The Republicans have achieved incredible gains in the mid-term elections. Now imagine all the wonderful things they can do once they have a Republican president! They can finally implement all their small-government ideas and bring us closer to the Constitution as written.
Or not. We've been down this road before, and in recent memory: from 2001 to 2007 the Republicans owned all three branches of government and did as much to destroy the Constitution and America, in as little time, as the Democrats could dream of in their perverted fantasies.
No matter how many times the two major parties toss power back and forth in their little Kabuki dance, most everyone watches in rapt attention on the belief that every exchange signals a new dawn. Yet nothing ever changes. Government continues its steady march toward the total state; it continues spending ever larger amounts than it can afford; it continues operating ever further beyond the boundaries of the Constitution; and the Titanic continues sinking as the band plays on.
