Where you surprised that the 2000s were more or less a Republican decade?

Between Republicans holding Congress going into 2001, winning the White House from 2001 to 2009, and winning the majority in the 2002 and 2004 races, were you surprised at how conservative the 2000s ended up being, especially coming off of the liberal 1990s?

No. The Republicans successfully exploited their failure to keep the country safe into a good half decade of electoral success.

Um...correct me if I'm wrong...but weren't we safe from attack after 9/11 until the present under mostly Republican leadership?

Under whose leadership did 9/11 occur?

I'm not necessarily blaiming it on that leadership, but it's incredibly hypocritic to come with the "he kept us safe" bull without regarding that simple fact.

Gimme a break, Franz...those guys were making their marydr videos in January 2000, that attack was in the planning stages going back to the beginning of Clinton's second term.
