In Texas George W. Bush was elected as Governor in 1992 with a state legislature that was controlled by the democrats for almost 125 years, by the time he left the republicans completely swept the democrats out of the majority by a WIDE margin. We now see the democrats in Texas behaving like juveniles as they run away from their responsibilities to their constituants in a desperat attempt to thwart the will of the people.
I believe what we are seeing in Washington D.C. is a repeat of what George W. Bush did to the democrats in Texas. Ann Richards and the rest of the RATS in Texas mis-underestimated George W. Bush and had their clocks cleaned by him, and the only difference now is it's on a national scale.
2 years from now when Hillary, Daschle, Leahy, Byrd and the other obstructionist democrats are voted out of power and we have a clear majority, the democrats in Congress will run to Cuba to thwart the will of the entire country. IN SHORT.... we are witnessing the democrats imploding, and it is a beautiful thing to watch :-)
