Its not like the Democrats haven't played dirty pool for the past two years when they had the numbers. Payback is a bitch and every dog has its day. Enjoy the next two years of payback Democratic puppets.

I'll happily keep pointing out the unprecedented ridiculousness of the current GOP incarnation as long as their minority side is acting outrageously irresponsible compared to the other.

Have the Dems forced a record nearly 200 filibusters in 2 years? Cloture votes on everything? Blocked routine funding bills for weeks just because they didn't like the President? Naw.

Has the GOP? Absolutely.

Nascar, you say the Dems have done the same during the past two years. No, they haven't. And they didn't in the past with Bush, nor with Clinton. Either did the GOP.

No other minority Senate has been as obstructive. Voting records of the Senate are public and on the internet. Feel free to post it if you have it.

The minority GOP has obstructed and forced the Dems to get 60 in a cloture vote on every vote that the Constitution says needs 51.

And now the GOP is so brazen they are putting it in writing, that they are publicly throwing a temper tantrum, blocking everything - DADT, START, funding, etc - until they get tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans. They are willing to throw 98% of Americans under the bus. They are blowing it, just like Gingrich did.

Dell, you say payback is a bitch? Yes, it will be. The GOP only won seats in the House. They are still the minority party in the Senate after Jan. 1. Reid is still in charge.

The minority GOP is going to lose their filibuster capability the first moments the new Senate opens, when the Dems change the Senate rules on them.
