"There will be no 'Meanwhile' if we lose the Majority in Congress. Present day democrats will find so many ways to reinterpret Laws it will be like living in Venezuela."
The Democrats will do their worst, which may well include "going nuclear" in the Senate on every piece of legislation.
BUT, the President will still be President, and it still takes 67 votes to override a veto. The Democrats might have 51 votes in the Senate. They're not going to have 67.
The Supreme Court will remain dominated by Republican appointees, and evenly split between liberals and conservatives.
There will be quite a contrast set up, between a raging Democratic Congress and a stubborn President in his bunker, vetoing everything.
So yes, there will be a "meanwhile". 2007 will be the meanwhile. And the Republicans will have that time period, while Congress and the President do isometrics and everything is paralyzed, to add a Sealed Mexican Border to their list of "untouchable" issues, and nominating a candidate who promises it.
And that gives the GOP power back in 2008.
It would be better to just give the BorderBots their fence NOW, and start building it, so we hold Congress this year.
I for one have no intention of weakening the President when he is in the middle of waging a war, the consequences of losing which, are unthinkable. If Democrats are able to take control of a branch of Congress it will be a victory for all of those that are calling for our immidiate withdrawl from Iraq. They will redouble their calls for withdrawl, they will obstruct and obfuscate, and call for impeachment. They will severely undermine our chances for victory in Iraq, and the entire doctrine of pre-emption. This simply cannot be allowed to happen.
It would be better to just give the BorderBots their fence NOW, and start building it, so we hold Congress this year.

What do you mean by "their fence"? Wouldn't it be America's fence? I hope you have not concluded somehow that I am against a fence because I support President Bush and Republican Administration and continuing Republican majorities in House and Senate.
