Per the way Newsweek asks poll questions, pundits argue 51% of Americans Support the Democrats pursuing the Impeachment of Bush.
Actual Poll Question and Results:
As I read you some things the Democrats might do over the next two years if they take control of Congress, please tell me if you think each should be one of their TOP priorities, a lower priority, or should not be done at all.
Impeaching George W. Bush
Top Lower Not DK priority priority done
Current Total 28 23 44 5 =100 Republicans 5 15 78 2 =100 Democrats 47 25 23 5 =100 Independents 27 26 44 3 =100
You are a registered Democrat. Like most registered Democrats you are very ignorant of how our political system works. Your post certainly reveals how little you know of how our government works.
We have a two party system. At any one time there will be be about 180 liberals and 180 conservatives in the house. There will be some combination of Rinos and Dinos that make up the remaining 75 house members. If a majority of the 75 are RINOS the 180 conservatives will rule. If a majority of the 75 are DINOS the liberals will rule.
There has been no time in our history that either conservatives or liberals have had enough seats to control the House or the Senate for that matter.
If you vote for a Democrat that fits your fairly conservative ideology you are voting for the rule of the far left liberals that make up the majority of Democrats. If you vote for Republican that is far more of a liberal than you would like, you are voting for the 180 conservatives to be in charge of the house.
Every House committee has more members of the party with the most members. And if the minority party holds views that you support but you have elected a person from the other party you have insured that legislation that you support will NEVER get out of the committee... let alone be enacted. The liberals will rule.
Like most ignorant people you vote for individuals. If you were allowed to vote in the players for a football team you would vote in 33 great quarterbacks and then wonder why your team never won a single game. Politics is a team effort and can only succeed as a team. A player not a member of the party may agree with your views but will not even be a member of the team. And will vote for his team to be in charge. Conservative Democrats vote for Liberal control... Liberal Republicans do the same thing.
Politics is a team effort. The majority party determines what bills and acts will be considered. The majority party determines the federal budget. The majority party rules. You are obviously too ignorant to understand that very basic fact.
That somehow find their way into the nearest trash can.
I'm sure they cherry-picked the lefty responses out of the lot! ;-)
Great post!
