RE :”The fact of the matter is that the Republicans only control 1/3 of the power structure in DC as of 2011 which isn't all that long ago. You can't do much with 1/3. You can do MORE with 2/3 and if you have the whole enchilada like Obummer and the socialist Rats did in 2007-2010 you can do a lot of damage that will take a while to undo and believe me you CANNOT do it with 1/3 of the power.”

The same argument can be made by Dems in 2007 and 2008 when they took the House and had 51 in the Senate which is not a ruling majority. Just look what Republicans here said when Bush had 51 in the Senate,

In fact Pelosi (back then) was much smarter than Republicans (now). She did everything she could to allow voters to believe that Rs still controlled congress in 2008, and it worked and a part of the reason why she won so big that election.

In 2011 Dems did everything they could to point out that Republicans took over, Obama calls it the ‘Republican congress’.
And Republicans walked right into that trap, and every-other one. They are so beaten down they are working with Obama on some things like that ‘jobs’ bill and have given up on any real stands.

I do like the House paying for tuition loans with Obama-care, that was smart. I dont want to be all negative. Pelosi called it 'another attack on women' LOL.

I like to avoid flipping my arguments 180 degrees everytime power changes hands, as say Hannity does. That would make me dizzy.

No need to get dizzy when you look at it in a historical perspective and get out of the minutiae.

And I will cede that the way the Rats use power is much different than the Republicans but it must be really nice when you have most public media outlets watching your back for you. The Republicans have to walk on eggshells when trying to frame the argument and Reagan was the master of that. I will also point out a bit of deception on your part with the 51 Rat Senators in 2007. While essentially true, please remember they had 2 other "Independents" caucus with them giving them 53 members of their "caucus".

Pelosi is like Foxy Loxy ("If you tell 'em a lie, tell a big one" "Who looks nice and stupid?") in the 1943 Chicken Little cartoon. The GOP would have Henny Penny, Turkey Lurkey, and of course Chicken Little.
