Z, That's bullshit. Pelosi took impeachment off the table. They let Bush's tax cuts pass. For a few years, with some noble exceptions they supported him on just about everything related to the wars. They let his Supreme Court nominees get through. They used the filibuster half as much as the Republicans are now. They let Medicare Part D pass. They went along with every remedy for the crash in 2008. That's a lot of spin and not a lot of truth. Impeachment off the table? Wow, how gracious of the Democrats, LOL ... Tax cuts were immensely popular, despite how much the Dems tried to portray them as "just for the rich." The Dems were for the war before they were against it. The Supreme Court nominees only went through after the Republicans threatened the "nuclear option" thanks to Democrat obstructionism. (By the way, Harry Reid just used that option, the same one he whined about back when he was part of the minority. What a f'n hypocrite.) I don't know if you remember, but in 2008, the Democrats were in control of Congress. To accuse the Republicans of setting new lows in obstructionism is to ignore what the Democrats did back when they were the "Party of No." Tenchusatsu
