My point was that somehow legislation got passed, somehow the business

(and this is a *good* thing according to 2pid) the republicans don't.
It is not a shared thing here. It is not 50-50. Since Newt Gingrich in
1994 the republicans have been abominable. Somehow under Clinton
things still got done.-
Right!!
Congress was Republican.
thanks!!!!
Clinton was willing to compromise, as were the Dems. The republicans
are no longer interested. For proof, note that Clintion approached the
republicans (I believe it was Orrin Hatch in particular) about Supreme
Court nominations.
Back to your simplistic conclusions...
The dems in Congress rejected almost all compromises
for the past 8 years
Nonsense and the "compromises" tended to resemble "complete
capitulation" on issue after issue: Patriot Act, FISA, etc.
