    Question for the old timers Have congressional Democrats always been as spineless and wholly lacking in dignity as they have been this decade?

    No. Once upon a time they had been the majority for decades and were arrogant bastards. Then the Republicans became the majority and became the arrogant bastards.

    Soon, it will be the Republicans who are seen as the "weaklings".

    Guaranteed.
