> Unfortunately, the GOP is soooo tied up with the idea of hanging onto power

Democrats are the ones that are out of power and they hate it. They would be fine with everything as long as a Democrat is president. It is so obvious that it is all just purely political. The good news - these biased blogs have no audience.

Paul, I think the carrot on a stick falls to both parties - neither trusts the other enough to relinquish the goods, hence both are afraid of a lack of power, we all keep chasing the darn thing and the problems continue. Your one-sided response to a supposed one-sided post proves that.

I also disagree with your rough interpretation. Most liberals do not hate that there is GOP-run house, but despise the abuse of 'common law' practice rather than common sense. Is your thinking that narrow as to believe the Republicans have made good on their time? How short-sighted are we when we can't acknowledge our strengths and weaknesses?

Despite all our Rush and Hannity bantering, these four years will be marked in time as the worst in America's history. You can't blame Al Quaeda for that, or the power-hungry Liberals.

worst in America's history? I don't think so. Slavery will always be one of the worst in American history. "It's the economy stupid" and things are getting better and better. Like Rush says, good news is bad news for Democrats!
