BTW, I apologize for getting a bit snarky myself. And yes I know I shouldn't have tried to put you in that box but I was trying to make the point that many of the people who are screaming loudest now were fully incompliance when this was happening under Clinton.
This is why whenever anyone wants to push any kind of law that curtails freedom or expands government I always try to point out that one day they're not going to be in power, the other side will, and how will they like it then? As we can see currently, they're not liking it at all but I want to rub their noses in the fact that they were fine with it when -their- side did it.
As for the Congress, well the Republicans have the majority, (same in the Senate) but the Democrats still control it more than the Republicans do (again, same in the senate) and that's because the Republicans 1) refuse to act like the WON the election 2) have no balls and 3) got away from their conservative base (which is what got them the Congress in the first place!). If they'd go back to cutting taxes, cutting spending, and reducing government things would be great. This is why they might lose it in 06, and why Hillary is almost guarenteed to get elected President: The Republicans are ignoring their base and acting like Democrats. If they don't start getting tough on illegal immigration, I'm voting straight Libertarian.
And if McCain runs I'M VOTING FOR HILLARY. And you can take that to the bank.
