Way back when, the democrats were always cordial to republicans, they owned the house for 40 years and had no fear of ever losing it....they have that fear now and the truth about democrats is coming out for even the stupid to see...

Reagan got much of what he wanted because the democrats feared his popularity with the average citizen...Lets face it, in one election he lost only 1 state in the electoral college..(If my old memory serves me correctly).thats the fear of the democrats. Anyone else in power...

please correct me if I am wrong on Reagans election. don't remember if it was the first or second term...

Senator Dole was know as the tax collector for the democrats...another neutered republican man...no wonder he became the spokesman for some erectile dyfuntion medication after he left politics...

I have to disagree...I don’t think they fear us at all. We are a problem..no question about it but that fear of the American people has long since passed. It has been replaced with arrogance, cockiness, and discovery of how to force issues on us through unconstitutional means. They believe they are ‘bullet proof’. Frankly, I think we should show them otherwise.
