My very pessimistic prediction about the next two years: how the Republicans will keep winning. [View All]

I keep hearing people say that the coming gridlock will play into the Democrats' hands because we will be able to blame the Republicans for being obstructionists.
That's a nice thought, but they have already been obstructing every chance they can, they proudly declared this as their chief strategy from the moment President Obama was elected and the electorate does not seem to have much of a problem with any of it.
I think that the Republicans having control of the House will now make the Democrats look like obstructionists.

This is how I think the next two years will play out:

ANY attempts at legislation in the next two years will be subject to Republican whim.
They will get all the credit for any legislative action, even if the action is unsuccessful.

How will this happen?
Republicans in the house will present their bullshit.
The conservadems in the House, terrified of losing their jobs after seeing what happened last night, will vote for this legislation so they don't appear to be too liberal.
They can then claim to be able to reach beyond party lines, be bipartisan, etc.

Then the legislative battle will be taken to the Democratic Senate where the ruling Democrats will look like obstructionists. The House will say, "on NOV 2, 2010 the American people spoke and elected us to do our stupid thing. And all the Democrats do is block us at every turn."

The Republicans will come up with all sorts of BS legislation. None of it will need to be practical, sane nor possible. It doesn't matter. The disastrous results of their policies will never be seen because they will never be passed. The loaded jargon will be blasted from the floor of the House, Senate and the MSM. Americans will believe that these bills are the answer to our financial problems. Shit, they will believe that these bills are the answer to their personal financial problems. Americans will remain ignorant about basic economic principles.

Come 2012, people will be fed up with the obstructionist Democrats who won't let any of these wonderful bills pass.

If the Democratic Senate does actually pass some Republican House authored bills, the Republicans will take credit for being the authors.

If the Democratic Senate introduces a bill to the Republican House, the Republicans will unilaterally strike them down, but they won't be seen as obstructionists because, after all, they're only the House. The Democrats are the ones with the real power of the Senate and the Presidency.

So, please, tell me how this is not possible.
Tell me how this is not consistent with the Republicans we have been dealing with for the last two years.
