[QUOTE="JoshuaW, post: 27899174, member: 121870"] For the past six years Democrats have had no voice in American government, and they expect to regain that voice after the November election. But during the Clinton administration Republicans fought and impeded every piece of legislation, every appointment offered by the Democrats. They even used their Congressional majority to impeach President Clinton, in the words of Newt Gingrich "because we could". Republicans have demonstrated they will block even legislation that will benefit the majority of Americans simply because they don't want Democrats to be able to take credit for it, such as national healthcare. My question, do you believe Republicans would permit Democrats to govern even if they held a majority, even if they regained the White House? Or would they act as they did before 2000, as a subversive force protected by the Constitution. Would Fox News continue to create misinformation, fomenting hate to lay the groundwork for an eventual return of Republican rule? Democrats have always referred to Republicans as "honorable opponents", Republicans simply consider Democrats as the enemy. I'm beginning to agree with James Carville, who said "when your opponent is drowning, throw the bastard an anvil." [/QUOTE]
