Nice fucking argument. You can't argue against the facts, so you resort to namecalling. I honestly wouldn't care if Kerry had lost, if Bush wasn't continuously fucking up foreign relations and eliminating our freedoms at home. Kerry wasn't that great, but Bush is driving us into the ground, which is why people voted Kerry.

Also, Mantra, Checks and Balances mainly operate when all 3 branches of government aren't dominated by the same party. The President isn't going to Veto many of his own party's Bills/etc...
