Does fiscal violence count?  :-)

It's guilt by not having someone better than Rove, mostly.  The guy  
knows how to get votes, and it's all he knows.

It's also not like the Democratic people are any better... the whole  
"A vote for McCain is a vote for 8 more years of the same thing"  
mantra, is just as logically and morally wrong as the Republicans are  
doing.

It's just normal Presidential election horse-shit.  Let's talk about  
what WILL happen (the "here and now") as you call it if either guy  
gets elected.  Not what their strategists do to garner votes from  
idiots.  ('Cause frankly, none of us here on the list are idiots.)  If  
Obama's elected, all checks and balances are gone.  That's fact.  And  
the ultra-Liberals will take advantage of that with prejudice.  He  
will not be able to stop them without wanting a second term badly  
enough to convince his own Party to back off.   If McCain's elected,  
the House and Senate will hold his ultra-Conservatives in check.
