Didn't mean to be overly sarcastic, just thought that the example was enough. We would not go back and forth between two extremes just because the government is held by different parties back and forth. That's like saying if marijuana were legalized and a republican were to be elected president he'd make it illegal again, and then when a different person becomes president it's be legal again. That wouldn't happen for any significant period of time because eventually the PEOPLE are going to stand up for what they want. And that's just a simple law, let alone entire government institutions. It's like looking to the fact Bush wants to privatize social security and saying "oh no, now we have two parties with differing views on how to run government, it's going to lead to a disaster." It's the nature of government - you vote for who you agree with and don't vote for who you don't agree with. In time, some issues will take hold and some new ones will arise.
