You are assuming that the RATS will gain control of Congress. If, God forbid, sKerry was elected without a RAT Congress, he couldn't get anything passed. 4 wonderful years of gridlock.
Gridlock is the way it should be!
But I'd rather it be with Bush in charge...:)
A true republican is one who wishes congress was in session for one month out of the year, and he'd be calling for early recess from about day 6 on.
A true democrat is the one who wishes there were 13 months in every year, and congress was in session every day.
