Another reason Bush is a bad president

It seems that Bush and the republicans are headed towards a historic congresional rule change that will eliminate the filibuster. I am a republican who wonders how such a moron(bush) ever got into office. One thing that is critical to a good system of government is a balance of power. Equally important is the concept of a minority party with sufficient power to influence to politics of the majority. This has the effect of moderating extreemist tendancies, which are usually bad. The smart thing for Bush would be to change the rules, get the judges confirmed, and then put the rules back in place. There is no guarantee that the next president will be republican. What happens when the people of the US decide to put the Dems back in power??? On that day, the minority republicans are going to be cursing the idiot who got rid of the filibuster.

On a side note, if you want an efficient governement, get a dictatorship.
