It was a lot easier when they were screaming from the bleachers!

As I wrote before, the 6 years of one-party rule were great for Democrats. They simply sat in the bleachers and called the manager a bunch of names. No solutions just name calling.

They could vote for the war and then oppose it at any convenient moment. They could accept millions from corporations and then pretend that they are party of little people.

The bleacher era is over. Jesse Jackson, Nancy Pelosi and the gang will now have to enact bills rather than vote against everything.

See Where Do Democrats Go From Here? By Michael Barone:

"What will the Democrats do with their majorities in Congress? The 2006 campaign was pretty much an idea-free zone and provides only a few clues."

See Pelosi, Democrats Face Crunch Over Campaign Promises and Budget
By Brian Faler:

"Democrats, who won the midterm elections promising to relieve financial pressures on middle- class families while restoring fiscal discipline to Washington, now face a crunch over paying for their promises."

See The Giant, Helpless, Pitiful Democrats By Dick Morris:

"For all of the dire warnings and pre-election commotion about the impact of a Democratic majority in Congress, the fact is that - now that it is upon us - it can do little or nothing but harass the administration."

It was indeed a lot easier when they sat in the bleachers and second guessed the manager's lineup!
