    It obviously works magically for Republicans, as it did over the last 6 years.

    Block everything the Republicans propose. Democrats will be back in the trinity in just a two election cycles. Such a great recipe for the country, eh? :roll:

    That's what the Democratic Senate did. Republicans are in control now. How about if all of the them act like grown ups for a change and get something meaningful done for the sake of the American people instead of acting like schoolyard bullies? What will Americans think if Democrats continue to obstruct? Most Democrats must be sick of their own party because, otherwise, they would have come out to vote. Do you really want them to stay home in 2016, or worse, vote Republican? What happened to Obama's cute line: "We aren't red states or blue states. We're the UNITED States"?

    Nothing like removing the blocking party from the Senate. The people have spoken. But you are correct, the pendulum will swing and not because democrats will be more loved but because everyone dislikes Congress.

    Where have you been these last six years? Asleep?

    Harry Reid has tabled over three hundred bills passed through the House, and most of them were bipartisan.

    So your master plan is that in two election cycles people will want to go back to ideology that they just historically rejected.
    Dude leftist thinking was tried and epic failed. You had your chance at control and illustrated to the nation that you cant handle it. Its like trusting your kids with the house for the weekend and coming home to find it destroyed after a raging party after they said they would take good care of it.
    Party is over.....literally.
    Chin up though, this is America and you are free to dream.

    During the mid term elections when Democrats took majority control of the Senate I remember a few on here claiming that republicans will never hold the majority again, ever. Funny prediction.

    It's not their fault, it's because their crystal ball is broken, or it went stupid on them.

    You guys keep shouting about these "300 bills" but we all know that the majority of them were sent to deliberately make the democratic senate look bad and everyone will see that if the republicans allow them to come up for a vote. I bet they won't either.

    It isn't the democrats who obstruct.

    Cry - scream - pout all you want. Chaos isn't going to get Democrats elected next time.

    Half of them had Obamacare concessions attached to them.

    Ummm . . . they already tried chaos governing in the form of, "You have to turn a bill into a law in order to find out what's in it," and that didn't work out so great for the nation's leftists; although one does have to credit Joe Biden for being correct about his observation shouted at Barack during the Dem Party leadership's Obamagasmic victory celebration.

    "This really is a big fluking deal!" he bellowed, and he was correct in that it directly resulted in the Dem Party leadership's political shellacking of 2010 and the total blow-out "Can you Dem Party leaders hear us now?!" punishment treatment of the 2014 mid term elections. So, no, going all chaos on the nation again is probably not in the Dem Party leadership's best long term interests; but hey now, you guys go ahead and go for it.
