If the United States is a desolate, barren, smoldering wasteland in 2004, with gestapo police on every corner and mandatory right-wing propaganda played from PA systems in all government buildings, then you can say "I told you so."

It's my vague understanding that every time one party has completely controlled the government, vast, unwise, and sweeping changes were made. That's really what the much ballyhoo'd "checks and balances" system is supposed to prevent, but I can't see how it could work very well if one party controls everything. It's not about Republicans vs. Democrats. I just don't want a king.
