"let's go back to that"; does "ray" mean that we don't have "that" any
more
now that Republicans are running things?
Consider the House of Representative, the Senate, the Presidency and the
Supreme Court. Since the election of 1994 Republicans, have had control
of
either 3 or all 4 of these. They have had the control of all 4 for the
last
3 years. And "ray" wants to lay the blame at the feet of Democrats?
Democrats who have had little or no power for over 10 years?
(And Republicans control the state mansions and have had control of the
statehouses for most of the last 11 years as well).
