What would the Repubs do if the shoe were on the other foot?

I believe the Repubs would make a big deal out of the fact that it was the Dems fault that ebola is loosed in the U.S. because they didn't allow their president to appoint a surgeon general. They would yell that to all the corners of the MSM and they would sway the upcoming Nov Congressional Election in their favor and win a majority in the House and maintain the Senate. They would scare the hell out of the American People about the threat of ebola and they would win in Nov.

Remember - I said if the shoe were on the other foot - here - that means the Repub president was being filibustered and obstructed by the Dems in the Senate and that the Dems had control of the House.

I think we should use this 'what would' Repub strategy to get the Dems to win in Nov. and take back the House and increase their majority in the Senate. Use the Repubs play book for once and play dirty like they would if the shoe were on the other foot.
