(4,840 posts)roll back progress in all areas - economic, social, labor, environmental, etc - so their party can maintain relavency by fighting the same old battles with democrats over and over again. If all these problems were to be fixed by democrats there would be no more basis for the republican party to fight for control.

To me it set the standards to let wallstreet and the Fed screw us without a kiss, and ENRON the rest of the government.
The Republicans are all reprehensible.
