I think this needs to be remembered.Republicans abused power the last 8 years,now giddy Democrats seem to be going down that way also(again).Some devoted posters are calling it the end of the GOP and that DNC is forever the party with a mandate by the American people.WRONG.......


Just because a majority wins or wants something that doesn't mean they can do whatever they want,we have a Constitution and Bill of Rights that prevents the 51% from being tyrants to the 49%.

The last 8 years....7/30/07 to 7/30/15 has been a cluster. Republicans did what? Tried to stop Obamacare, NDAA, stem the tide of illegal aliens and tried to question Holder and Clinton in separate hearings about corruptness within the regime. They were blamed for filibusters not of their making.

What kind of government will we have later this century? Pick up the book "1984" and learn.
