It's a whole new kind of arbitrary elitism. Wix, you figure we'll start a coup in a couple months, take over and implement the IR? or just remain as Dictator's I guess..., I hear the health plan is excellent

SIX people want the Republicans to take all?
Are you people insane?
Take a look at your stocks. Investor confidence is nil. So many corporations are going bankrupt because of mismanagement and corruption that they're dragging the entire economy down with them... who wants to give their money to a company that's just going to rip them off?
If the Democrats take both the House and the Senate, the market will solidify and things will start to creep back... investors want to see the Government beat some corporate ass. The Republicans aren't going to do much about this, but the Democrats will make sure to have a few people drawn and quartered

Here's my thinking. One of the reasons our country works is that there are checks and balances. The President can't just go off and do whatever he likes and become a king, because both Congress and the SC can't stop him, legally with no blood shed. Same goes for Congress. If they pass a bad piece of legislation, and the president signs it, the SC can still stop it if it is unconstitutional.
But what happens if both Congress and the President are from the same party? You lose a lot of those checks and balances. And right now, it is very dangerous because Bush gets to name some new SC Justices. So, we could potentially have all three branches of our government controled by the same party. One of our founding fathers, Jefferson, even said how horrible the political parties were and how it would destroy our country in the end. He didn't like the idea that all the careful checks and balances that he and the others had put into place could easily be destroyed if all three branches were controled by one group.
That is why I don't want the Repulicans OR the Democrats to control the Senate, House, and Presidency. I like knowing that if one of the groups starts acting up, the other's will be there to put them in their place. I say a Democrat Senate and a Republican House is a good combo, but I still don't like having a Repulican place the next Supremes. They need to be more forward thinking than who will eventually be placed. Anyway, that's my thinking.

Right now, the Republican party is out of control. We've got a very powerful Republican president, and his party does just about anything he says... only a Democratic Congress can keep this guy in check, as well as making sure the Supreme Court nominees are nice and moderate.
In two years we may get the Republicans out of the White House, at which point it will *still* be a good idea to have the Democrats in charge of Congress for a couple years. The Republican party needs to have its power cut long enough for the moderates to retake the party and cast out the dipshits.
Same thing has already happened to the Democrats... a couple decades back, we got taken over by a bunch of power-hungry leftists who were quite willing to drive this country into the ground to bring about the changes they wanted. That resulted in the Democrats getting ass-reamed in the 80's by Reagan. The moderates worked to regain control of the Democratic party, and now the Leftists hate us as much as the Republicans... so they split off and formed the Green Party. Now they can rant and rave all they want and not disrupt REAL debate.
No doubt they'll try and come back when they see the Democrats regaining the respect of the people. But I hope we'll manage to keep them out of power.
The Republicans need to have their power reduced until they drive the Bible-thumping Ayn Rand nuts out. Just like the Democrats, getting thrown out of power will encourage the radicals to leave... let those folks become Libertarians or form their own party, then let the Republicans get back to doing the populist thing they used to do so well.
