Ok, Bruce... I did the search and found the original thread. You did NOT clarify that the whole thing was Bobert's quote. If you had, MY comment would have been...so what?.

Once again, your basic argument form is: "Everything you accuse the Repubs of, *I* can find, or claim, an example of the Dems doing the same thing."
Problem is, it is NEVER exactly the same thing, either in quantity, substance or relevance.

You act as if any halfway aware reader would immediately intuit the profound truths suggested by your copy&paste gems and see how blind and short-sighted we have been.
Sorry, but the situation is not the same as in 2004. Obama and his administration are not following the 'same' paths or making the same mistakes that Bush and his flunkys handlers did.

Obama is trying to actually get serious stuff done, and the Republicans are 1)acting as if 41 out of 100 is a majority, 2)refusing to cooperate in ANY important legislation, 3) then, arguing that Obama has 'failed' to accomplish anything, when it is Republicans playing the 60 vote rule and using the filibuster who have derailed progress!

So...as far as the 'past coming back to haunt you', don't I remember Bush using signing statements and reconciliation to ram stuff through when they THEY couldn't get 60 votes?

Sauce for the goose?

Now, for Pete's sake, since you "worry about me", explain exactly what you intend to argue next time....I'm getting older & slower, and it takes me a little longer to unravel the tangled reasoning in your attempts to defend all Republican actions with some strange assertion that 'Democrats do the same...or are about to'.
