Convenient that when the GOP has a razor thin edge they get everything they want with almost no issue, but when DNC has a super majority they can barely get watered down health insurance reform.

That's the difference between ethical governing and the unethical abuse of power.

If you want liberals to "get everything they want", and ignore democracy, they'd have to do it unethically.

Wouldn't it be better if everyone played by the rules, and governed like they are actually working in the best interests of voters?

The real problem is most of the DNC don't want the things they say they do to get elected. They get the same conservative money the GOP does to be sure those things don't happen.

Then let's apply the same reasoning we did in November. Some unethical abuse of power is going to happen. Wouldn't you rather it be less?

It's a lot easier to get things done when you get to cheat while the other side has to play by the rules.
