Ok, so our country is having all these economic problems right now, and everyone blames the Bush administration. I suggest it's a Democratic Senate instead. They absolutely fail to stay in touch with the American people. Here is just a simple example of that: protecting our borders. This is an excellent video if you have the time to watch it.

The fact that we're in a Presidential election year doesn't help matters at all, IMO.
We haven't had a Congress that was worth a shit since the early to mid-1990's. Retrospectively speaking, since I was like eight at the time, I don't agree with everything in the Contract For America but at least Newt and the Republicans went in and DID something. I suspect/hope that we might see something similar in the next Congress, because pretty much every projection/poll I've seen shows that the Democrats are going to make significant gains in both houses of Congress. If Obama wins, you could see a lot of stuff get pushed through in the first two years. RE: don't ask don't tell... I think we should absolutely do away with this policy, but I'm not sure if doing so in the middle of a war is the most prudent thing to do. |
