History lesson for the day . . .
Bush The Younger once had a full house poker hand when Republicans controlled all three branches of gummit. But the RINO's couldn't put down the crack pipe and went on a two-year spending spree that even The Hammer couldn't rein in. It was such a disgusting display of human frailty that when midterms rolled round Republican voters just said "no" and stayed home. Voter turnout was almost non-existant.
Nancy Pelosi declared it a "voter mandate" and went on to make the following years of Bush's presidency a living hell.
