Also, lol no. 10 years ago I would have agreed, but republicans have shown they are not willing to play nice or by any sort of ettiquette for the greater good. I don't see why democrats should always be expected to be the bigger party even after the GOP spits in their face time and time again. They would never do the same. <cite>Ninjaluver posted [p:976843241] in The Washin... [t:80602205]...</cite> <quote>Nobody here can read your link because nobody has a washingtonpost subscription.

It's a recurring pattern over the last half century for the Republicans to fuck up royally. Each time they've done so the Democrats have stepped in and cleaned up their mess.
