The Democrats had access to the American public.
The had talkshows on every news channels every day and twice on Sunday.
They NEVER even presented ideas for decussion.

Reread the above and think about it. You really want to go with if I don't
have the opportunity to initiate a  bill you can't even come up with one to
decuss?

Oh Yeah I believe that.

 BS> IOW John, the dems will run the House as The Founders intended it to be
run.

You think  things like snubbing  fellow Californian Rep. Jane Harman, widely
acknowledged as  the most informed Democrat on the hill on intelligence and
technology matters, to step down, as the top Democrat on the House
Intelligence Committee,  in part because of criticism that she has been too
accommodating to the Republican administration and to curry favor with the
angry Congressional Black Caucus because  of perceived slights in the past
by appointing Alcee L. Hastings of Florida, who was impeached as a federal
judge and removed from the bench due to charges of accepting bribes, is an
indication of the Democrats running the House as The Founders intended it to
be run?

Yeah right.

Seems to me we just switched sleaze.
