I can't wait!

What amazes me is that in the last 44 years since LBJ, we have had 5 Republican Presidents for 28 years and 3 Democrat Presidents for 18 years but it's all the Democrats fault. I still say both parties are at fault but how can Republicans blame Democrats totally when they have been in control more than Democrats over last 44 years?

Easy.

While there have been periods where Republicans held all three branches, Democrats still could filibuster in the Senate and did - often.

It's no coincidence the worst damage was done under LBJ and Obama when Democrats had unlimited power (filibuster-proof) to push through their radical agenda. The rest of time, it's been gridlock more or less.

I get it. So when there is a Democrat President it's their fault but when it's a Republican President, it's Congress's fault. Thanks for clearing that up.

Dave, while 'progressives' are obsessed with presidential politics as the "end game", I think it's foolish for limited government conservatives to believe any Republican administration and Congress will limit their own power and start trimming the fat. Look at all the budget battles, Washington is a dysfunctional political circus.

No, the resistance and push back is going to come at the state level. I think we're in the beginning of that silent revolution and I believe our best bet for true reform.

When it comes to 'progressive' ideology, just do as the local sheriffs do:

Sheriffs across US refuse to enforce tougher gun laws

While I’m not surprised that the States are starting to give the finger to the Feds, I am surprised it only took 5 years.

I didn’t think anyone could manage to completely fuck things up in such a shot time. Quite an accomplishment.

As usual, the sane people get it and the insane ones don't.

Two term prez! Poor saps are still bitching and whining after 5 years. Only 1000 more days until you bitch and whine about Hillary for 8 years. That's 16 straight years of you bitching and whining like babies.
