I think you're missing the point. First of all, this is an article written by a conservative, not Lemur's opinion. Second, he doesn't want Democrats to control everything, he's just saying there needs to be a speedbump in the process. One party rule is inherently bad, it leads to bad laws and runaway government. A government that does nothing is the best, unless there is a great need in which case both parties will work together to address this need. Just because Nancy Pelosi takes over the House doesn't mean she can get anything done. She would still have to deal with a GOP Senate, or a potential veto from the president. Nothing outrageous will get through that gauntlet.
