Boner and Yertle the Turtle both have just enough batshit teapartiers that anything useful that the "sane" (and I use that word loosely) GOP want's to get passed HAS to HAVE some Democrats to vote with them.
So the Dems control things?

They did nothing other than sit back and wring their hands about how unfair the Republican were being by not allowing them to participate.
