The numbers are there to view tman.......
Pam do you think that the Republicans would be silly enough to sit around and do nothing for two years makes a little sense it seems as though the Democratic folk are hoping for just that
It will take both sides to get things done, time will tell who is willing to work and who isn't. Those who are not willing to work from either side of the aisle should get voted out next election cycle I agree

There is little to no chance the GOP will do nothing. What we are all looking for is what issues will they choose to work on, advance and control. Will they work with the Dems and the WH to move forth on legislation that they feel is important but are willing to do some compromising to get that done? It is totally to the advantage in my opinion to work on major domestic issues and move off gridlock as that may well be the best way to win the WH for the GOP in 2016. If little gets accomplished during the next two years they will be held accountable by the voters and we have seen very large swings in the moderate and independent voters in the last half dozen elections. An interesting fact. Several states voted out Dem Senators but also had strong and large percentage wins for minimum wage increases, AK and ARK as two notable examples. It goes to show that federally many are unhappy with the status quo but locally they want more Populist action. That will be an interesting aspect to watch over time. Ballot initiatives be for whatever issue many times are not party politics and are issue items and that is one way to end run party politics and the American voters are starting to realize that more and more.

good point Bryce- its kind of like HC-
when asked if they like "obamacare" the majority did not-
but when asked about individual components of the HC plan, the overwhelming majority approved

I am all for more local control.
Tman many things could be said the same way, I like coyote trapping but wouldn't like it in Hawaii.

You would not catch any in HI, even if you were a great yote trapper. That brings up an important aspect or insight about society and politics. If you keep trying to pound square pegs in round holes you won't get too far. You can make a lot of noise be destructive but not likely to make much difference.

I hardly pay attention to National politics anymore.
In Nevada the R's took every constitutional office and reversed both houses. Plus the Governor.
The speaker of our assembly is a trapper and the chairmen of both natural resource committees are rancher and gun owner reps.
The interim committees deep sixed every trap regulation brought to them by the wildlife commission.
I don't think I even need to go down there this session.
The antis are in disarray.
I lost one good friend in the election, he was a democrat. The other friendly Democrats survived.

Too bad that national party politics flows down to the levels that it does and that is what limits the ability to debate, talk and move forward. Nothing wrong with having an opposition party person with similar views working with others with similar views of different parties. Many times the final laws past with the combined approach don't have the crazy amendments for each extreme tied to the main bill.
