A very real fear that you all should have is the liklyhood that the Dems will have a super majority and the Republicans will be unable to filibuster. With Obama in the White House, no one will be able to stop the forward march of socialism.

Add in the replacement of up to 3 Supreme Court justices and life as we know it will change. I hope this isn't something any of you are comfortable with.

Carefull what you wish for.

And I promise to never vote for Bush again! Enough already!

I've argued one should vote for McCain for just this reason. I think government works best when there's a balance of power.

As for the Supreme court, I'm less concerned with confirming one idiology over the other and more concerned with objective skilled people who will do their best to interpret the constitution. I happened to like Roberts...Alito quite a bit less.

i TOTALLY agree with you.. go figure.

That being said, I look at everything and think to myself that the change that may come is better than more of the same..
