I cannot understand why anyone who talks about being fiscally responsible can possibly look forward to an all Democrat government AND not be concerned about how much a 1-party dominated government is gonna wreak havoc for the U.S. of A. Nothing against democrats, really. I voted for clinton and voted against bush twice. But that was to try to keep a Rep dominated government from doing drastic things.

The problem is that all the really drastic action being taken is being taken in a BI-partisan mannor. Think about it. Bailout is Bush’s baby but being born by democrats. Iraq war would never have happened if it were not for democrats voting for it. Deregulation (started in the depression to make sure it didnt happen again, HA!) that got us here was purchased by wall street from BOTH parties.
For a two party system to work properly one party needs to be an actual function different choice than the other. This is just no longer the case.
