As far as the immediate elections are concerned. I'm not sure if it would a bad thing to have Congress and the White House controlled by different parties. That's what happened from 1994 to 2001 and the resulting political gridlock managed to keep taxes and spending increases reasonable.

The 2006 elections are what I am interested in. I think the idea of divided government is nuts. You only hear how good it is when the Democrats are out of power. If the Dims get hold of either house, they will truly make GWB a lame duck with ceaseless investigations and calls for impeachment. Iraq will go the way of Vietnam as they will refuse to fund the war. The reason divided government has worked in the past is usually there was a Republican President holding back a Dhimmicratic Congress. Now both are the same party and there is a war going on AND GWB is NOT a conservative. Bur he IS a smart, courageous, and patriotic man who can see through Dimocratic BS. Frankly, your cure is worse than the disease. What we need to do is defeat the RINOs in the primaries. If we can't, we hold our noses and vote for them. Just because the leg has gangrene, doesn't mean you shoot the patient.

Good analogy. What I am suggesting will, if it works, entail the amputation of a few states.

What do you think the chances of getting conservatives from states like Massachusetts? California is pretty much lost to the illegal alien vote.
