Hank,
My point was the Republicans have been clipped. They are without power. At  
this point the Dem's don't need the Republican's help. In fact, the more noise  
they make and the more roadblocks they throw in front of Democrat initiated  
legislation, the worse the next set of elections will be for them. Listen to 
the  voice of the voters. They spoke loudly this time and the next set of 
elections  they might actually roar. People are really, really fed up with this 
Republican  administration.
