The GOP can't be rationally blamed for the failures of Congress in the last two years, however, so the Dems must be giving points to the Dems just because they are Democrats. There is no other logical explanation given the facts of an abysmal record.
LOL that FF is lecturing the board on rationality.
Were it actually true that the Dems had been in control of Congress for two of the eight years of the disastrous Bush administration, rational people could lay part of the blame to the Dems for the horrid state of things but, of course, the Dems weren't in contol of Congress during any part of the Bush administration. They have controllled the House for a year anf a half.
During less turbulent times, the electorate is generally hsppy with a stalemeate situation in government (President one party and the Congress the other) But these are times where the elctorate wants and needs change and it cannot happen when, in effect, one party rules. And, despite FFs delusions, that is effectively what we have now.
