Republicans show their support of our Troops

[veruca]

The truth is, however, the Democrats would have treated your money worse and without the benefit of raising revenues through tax cuts.

Yes, the Republicans have spent like drunken sailors. But, most of the public recognizes the Democrats would have been no different and probably worse in that respect.

On the other hand, the Republicans have passed important legislation that has made this country more secure. Something the Democrats wouldn't do. Well, about 2/3 of them anyway.

See how they voted and ask yourself. Would a Democratic Congress have been willing to fight terrorism the way it must be done?

I know it was pre-9/11 but when we had a Dem president and Rep congress spending (for most part) was kept in CHECK. I definitely don't think the country is in good hands when one party controls all three branches of govt...it almost becomes akin to a dictatorship. I really don't care if we have a Dem pres/Rep congress or vice versa but I definitely think it's dangerous when one party controls everything and the way this country has been completely run into the ground these past few years clearly reflects that. You have your opinion and I have mine. So be it.

And your definition of a libertarian. Or do you know what a libertarian is?

[BIG IRISH]

The Democrats were doing the same thing before the Republicans took power, you just didn't get to see it because you were crawling around in diapers (so, basically the only thing that has changed is who's in charge ).

Congress sucks. Both parties. It really doesn't matter who is in charge. Both parties could give a about this country. They care about two things - the lobbies filling their pockets, and throwing enough bones to the general public to get re-elected so the lobbies can continue filling their pockets.

Unfortunatedly we're pretty much ed no matter who is in charge....

Getting rid of the electoral College would be a great step for democracy
I'm all for voting out the current crooks and replacing them with new
ones.
How about a LAW that would forbide riders that don't have anything to do with the original?

Only if you want California, New York, and Illinois picking all future Presidents does this make sense.

I'm for that. Of course, you've got to do something about obstructionists too.

My mom doesn't have a basement, but if she did thats definetly where I'd live.

This country is too damn big for libertarianism and the people are too damn uneducated. I've pretty much given up on people actually caring.

We've considered it actually.

"God forbid something happens on our mass transit system and the American people find out that Republicans could not find time to add provisions to make mass transit safer yet you found time to add a measure that would prohibit internet gambling," said one representative speaking before the House.

Even if they voted a stright ticket they still don't outnumber the rest of the states. One voice, one vote, well unless you live in Florida or are dead in Texas, than you can VOTE 2 OR 3 TIMES.

Well, you seem to have a good sense of humor atleast.

I think the electoral college is a great idea. It gives small states more say and keeps larger states from forming too much of a majority.

EEEK. I agreed with Yonivore...

The biggest drawback to electoral college voting, IMO, is that states like New Hampshire and Iowa have an inordinate amount of influence in the primaries.

The electoral college has nothing to do with primaries.

[PixelPusher]

not directly, but the "winner takes all" aspect of it does.

Exactly; there are too many common marriotts out there.
