It's stunning (and sad) that you think they are any better.

What's the alternative? If the mechanism by which the GOP held its power
over the past dozen years is voter stupidity (and it was, in the main),
then shouldn't _that_ be the same mechanism that gets them out? Isn't
this the only thing (left) that offers any chance of keeping some kind
of balance of power? Assuming that you actually want a balance of power
not just idealogically, but also between the branches.

I think I've come to the conclusion that I like gridlock best. I'd
prefer that someone actually have a plan, but since both major
parties and the electorate (KenF especially) appear to be clueless
I like the idea of neither party having control.

You've just contradicted yourself in the span of two posts.
First you say it's sad to think electing Dems is any better,
then you say you don't want one-party control. Since the
Republicans currently control the House, the Senate and the
Presidency how do you propose to break up their one-party
control without voting Democrat ?
