Balance Of Power
Why are the 2006 elections so important? What are three or four senate and house seats, more or less, going to do to help America?
It will help balance the power.
We're out of whack. Our government was not set up to run on a one party system. There was suppose to be balance. There was suppose to be discussions and debates of ideology. Supposedly by having the grand discourse we would end up with a compromise that would be best for America.
There is no debate and discourse underway in US government today. With the republicans ruling both houses of congress and the white house, debate has ended and dissention is shouted down.
We need disagreements. We need a variety of ideas. We need the heated exchanged between passionate men who will bring two pictures to the table of the same situation.
We need balance!
The best thing for our country would be for the democrats to take back one of the houses. Let the dissenting and debates begin again. One party rule is not best for America.

What we really need is some legislators instead of 535 Political hacks..And it seems as though we are stuck with too many all powerful demagogs that have been there since the discovery of dirt..These folks control everything that happens on the Hill and any new ideas don't have a chance to be introduced..What shall we call that? Anchient Funk?
I agree the political hacks need to be removed but my own representative is one you would probably label a demagog. LOL I agree new blood needs to be introduced when the elder statemen that are serving turn deaf ears to any new ideas. Term limits have both negatives and positives. I'm truthfully not sure which would outweight the other.
There is no debate now not because the republicans rule both congress and the white house, but because the democratic party seems to be taken over by radical leftists who turn a deaf ear to anything Bush says. They can't get over their hatred of him. (IMHO)
I disagree. If anything a dislike of Bush would further discourse and discussion, not inhibit it. I fail to see the "radical left" that has taken over the democratic party.
What you don't see is that there is SUPPOSE to be disagreement. That's how we WORK. That's when we're at our BEST.
