| You say you want a revolution? |

Well, you know... The president's approval ratings are about 33%. Congress's are about 29%. Seems to me it's time for a whole new government. The president does not act in accordance with what the most of the American public wants. And the Democratic Congress acts like a bunch of castrated ninnies. I emphasize "acts" because A. Section 8 of the Constitution grants the Congress power to control military funding without presidential approval. And B. no one wants to fil-i-bus-ter the important issues that people support. Yet Congress acts like any "partisan" issue that can't get a 2/3 override is just utterly hopeless and all you can do is throw your hands in the air and pout. It suddenly occured to me why they do this. On the Children's Healthcare issue (which is part of the reason I write this), a newspaper article on the issue said something along the lines of, "But at least when Bush vetoes it the Democrats will get a 2008 campaign issue." That is terrible. True, but terrible. Terrible mostly because the Children's Health issue is one that should have been dealt with several years ago and not conviniently put off till the next election. The Democrats want to hold on to their seats for as long as possible. So if they just use the lame "We don't have the 2/3 override" excuse, enough newspapers reprint it, enough Americans read it and accept it on the whole. Plus if they don't filibuster, they don't come off too radical, or too partisan, or whatever. And besides, who wants to stay up all night reading out of a phone book with no bathroom breaks? That sucks! Re-election/Presidential Election time comes, they can say we tried really hard last time and maybe if we had a president on our side we really shake things up! Everyone is happy! Democrats get something to get them reelected and fix things next time (which is really what it's all about; do what you can to stay in power; aka Iron Law of Institutions). People keep dying in a war. And poor kids stay sick. Oh, well. We'll get 'em next time, Tiger! |
