GF, the GOP maintained control of both the House and the Senate from 1995 (1994 election cycle) to 2001 (2000 election cycle) when they lost control of the Senate for two years when Jim Jeffords switched to Independent and voted with the Dems. That only lasted two years and the GOP regained control of the Senate and House until the 2006 election cycle. So for all but 2 of 12 years they controlled both the House and the Senate. They also controlled the White House for half that period. It looks like Dems have screwed the pooch in 1/3rd the time it took the GOP to do so. We shall see.

As for what they accomplished during that timeframe my view as a social and fiscal conservative is that the vast majority of their successes were in the early years. For example, the two primary positive aspects of the Clinton presidency (debt reduction and welfare reform) were the creation of the GOP controlled House and Senate. In fact I take the position that welfare reform was the only successful social program achievement of the last 50 years.
