Dems Take Congress

I like it when the legislative branch is controlled by one party and the executive branch by another. It forces them to actually talk, and compromise, and think -- things that have been woefully missing during the past four years.
I'm a fiscal conservative (small government, free trade, balanced budget) and a social progressive (birth control, public education, secular government). Bush Sr. was OK by me, as was Clinton. Bush Jr. annoyed me only mildly until he started talking about invading Iraq for no good reason.
I'm not all that interested in dragging Bush through the mud for past misdeeds. I just want us to climb out of the puddle he's dragged us into. Will the Democrats help with that? All politicians suck, but they can't do worse than the Republicans did, can they?
