Actually, history doesn't support that argument. Neither one of America's main political parties tends to hold the presidency for more than two terms in a row.
There are exceptions, of course (Reagan's 2 terms + GHW Bush's 1 term), but generally you'll find a long-established pattern of two terms/eight years of one party followed by two terms/eight years of the other.

it's really a recent phenom -- most of the time one party held power for a decade or more
* 1801-1849 Jefferson to Polk 1801-1849 (48 yrs)
* 1853-1861 Pierce & Buchanan (who happily relinquishes the title of 'worst president ever') (8yrs)
* 1861-1885 Lincoln to Arthur (24 yrs)
* 1897-1913 McKinley - Taft (16 yrs)
* 1921-1933 Harding - Hoover (12 yrs)
* 1933-1953 FDR-Truman (20 yrs)
