We have several examples of what total Republican control looks like.
Look around the country today to the States that are under Republican control.
Tell me that Republicans and Democrats are just the same there.
We also have an example where Democrats are stopping every piece of teabag/wingnut idiocy that comes down the pike. Iowa
I live in Iowa, where we have a wingnut governor and a wingnut House. Every bill that comes out is either anti-union, anti-gay, or anti-woman. There was even one floating around that your could use deadly force to protect a zygote. Think about it, that would basically be declaring Open Season on health care providers.
We've still got a Democratic majority in the Senate. And every damned one of those egregious bills is STOPPED by the Democrats in the Senate. The majority leader is very good at articulating why the Senate is stopping those bills. (of course his words don't get that much press coverage)
We would be as much of a wingnut hellhole as those other states if it weren't for those Democrats.

Now look at the national level. Those bastards ran of jobs jobs jobs. And yet Boehner's House has put out practically nothing but
= abortion, abortion, abortion = taking away health care
How much of that Crap has been stopped by Reid and the Dem Senate? A damn lot of it.
The absolute NUMBER ONE priority for me is taking back the House with a solid majority, and taking back the Senate WITH A BULLETPROOF majority.
I am sure if you look back at the last two years, you will admit there was some EXCELLENT legislation coming out of the Pelosi lead House of Representatives.
I am sure you will also remember the amount of Republican obstruction and destruction in the Senate, aided and abetted by the Ben Nelsons and the Liebermans.
"The oil companies are sticking it to average Americans at the gas pump. In the meantime, the politicians haggle over whether they need a tax "subsidy" from the rest of us."
The only ones I see arguing for more tax breaks for oil companies and defending them are Republicans and nitwits like Mary Landrieu. That is why we need more solid DEMS in the House and Senate
