Having a Democrat controlled congress would it not be best to elect a Republican?

Question

the system seems to work better when you have a balance of power?

this is not a Monarchy so the president doesn't have absolute power

Answer 1

We seem to get nothing done that way.. Republicans had 6 years of complete control.. Balanced would mean that it's time for Dems to have 6 years.. Elect Obama for that..

Answer 2

Samuel Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, said "When Congress is in Session, No mans wallet or house is safe".  So yes it would be better if congress spent their time fighting with the Pres, instead of going after us.

Answer 3

there is a difference between a balance of power and a struggle for it, and what you are suggesting usually ends up being the latter

Answer 4

Do you understand government at all?  The democrats have a simple majority.  It takes 3/4 majority to pass bills and laws.  The republicans are still gumming up the works and Bush vetoes anything that will help out the middle class.  I is such a shame that so many Americans know so little and can so easily be influenced based on their own prejudices.  Just look at the last 8 years and you should answer for yourself.  But if you approve of what has happened to our country in the past 8 years, you don't know your rear end from a hole in the ground.

By the way, Phoenix, AZ called and they know that they are not exactly a village anymore but they want you to send their idiot back.  

Answer 5

We had a better economy when Repubs were majority and Clinton was prez. After the whole Nancy "lights out" Pelosi stunt I think it would be best.
