<< we're better off with the Repubs in control of congress(the purse strings) & in order to keep their radical right at bay, putting a democrat in the White House >>

I agree. In California we tried the other way (Democrat Congress Republican Governor) and it doesn't work as well. Using a veto to stop a spending bill is guaranteed to gore someone's ox, and makes the person limiting the spending an easy target. The Democrats here love to spend money, and have been known to pass bills for the express purpose of having the governor veto them. That gives them the ability to say they voted for helping the children (or whatever) and that mean old Republican took the bread right out of their mouths.

<<I believe there definitely should be obscenity laws of some sort for the internet.

Since the internet is international, how would you enforce it? If you hold the ISP responsible, you are asking them to police the content of every single person using their service - a completely impossible task.
