Republicans spend the last 6 years neutering the minority better than any in recent history, and get all hot and bothered when they have to taste just a little bit of their own medicine, after just a week.

No one's had a long majority in both houses and the executive in recent history. Just the first 2 years under Clinton, and before that the Democrats had control of the House for 40 years, with several full controls by the Dems. To be honest, considering how poorly the Republicans have been treated as minority since the last time they had complete control under Eisenhower, I'm surprised it went so easy on the Dems.

Anyway, both sides like to complain about how unfair the system is to them, but neither seems terribly interested in improving it. I wonder why that is? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
