So don,
    Are you saying you LIKED the republicans having their  six years??? I 
didn't I also didn't
like the Carter years where the Dems controlled everything. You will never  
convince me that the
Dems are cleaner than the Reps. They are all politicians. This though is  
worse, the Dems had 
the ability to filibuster and did when it mattered and forced the Reps to  
negotiate and change
bills before they allowed their passage. We are looking at one party having  
complete control
with no filibuster or veto to restrain them. Never the need to  negotiate.

How quickly we  forget.  We had six years of Republican control of the
congress and  administration.  What was the result of that?  A slight  budget
surplus (if you forget the SSI money) turned into massive  deficients.
Patriot act.  Congressional corruption with at least one  Republican
Represenitive still in jail, others who have not gone to trial  yet.  The K
Street Project, two ill conceived wars, and so on.   An administration filled
with incompetents, many from the industries they  regulate.  The list goes
on.  We can only hope that the adults  will take over again.

And don't say that the Democrats are not doing  anything, they are facing an
obstructionist block of Repugnicans in the  Senate who are interested only in
a power grab and could care less about  the country.
