupid electorate who elect them.

I could see a sizaeble number of republicans switching parties in order to be able to affect legislation. With a large number of Republican switches, the conservative blue dog Dem’s would have enough numbers to challenge Pelosi’s leadership.

GOP leadership in 2005 decided they needed a "Congress they could work with" on immigration. After 2006 was when Bush's approvals really started to dive. His base got disgusted. But nobody will admit that it had to do with amnesty.
