and your point is?????
and your point is?????
what I see is politicians more worried about re-election than anything else. It's awfully convenient to bring up the lightning rod issues during election time and then forget about them after being re-elected.
THAT is my point, and if you don't see that these politicians are just playing you then you aren't paying attention. I'm fed with with the entire Congress. I just want to see some !@#$ get done
Of course, you're entitled to your opinion. I'm truly sorry that you've become so terribly impatient with the political process which, by its nature in our system, tends to work slowly. Its participants do tend to focus on getting elected and reelected and when they are in office they have to do a great deal of partnering and horse trading to get as many of the issues they believe in enacted into law. I think that more "!@#$" gets done more rapidly in political processes based on a totalitarian model but, apart from getting the trains to run on time, much of the "!@#$ they accomplish is not to everyone's liking.
By the way, 31 interesting and literate posts since you joined FR on June 27th is great. Thank you and, if no one has welcomed you earlier, let me be the first.
Well to be honest the system works best with a deadlocked government and not one party in total control... To me, they are all politicians playing the same game.
But I think the political climate is more volitile than ever and it seems they are increasingly bomb throwing and getting away from the big issues facing this country.
Personally I couldn't care less about a flag burning amendment or banning gay marriage (especially since most states are taking care of it anyway) when we have much more important things to worry about.
By the way, thanks for the welcome!
This is why the House will hold on to their majority. I want the Senate to go down. Not really, but too bad we could not teach them a lesson of some type. The senate is not going to change. It will continue to be RINO country forever...well maybe not forever, but at least in the foreseeable future.
What is a 'wife-beater's shirt'?
Wow!! It is a tank top. guys mostly wear them.
In other words they're going to take a bunch of votes that get nothing done.
Thanks, and why is it considered a 'wife-beater's shirt?
And it also shows the GOP in Congress as afraid to make a REAL dcision about illegal immigration, taxes and other issues that have BROAD implications. Those issues will alienate less of the US population, than forcing religious/'Family Values' issues down their throats. What type of Gun, Abortion or Religion bill will get passed? A couple of feelgood, do nothing position papers. We can actualy get something done in congress, do it.
and your idea of a "REAL" decision is....?
It's fun to put the Dims on the spot, but all things considered I'd be a lot happier if the Senate just confirmed the darn judges.
P.S. I tend to agree with you but then the devil is always in the details, isn't it?
Enjoy it now because come November 8th these will all disappear until the 2008 election cycle.
Thanks, and why is it considered a 'wife-beater's shirt?
lol. I think that maybe some guy was wearing it while hitting his wife and some liberal saw it and renamed the shirt. You know how those perfect liberals can be...lol.
