Congress once again vacating powers to the Executive?

[milohimself]

Then 78% of Americans have no grasp of the consequences of failing to raise the debt ceiling.

If they don't have the balls to make a decision, why send them back? This is total BS. Spineless cowards, the whole 'D' and 'R' lot of them.

Look at what good the R's did electing all these Tea Party members to congress. They ran on the idea that they won't give Dems even a millimeter and nothing is getting done. All they're doing is talking about what they're not going to do. Partisan politics is such a load of crap. I'm about to give up on following politics and voting all together. This country is run by the people with the most money to buy votes.

Voting is the only means by which to prevent what you perceive the biggest load of bs from happening.

Only if there are candidates worthy of voting for or making that change.

Not that your vote for POTUS makes all that much difference, but you're telling me that if Bachmann gets the GOP nod that you won't take a deep breath and vote for obama?

He's actually a closet Palin fan. .


Sorry VOLatile, it was an impulse that I couldn't resist.

You're right. I expect the same type of leadership from the Speaker, Senate Leaders, and the POTUS that Sarah displays in tough situations. I'm expecting a news conference to announce their resignations at any moment.

If you have taught for 17 years then surely you are
intelligent and informed enough to understand the
Palin didn't resign because of any lack of leadership,
competence or problem solving skills.

Don't pretend she didn't resign because she was
kneecapped by two dozen frivilous lawsuits brought
by the Chicago crowd of gangsters. (which she
eventually won batting 1.000)

"May we always be happy and
our enemies know it!"

Now if you want someone to resign because of lack
of leadership ability and even just basic competence
to perform his job, how about Obama?

I am on record in regards to my displeasure of Obama's leadership skills.

I am intelligent enough to analyze a situation and come to a logical conclusion. I still say Sarah quit when the going got tough. Sorry, but that's how I see it.

I'll probably vote Obama either way, but if sh*t doesn't start happening then I'll just write in the DemSocialist candidate for the hell of it. And if Bachmann is elected, I'll be on the first plane out of the country. I should probably pre-purchase a ticket to Stockholm or Oslo just in case.

Well you didn't analyze far enough, you jumped to a
hasty conclusion without considering all the facts.

When I was going to school we learned that was one
of the six basic categories of fautly thinking.

Nowadays it seems they teach faulty thinking as the norm.

"The argument that the two parties should represent
opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the
Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea
acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers.
Instead, the two parties should be almost identical,
so that the American people can throw the rascals
out at any election without leading to any profound
or extensive shifts in policy. Then it should be
possible to replace it, every four years if necessary,
by the other party, which will be none of these
things but will still pursue, with new vigor,
approximately the same basic policies."
Quigley, 1967 (in a book that was highly suppressed
for 35 years until Clinton lauded Quigley.)

In 2006 the debt ceiling was raised on a vote of
52-48, the vote was along party lines, 52 Rs, 48 Ds.

Food for thought.

I'll probably vote Obama either way, but if sh*t doesn't start happening then I'll just write in the DemSocialist candidate for the hell of it. And if Bachmann is elected, I'll be on the first plane out of the country. I should probably pre-purchase a ticket to Stockholm or Oslo just in case.

I can't imagine why anyone would vote for Obama but
to each his own.

I can hook you up if you decide Norway, but my man
considers all Swedes 'sissies' because they didn't resist
the nazis.

As far as writing in candidates I founded the 'party'
party and have been writing in candidates since the
sixties.

Most of the time I wrote in Pat Paulsen and Foster
Brooks but did write in Mickey and Mighty Mouse one
time.

I had so many people writing in Mickey Mouse that
the state of Tennesse changed it's law so that polls
didn't report write in votes anymore.
