It's not that they aren't fighting now. It's that they could have fought THEN -- with filibusters and such -- and didn't for fear of looking soft on national security or what have you.
The problem is that the Democrats keep trying to negotiate with the Republicans, but most of the Republicans aren't interested in negotiation. Clearly the only solution is either pass the Republican agenda or deadlock forever.
