    more power! MORE!

    So... Does anyone in the GOP consider that all the power they're amassing for the Executive branch is going to be held by the next Democratic president? I see three possibilities:

    (1) No; they're too short-sighted or stupid, or they don't care about that far in the future because Jesus is coming back / pacemakers don't last forever / the moonbase is nearly finished;

    (2) They don't plan on ever letting another party control the presidency (thanks Diebold!);

    (3) Both parties are really working together, so it doesn't matter.

    Can anyone think of other options?
