This shouldn’t be surprising. Republicans hate the “do-nothing Congress” almost as much as the Democrats hate their “do-nothing Congress.” It used to be that a common theme with Democratic leadership (at least in the House) was the tradition of getting things done and greasing the wheels of power.
That tradition of Tip O’Neill is sadly lost, perhaps not to be recovered in a generation. At least Republicans during the 1990’s had an example to follow… whether that is damning or faint praise (or both) is for the reader to decide.
