The explict stated plan of the republicans from Gingrich on was to have Republicans control both houses of congress and the whitehouse. But then suddenly… that philosophy does not quite work anymore.

Plus,this is total BS because checks and balances is not about parties, it is about branches of government.

I really liked the idea of “checks and balances” and how they worked for the country during Bush’s first 6 years. The Congress as a whole is supposed to provide a check against overreaching Republican Bush’s and Cheney’s power.
