It won't happen. Bush is not an obstructionist, and congress is a bunch of ninnies. The idea that if the Repubs lost, they would fight harder is nonsense-no silver linging. We are going to have swallow some upleasent medicine. I only hope those who sat home or voted for loosertarian candidates are happy.
Maybe and maybe not. As I remember back in the early 90s the Republicans in the Senate filibustered just about everything Clinton and the liberals tried to ram through. They stopped that socialist agenda cold.
Why would those who voted for Libertarian candidates be happy? They lose either way--with the Republican Nanny-Statists or the Democrat Nanny-Statists.
