It seems  to me that is
what we'll get if we ever see a Democratic President with  half the power
that President Bush has wielded. 


If so, it would surely be 30 plus years down the road. It's  taken about that 
long for the ideology of the Bush administration to gain this  much power. 
And he's the first president of any Party to so successfully  consolidate power 
into the executive branch at the expense of the other branches  of government. 
(If I'm wrong, I'll stand corrected by any true historians among  you.) 
Plus...I'm thinking really hard...I cannot name any Democratic president  who has 
been as far left as Bush is far right. I cannot think of any, either,  who has 
been so loathe to compromise or even to listen to opposing viewpoints. 
Another thing: social conservatives have become such a  persistent influence 
that even the most progressive Democrats hesitate to oppose  them on certain 
hot button issues. The new Demos who gain office this election  will not always 
be voting along Party lines, that's for sure.
My two bits...add a $5 and maybe you can buy a cheap cup of  coffee.  (grin)
