I think it's a poor stacking of priorities to deliberately try to divide the government by putting a Dem in the White House on purpose.... to serve what, exactly? Budget is very important, but if we allow it to be the only value we hold dear then we lost all the other values deliberately and can't help but lose "budget" in the end, too.
The last Dem in the White House subjugated our soldiers to the U.N., sold some of our military advantage to China, allowed North Korea to fill it's pockets with nukes, let Saddam smack us around on the International stage making us look very weak, and allowed Osama to go unpunished and growing arrogant enough to put together an army and coordinate 9/11...
It didn't matter how many GOP'ers we had in D.C., we couldn't stop him from doing all of the above as CIC. Any more of this and there won't BE an America TO budget.

It didn't matter how many GOP'ers we had in D.C., we couldn't stop him from doing all of the above as CIC. That's what I don't understand.
Why is it that it doesn't ever matter "how many GOP'ers we [have]" in Congress?
No matter which way the deck is stacked, we always lose. Why?
I see people saying that the GOP is stymied in Congress because we don't have a greater than 60 seat majority in the Senate, yet, we're also told that if the RATs get that same slim majority, we'll still be stymied.
Either there's something really tricky written into the rules, or our guys need to grow a set, and pronto!
