Along those lines, let me offer my advice to the 110th Congress:
Sit there with your hands folded. Let the Dems flush the whole thing down the toilet.
The Senate should fillibuster any and everything, including which direction the sun rises and sets in.
I like GWB's strategy. These swine won, let them govern. The people wanted change - they got it.
Speaker Pelosi
Majority Leader Reid
Judiciary Chair Kennedy
Let the whole thing implode!
Of Course. The most ethical congress in history!!!!!!!
That is such a tempting scenario. It does puzzle me why Republicans can't do what the RATS have done, govern by being the minority. Filibuster anything and everything. Bring charges and investigations on any likely RAT target. You get the drift. When did being the elected leader of the USA take second place to the heads of congress?
Good grief, everyone is acting like the world has come to an end. There will be plenty of political battles ahead, and the constitutional powers of the President of the United States are enormous.
In fact, Bush will be more popular in 2007-08, have more relative power and be less of a lame duck with a Democratic Congress than with a Republican one. Further, any death or resignation of a US Senator from a state with a GOP governor, and we are back in business in the US Senate.
For those across FR who purport to care so much about our troops in harms way (as I believe they genuinely do), let's give the President of the United States a bit of latitude as commander in chief and Head of State to foster as much unity as possible for our men and women in uniform,. The election is over. We lost. It's Thanksgiving. Now is the time to rally as much unity as possible for our nation.
Bush is doing what any man or woman fit for the high office of President should do. We are in capable hands under the leadership of this fine man.
Don Young (R) Alaska says that while he will not be chairman of the Transportation Committee he expects to be able to direct at least a token amount of pork toward Alaska, although it won't be high-grade bacon.
