Reply #75: Because as long as Democrats play nicely...

[eomer]

then the legislative process will be one of mutual cooperation and respect. The Republicans, even though they don't have to, will make sure that Democrats' input is carefully combined with their own ideas and the legislation we get will be a marvelous example of bi-partisan cooperation.

That's how you see it, right?

Now that we've finished our trip to Fantasyland let's describe how it's really going to be. All legislation will be developed totally within the Republican party and the public won't even be aware of what's in it due to MSM complicity. Democrats will have the opportunity to vote "No" on one bill after another and will rarely, if ever, have any real input into the process. The most effective thing they will be able to do is hold a press conference. That's the future you're admonishing us not to jeopardize.
