A question that has been bugging me

Why are so many repugs now voting with Dems? And why did they not break ranks in the 6 years? Were they subject to extortion? loss of power? what?

Suddenly Congress is able to move ahead of many important issues... they seem to have gotten more done in what? a week? than had gotten done in 6 years.....

So I do wonder why these now "bi-partisan repugs" were so partisan right up to the November elections... I don't trust any of them at all.

Methinks it's all a way to stave off losing in the next election..They are politicians after all - and above all...
