I laughed when I first heard this. The Republicans were upset? Angry?
Why? Did they really expect the Democrats to “play by the rules?” Did they think that bi-partisanship went both ways? Did they assume that the Democrats would bend over and grab the ankles as did the Republicans over the 12 years they [allegedly] controlled Congress?
GET A GRIP Republicans! You play with Democrats, you play hardball or you get knocked out of the game. You expect Liberals to honor your view, or be considerate of your principles, or accept your win, then you’ve lost your mind. You have no CLUE what the nature of Liberalism is.
Never assume the best of Democrats when you get between them and their power. They don’t care about principles, laws or people for them — it’s about THEIR POWER — and they’re gonna keep it or crush you trying to.
LEARN YOUR LESSON REPUBLICANS.
Well said. Many Republicans are happily living with their heads in the sand. Maybe not all—but certainly enough—Democrats are every bit as ruthless as the hardest Kommissar who ever lived. They want Socialism, which means the POWER to enact it, and they will stop at nothing to get it.
There are no rules as far as they are concerned. People in the GOP need a good kick in the rump and they need to start realizing just who they are dealing with.
