The Reasons Your Choice for the Republican Majority in the House Sucks

I mean beyond the obvious ones.

Namely, the absolute gridlock described by Ezra Klein

From the perspective of actually getting anything done in the next two years, there was perhaps no worse outcome. Republicans don't fully control Congress, so they don't have enough power to be blamed for legislative outcomes. But Democrats don't control the House and they don't have a near-filibuster proof majority in the Senate, so they can't pass legislation. Republicans, in other words, are not left with the burden of governance, and Democrats are not left with the power to govern. Republicans don't have to be responsible, and Democrats can't do it for them.

Well, it seems that the Republican House majority will be the largest since 1928. Now why does 1928 sound so familiar? Oh... that's right.... that Depression thingy.

There is a saying, incorrectly attributed to Mark Twain that says: "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme."

I find the version attributed to John W. Campbell Jr more apropos: History doesn't always repeat itself. Sometimes it just screams, "Why don't you listen to me?" and lets fly with a big stick.
