Gone aremeasures that Republicans put in place, limiting the terms committee chairman can serveto ensure they don\u2019t grow too powerful. Also gone: measures allowing the minority party(in this case, theRepublicans)the ability to offer alternative legislation, or to stop tax increases hidden inside large bills.<\/p>\n<p>In short, Democrats&#8211; now comfortably back in charge&#8211; will stomp all over Republicans, restoring the House to what it used to be: a private playground for themselves. It won\u2019t matter whether Republicans even show up &#8211;they\u2019ll have little power to affect the outcome of anything. So they might as well collect their pay, go play golf, and call it a day.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans wrote a letter to Nancy Pelosi objecting toall of theserule changes. For all the good it will do, they should\u2019ve just thrown it in the garbage themselves.<\/p>\n<p>You see, when Republicans won the House, the Drive-By Media took up the Democrat cause. They ran story after story about the &#8220;rights of the minority party&#8221; to power, since they were elected to office, too, representing a vast swath of the electorate. And Republicans accommodated them! Now theDemocrats are back,and no one gives a rat\u2019s rear end about &#8220;power-sharing&#8221;or the minority party\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>Now I, El Rushbo, am not surprised, and I\u2019m not complaining. Elections have consequences. This is how politics is played. When liberals win, partisanship is not only okay, it\u2019s expected &#8211;it\u2019s a lesson conservatives should never forget. <\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rush\u2019s Morning Update: Politics!January 7, 2009Watch It!
