Nancy Pelosi: Republicans Will Continue Obstruction If Obama Is Reelected

Do you think that if Republicans take control of Congress next year that the Democratic minority, with greater numbers than the Republican minority has now, will be as effective at thwarting the Republicans as the Republicans have been in thwarting Democrats?

If you say yes, I say, "Where were they during the 8 years of BushCheney?"

Eight years when Democrats did nothing to prevent Republicans' 'expansionism', and a *SHOCK and AWE* assault on ordinary Americans.  

Eight years, when BarbaraBoxer, chairwoman of the SenateEnvironment & PublicWork­sCommittee­, wrote two murder mysteries, because "It was always something I wanted to do if I had the time."   Eight years when PatLeahy expanded his GratefulDead collection and got to act in his favorite comic book hero movie, Batman.  PatLeahy shepherded Roberts' and Alito's names out of the SenateJudi­ciaryCommi­ttee and to the floor for confirmation, saying, "A president's entitled to an up or down vote on his nominations". 

For several decades, Republicans have advanced their agenda and when Democrats get into power, instead of reversing Republican gains, instead of advancing the 99%'s interests, Democrats consolidate Republicans' gains. 

I can give you examples on just about all Democrats in Congress and their acquiescence to Republican policies.  

Where is Democrats' 'fire-in-the-belly' for ordinary Americans? Why is it that the best they can offer is, "We're not as bad as those guys"?

Democratic politicians have been saying the same thing for 30 years, but they still vote for privatization, refusing to oversee and regulate.
