Question

Aundine --- yep, I still kind of got a thing for those twinkley gas aliens :-)

live long and prosper !

Answer 1

Sure. If McCain wins, he will probably do just that. He has threatened to quit the Republicans and join the Democrats. We should have kicked him out years ago. He's not a maverick, he's a Democrat. I'm a Republican that is going to vote for Bob Barr, Libertarian 2008. Join me. Barr is going to build the fence and no amnesty!

Answer 2

Absolutely, it happens in congress, I'm sure it could happen in the Presidency.

Answer 3

Of course. It might not be politically popular, but it's certainly legal.

Answer 4

I don't think they can...

I wanted to answer this because OH MY GOD, YOU MUST BE A TREKKIE! (Episode Metamorphsis...yes!) And I am one, so I got excited!

Answer 5

Why would you think they could not have a party..

Answer 6

no they CAN NOT

Answer 7

Party affiliation has nothing to do with the way they work the pen.

Look at what Bush ran on, and what he did in office. 2 different things.

Look at when the democrats captured congress. They increased the iraq supplimental spending by 40+ billion, and put the war with iran back on the table.
