However, by the (historical) changes this election wrought

Historical change? Technically yes, since it is unusual for Presidents to gain in off-year elections. I repeat ... we won't know for years whether it was a historical achievement or a historical anomaly. One party controlling the Predidency and both Houses of Congress is hardly a historical achievement, although it has been rare for the past couple decades when the President is a Republican. I may be wrong on this, because I am basing it on memory, not research.

A President can win by a landslide; but be able to accomplish nothing if a @$%^&@# like Tom Daschle is in power in the Legislature.

Now, let's be a little less partisan here for a minute, okay? Daschle acted NO differently under Bush than Lott did under Clinton. Judges proceded through the Senate under the Democrats as exactly the same pace as they did under the Republicans during the six years prior. Those remarks will get an "Amen" from the Republican choir around here, don't even use them on me ... how dare those politicians act like politicians? Is that what you are saying? Even you usually do better than that.
And you want to talk about brainwashing, do you? That's rich. I live in a country that is as free as any nation has ever been, but to hear some folks talk, the police state is about to be imposed on them. I live in a country with a free and unfettered press - yet to listen to some folks they are incapable of truth and it's all about mind control and manipulation. I live in a country where more and more people enjoy a level of economic achievement unheard of in the history of the world, but there is chronic wailing and lamentation of the crushing burden of taxes.
You talking about brainwashing, Torone, is like Bill Clinton talking about compulsive sexual disorder - your expertise lies in recognition of your own symptoms.
