Republicans touted the 2014 gains in Congress as a condemnation of Obama's policies. Democrats pointed out that it was a historical pattern played out over the past few decades. Who was right?

they rolled over and kissed Obama butt a few times. BUT

They did some of what the people voted them in to do. and that was to put a STOP to that maniac Obama from putting any more fascist government program/entitlements like OscamCare on our backs at a time we could least afford it.

maybe stopped them from putting anymore strangling regulations on business.

Report: 21,000 regulations so far under Obama, 2,375 set for 2015
