Last I checked, Democrats still controlled the executive and one house of legislature.

And the Republicans controlled the House of Representatives. That means no one can dictate what the other side must do. There has to be compromise. That is the way it is set up. That is what the Founders intended. Could someone tell Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, and John Boehner that they are not in the majority and they cannot force people to do everything they want. That is just the way it is. It's too bad they have to be reminded...

1. Oh hell. Even when they control all three branches they still let the GOP run the show.

All the Republicans have to do is hint at a filibuster and they cave.

Last I checked, the Right owned the Media.

2. Notice how the R's are doing so well by shooting themselves in the balls

with all their bluster and ignoramus financial positions.

The Dems look positively stellar to the majority of the American people as a resiult.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is falling on his sword.

Common sense and rule of law have very little to do with how things work here anymore,

Public perception rules all
