We Need a Balance of Power

Read here where John at AmericaBlog makes a good point about balance sorely needed between Dems and GOPers in Washington.

We are in big trouble whenever one party rules everything. The last four years have given us an explosion of the debt, unchecked political power, pointless wars, a much greater tax burden being placed on low income Americans, untold job loss, and a total amnesia about the average American voter because the GOP has ruled every roost.

If this is allowed to continue, we'll have a draft in place targeting poor Americans before Bush is done with his 2 month post-electoral vacation ("It's a tough job.... I got a tough job... but it's a tough job you know... did I mention it's a tough job?").

Balance is incredibly important almost everywhere, but we simply cannot afford to have even another year in which Rove-Bush-Cheney control everything in DC.

I don't want or need for the Democrats to take the entire slate. I would like to see them regain the WH and perhaps the Senate. But there has to be a balance.
