Not when Democrats control the white house, the house, the senate, and pretty soon the supreme court justices.

It just puts more pressure on the dems to perform...if they don\'t they will find themselves on the losing stick come next election. It wasn\'t that long ago that the republicans had the presidency & the congress on lock as well.

This is true the GOP swept into Congress in 92 and proceeded to become drunk with power over the next 12 years. The end result was them controlling everything and having one party control both branches is not a good thing at all.
Reagan didn\'t have that luxury, but he built a working coalition with the Dems in congress and was quite successful.

Don\'t blame me, I voted for Cynthia McKinney!

Unless the democrats worship the ground this guy walks on. I just don\'t want to see this country go socialist.

it goes both ways. using the logic that the politicians have no brains and just vote because obama says so, then if one is majority republican and one is democrat, then we could get political banter bullshit and get nothing done because they have their own agendas for their own party ending up in each side checking the other just for the sake of checking them.
im sure there are plenty of democrats who dont want a socialist country, if thats the direction obama really goes towards (too much at least..social security is a pretty socialist idea)

We have definitely taken steps towards a socialist society, especially with the government bailout. The government now owns huge chunks of our banking system... that will probably never be undone whether we like it or not.
And while there are plenty of people who don\'t want us to go full out socialist, there is a surprising amount of people who do. I\'ve always thought I supported totally open and free capitalist system.. but something deep down inside of me knows we need some sort of system to keep our poor and lower-middle class at least with a barely passable quality of life.
I could totally see if we had a completely hands off approach to capitalism... you have the top 5% of society.... the super rich elites who own 90% of everything - that create a walled off paradise of a city, while the rest of us outside those walls kill each other over bread crumbs.
Sounds like a movie I\'ve seen before the more I think about it.
