I still think they are just posturing at this point as the majority of them are all RINO's. Given that every freakin' thing coming from the Dems is horrible - it is very easy for the Republicans to just sit on the sidelines and ride the tide out and vote no on everything and look good. The biggest mistake they continue to make however is that they forget to remind the rest of the public that the Democrats have the supermajority and don't need them anyway. Everything that comes from Congress is 100% owned by the Democrats. Life or death of their careers and party are within their own hands. .-= The BoBo´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoboFiles/~3/unyGil63HDs/" rel="nofollow">American taxpayers getting scalped!</a> =-.

It's Damn the Torpedoes. With control of the Hill and the Oval Office, the Democrats, quite rightly, believe this is their best opportunity to "fudamentally transform" America, in the President's own words. As for the Democrats ignoring the will of the voters with respect to this being a representative republic: the only opinion polls that matter take place every other November. Elections have consequences. I’m with jd. It’s Damn the Torpedoes.
