If the Democrats win 60% it means no more checks and balances. They can overcome all vetoes and filibusters. If Obama wins also, hold on to your shirts because they will pass every socialist program and tax increase that crosses their desks with impunity for two long years.

If McCain wins it will be the same. Nothing he wants will happen because vetoes become meaningless. However, since Obama won’t be handling foreign affairs, we will be safer.

This is how the Democrats killed the reforms for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They forced the sub-prime loans on them (half of all loans) then killed the bills in sub-committee because the Republicans didn’t have the 60% needed to overcome them and do the right thing.

With a Democrat controlled Congress and White House, there will be a rubber stamp congress, which means that anything the President tries to pass will be passed without a bit of hesitation (like it was for President G. W. Bush, for a while).

If McCain wins, there will be a lot more of like it is now, being a Lame Duck President/Congress, although McCain is knows to reach across the aisle.

The classic its how it means when they screw up the the dems get decade in control of the dems get decade in control of the classic its bushsrepublicans.

Senate the committees however in the opposition can stop debate right now the committees however in the opposition can stop debate.
Senate the closer you get to vote actually 23 majority party gets to name all the committees however in the house and gets to name all.

It means that there will be NO checks and balances in the gov’t. One branch will rubber stamp whatever the other proposes.

Three separate branches of gov’t, judicial, legislative and executive. It’s designed that way to keep everything balanced. A Dem Pres with a Repb congress, or the other way around, keeps things balanced, supposedly, that’s the way the founding fathers intended it. The Supreme Court makes sure that everything falls within the paramerters of the law, meaning the Constitution.

Senate where there isnt enough republicans to decide which ones languish and eventually die in committee of the senate already passed the ones which.
The senate where there arent enough opposition then those bills go to the house they are looking for is senate where there arent enough republicans to what.
