First, I'll tell you that this statement comes from one who has voted for the GOP candidate for President in every election except 2004 and now 2008. Here's my question...

What would be wrong with a complete sweep on the White House and Congress, including a filibuster-proof Senate?

That's only happened twice before in recent history. What were the results?

Franklin D. Roosevelt had that kind of political power after the 1932 elections. The results were the creation of Social Security, the FDIC to guarantee bank deposits, Fannie Mae to assure the ability of people to buy homes, and the greatest concentration of infrastructure construction on the country's history under the WPA, etc.

The next time an American President had that kind of power was under Lyndon Johnson. In his six years as President Medicare and Medicaid were established, the Civil Rights Act was passed, federal aid to education was signifiantly increased, poverty was attacked with the passage of the Economic Opportunity Act, and after much groundwork being laid during the Johnson administation, the Environmental Protection Act was passed by the Democratically-controlled Congress in the first year of the Nixon administration.

If we were to make as much progress with a Democratic Congress and White House in upcoming years, what would be wrong with that? It seems to me that a whole lot more good was accomplished for the country during those short periods of time than what's been done other than all the bickering and back-biting that has gone on for the last decade or more.
