You say "national gridlock between the President, Congress, and the Supremes" like that would be a bad thing.
IMO, government functions best for me when it's severely hog-tied. |

Hi I'm new here- not sure where to go! This seems to be an interesting thread however, so I thought I might jump in! Is there a thread for newbies that I'm missing? As for the topic at hand:
Politics as usual- Just because you have won a battle does not mean you have won a war. Not that I'm completely cynical. I'm pretty sure huge progress could be made from there. Now, let me go back and actually vote. -Already misspelling the obvious. Last edited by Cicero; 10-19-2006 at 01:19 PM. |

Maybe some accountability? Maybe some moderation? Maybe some attention to the scientific and scholarly community rather than just corporations and their sponsored ideological think-tanks. (Not that those wont still be influential, just maybe not the only input.) Maybe some debate about important issues, now a bit more in play, less rubberstamping done deals with the WH.
I think change would be a relief to Bush. Then he can do what he must know needs to be done with/ in/ to Iraq, change course not stay the course, and have options to blame the other side if things get worse, yet still make a claim to leadership if things maintain or even (dare say) improve. It gives him some sympathy room. |

Good point, warch. Gives bush's biographers a scapegoat, when they are trying to argue he's not the worst President in history.

Boogey-Man Politics...
I'll bet that's the answer.
