They're not really the same as much as you think. They CAN change a good bit, but not a WHOLE lot. Not on their own, anyways. With Obama as president and the democrats controlling congress though, I'm pretty sure they'll all jack off and pass every bill he wants passed.


Agreed. See after next quote for details.

Here's the kicker- now the Democrats own everything but the Supreme Court. With just a few more seats in each house of Congress, they can even muster the 2/3 majority needed to nullify any action taken against them. I hate the Republicans, I hate the Democrats, but there needs to be a balance between the two. You cannot hand the reins of power to a single political entity and expect the outcome to be anything good.

I am not looking forward to the next four years.



Agreed, as well. One party in power (e.g. They control two plus branches of our gov't will not be checked and balanced accordingly. They'll agree on a lot of things that they want to see made and to hell with other opinions. Why would you need to listen to other suggestions when you control enough of gov't to get your way?
