I used to think the same thing. Part of the reason for the successes of the 90's can be attributed to Clinton and the Republicans fighting it out and finding common ground. However the last 8 years have been so incredibly effed up by the Republicans, it will take total control by Democrats to reverse things. And, yes, I realize the Democrats have had control of Congress since 2006. But, the unprecedented use of the filibuster by Republicans in the Senate (and Harry Reid's vagina) have rendered the Democrats rather impotent.
The reason the last 8 years have been screwed up is because the republicans controlled everything for 6 of them. We will have the same kind of disaster if the democrats control everything. Don't any of you get it?
It's never a good thing when one political party controls both houses of Congress and the White House. The two party system provides a crucial set of checks and balances which is virtually gone when one party controls all. If you want to to what's best for the country you would vote for McCain to help maintain that vital balance.
And yes if the Republicans controlled both houses of Congress I would vote for Obama.
His plan for prosperity is the same as Bush's, tax cuts for the very wealthy and it will trickle down. Well we know that ain't how it works, the very rich don't trickle it down, the frigging keep it.
So you want to try it for another 4 years? the defination of insanity is to repeat the same thing expecting different results.

hmmmm....
The last time Democrats held both chambers of Congress and the Presidency we had pretty good economic growth, excellent some might say, then we got a Republican majority and the rest of the time was spent pouring over a blue dress.
The last time a Republican held the white House and the Congress was split between the two parties, we got an ill-thought war, and a disaster of an economy.

In the last debate, Obama said a dollar spent on a new program he instituted would mean a dollar cut someplace else. Translation: Obama won't cut spending.
Spending needs to be cut. McCain is our best hope for that.
Yes, and they are the biggest argument against your orginal post and more reason to vote for Obama. A "D" after your name doesn't mean you agree with everyone else with one after theirs. You could have 535 Democratic congressmen, 9 liberal justices and a Democratic president and you would still have debate. We aren't lemmings.

In McCain's OWN WORDS he has voted 90% of the time with bush's policies.......it has NOT brought prosperity except to the ultra -wealthy.
Obama made all these promises, so having a Democrat-controlled congress is a plus for him so all his promises come true. With this, no one will block him unless a committee of REPUBLICANS block his reforms before legislation goes to the floor.
lol. his party isn't even in line with 90% of his ideas. he is a radical. they will raise taxes, make illegals - legal(to secure the next election), adopt secret voting and that is all.

Yeah just look at Grampys record. He voted against spending for the veterans,childrens health programs, medicare, etc but, he did vote to continue spending for Iraq even though he knows how to get Osama Bin Laden. McNasty isn't anyones best hope.

Now you were saying?
That was for the first two years of Clinton. That's it.
So the dems had control the last two years and shouldn't take any responsibility for what's going on but since they had it for 2 years in the 1990's they should take the responsibility for anything good that happened?
