What he's doing is taking us down the road to socialism/statism somewhat more slowly than Gore would.

Again, your opinion, which I respect. I just don't agree with it. Let me ask you, do you think things would have been different if Republicans controlled the Senate?

The fact that the GOP does not control the Senate is their own fault (failure to challenge the Jean Carnahan election).

And I suspect that with the number of RINO's in the Senate, outside of the probable failure of CFR and success of a couple of court nominees, there wouldn't be much difference.

It'd still be the Kennedy education bill, the tax cut would still be minimal and sunsetted, and the "Patriot Act" would if anything be even more draconian.

Don't let's forget all those last minute Clinton EO's that are still in effect, too. No Senate action required there!
