Every post I read from you has political party mentions in it.... maybe I'm 
just reading the wrong posts?

Yes, and no, I admit I have allowed myself to be sucked into this, but I am 
the sort of person that feels I can't ignore blatently wrong statements. I 
don't care whether they are republican or democrat in their support, It just 
rubs 
me the wrong way. If we stopped all political posts on this board, I would be 
thrilled


Maybe you can help me out? When was the last time the same political party 
controlled both houses of Congress and the Whitehouse?
 
Many times, the Democrats have controlled both houses and the whitehouse, 
most recently under Bill Clinton. His first 2 years. Prior to that, Carter 
for 
four years, Kennedy and Johnson for 8 years, all but 2 years under roosevelt 
and 
truman, and two prior times since 1867. The Republicans last time in full 
command was the late 50's for two years under Eisenhower and twice before. 
since 
1867. Essentially, the last number of Democratic presidents have enjoyed this 
benefit. I am reading this at the following web
