That's been my position for a while now. If Kerry wins and the Republicans keep Congress we'll have gridlock for four years.

Having a "compassionate conservative" like Bush in the Whitehouse is giving political cover to all the RINOs in Congress. They can vote for all sorts of spending and Bush takes the heat for signing it. If Bush gets a second term I predict he'll declare some sort of amnesty and in general be even more liberal than he has been already.

we may have legislative gridlock, but Kerry can do plenty to destroy the country as president just by controlling the executive branch and the military.
