PEORIA - Former U.S. Rep. Bob Michel, the longest-serving minority leader in the nation's history, said Wednesday that Republicans in Congress will "rue the day" they shut Democrats out of the lawmaking process during the past 12 years of GOP control in the House.
The former Peoria lawmaker criticized his fellow Republicans for running a Congress that he found to be "too autocratic" on too many occasions.

Yes, the democrats were so much more inclusive and accommodating to the republicans during the 40 years or so that they had control of the House, weren't they. Give me a break.
I remember this RINO.
Back in the days when we had a 100 seat deficit and the order of the day was to BOHICA for the Dems.
BOHICA = Bend over, here it comes again.
Bite-me Bobby boy:
what came around didnt go near enough around
This is Exhibit A to why Michel needed to be ousted 12 years ago.
And of course this didn't include the 40 years prior to 1994 when Republicans were shut out of the process that almost turned this country into a giant welfare state.
If you thought they were poor losers, you ain't seen nothing yet.
You have mail.
The longest serving MINORITY leader. That says it all!
Shut up Michel, you puke. You were part of the problem, NEVER part of the answer and that is why your ass was bounced.
Now eff you, and go away and enjoy your generous retirement package.
Actually - I remember quite a few articles of the republicans treating the dems much better than the dems were in power and how they treated the republicans...
Just another reflection upon the LYING HYPOCRISY that is the core of the socialist libs.
Because of Bob's catering to the Dems the process of beating them was made exceptionally harder. Bob should do like old soldiers...
Not only are Demoncrats poor losers, they are also poor winners (but great whiners)
I hope the Dems -- especially the retired, senile ones -- just keep jabbering away in their typical over-the-top manner. Thanks to the election results, the sheeple are finally getting at least a glimmer of how incredibly goofy, venal and childish these people are.
Another RINO having his last breath on earth....
There's a reason for that, and you think he would have figured it out by now.
What a pile of baloney. They voted for the War. They helped the GOP push thru all the pork. They helped the moderate GOPers block immigration reform. They joined with McCrazy in pushing thru campaign finance reform. What did the GOP do that they did not participate in?
That loser was content to take a few scraps from the rats, like a dog under the table.
ALMOST turned this country into a giant welfare state????
