Mark, that post should really embarrass you. Separation of powers has absolutely nothing to do with political parties.

If you're trying to talk about having Congress and the White House *controlled* by persons of the same political party, you're forgetting the years when the Dems had the same situation, which again has nothing to do with separation of powers.

To the extent you claim Bush had a rubber stamp Republican Congress, you're forgetting his failure to use the veto power and the number of times he---foolishly in my opinion---went along with Democrat advocated bills in the interest of *getting along.*

You probably don't realize that you're doing your cause absolutely no favors by your discourse on this thread.

What you have done is vilified---across the board---anyone who does not share your very liberal opinions. Your views are expressed in terms of black and white. Yet you rail at what you consider to be the injustice of lumping so-called *fringe* protesters with those whom you share a POV that you consider less extreme.

When I asked you about Cindy Sheehan, you disclaimed any real knowledge of her. Yet, Sheehan was heartily embraced by a pretty wide cross section of the left and was ultimately used--in my opinion--at a time when she probably needed psychiatric care. I submit that if you are really unfamiliar with the rhetoric employed by Sheehan, then you really lack sufficient familiarity with the anti-war movement on which to base your black and white characterizations.
