I told someone over the weekend that the Republicans really are relying on Democrats being violence-hating, gun-hating, pacifists, who won't ever get out their shotguns for a political reason. "We have the NRA on *our* side, so they won't ever come at *us* with lethal force...." Not that I'm recommending violence, but it may come to that.

My husband is predicting that the Executive Branch will attempt to cancel the 2008 elections, and/or dissolve Congress, as they can do under Parliamentary systems.
