Whine Me A River
Oh no...come on, guys, you're sounding like Democrats after 2004:
Representative Nancy Pelosi publicly and repeatedly pledged before November's election that if Democrats won a House majority and she became speaker they would treat Republicans with respect and comity and would foster bipartisanship.
Instead, three weeks into a session in which the strong-willed Pelosi has rammed through important legislation and major rule changes, increasingly exasperated and angry Republicans are asking when the new Democratic speaker and her leadership team will keep their pledge to create a less-partisan, more-open atmosphere.
This is a surprise?? The Democrats are no more interested in working with Republicans than they are in winning the war. They should have known Pelosi was lying through her teeth, that's what Democrats do. They're going to have to find a way to put up roadblocks and fight them, just as they fought us when we were in the majority.
"Whine me a river,'' one senior Democratic House aide said, referring to Republican gripes.
Yep. It ain't gonna do any good, so you might as well suck it up, GOPers, and figure out some way to stymie them. Fight dirty if you have to, they sure will.
