" ARE THE REPUBLICANS STILL RUNNING THE SHOW? "

Again, I made the mistake of watching our House of Representatives and the Senate, in action on the tele. What struck me as most evident is that the Republicans are still, even though they were voted out of the majority by a dissatisfied American Citizenry, they still seem to be directing the course of the Congress. How can that be? What happened to all the fire and brimstone from the Democrats who were going to change the course we were on? They were going to end the "WAR" and bring the troops home....ain't happening. They were going to reverse the failed economic policies of the White House and bring the working person into the equation?.....ain't happening. Nancy Pelosi just gives in to any pressure from the Republicans and in the Senate the Republicans, even though less in members, still get their agenda passed. Will someone please tell me what the hell is going on?
