With the Democratic congress at the lowest approval rating EVER!, why should I vote more Democrats into power?

Question

I don't like GW and his policies but I see McCain really is far more of a maverick than Obama. I keep hearing how he voted party lines 90% but when you look at Obama, he voted 97% along party lines. Where is the change that he is touting? Why hasn't he bucked the crowd and tried to change anything until he realized it may get him a few votes?

Since Obama is the most liberal Senator and Biden is the 3rd most liberal, isn't it better to vote for the most liberal Republican? Doesn't that make him more of a centrist than Obama?

I also see the violence perpetrated by the left at the RNC and I get turned off by it. You didn't see any Republicans arrested for FELONIES at the DNC but the RNC has had nearly 200 FELONIES arrests so far! Add to the the 200+ regular arrests.

So what reason should I vote Democrat?

Please don't say something stupid like "He's not Bush" or "He's not Republican". I'm looking for a rational reason to vote Democrat.

Answer 1

You should NOT ... And ... TRUE Americans should NOT !!!

Democrats are TRYING to BLAME Republicans for the FAILURES of the Socialist / Communist / Liberal / Marxist Democrats of the last 65+ YEARS !!!

Democrats have to recognize that since the 73rd Congress in 1933

... for a MAJORITY of THE LAST 65 YEARS

... Democratic Houses of Representatives and Democratic Senates have

... CONTROLLED the nation and the President.

A TOTAL of 38 Sessions

... with Democrats in CONTROL for 28 of those!

WE need to inform/TELL our political representatives that WE NEED TO PASS a Constitutional Amendment for the LINE ITEM VETO.

This will keep the SPECIAL INTEREST GARBAGE from being attached to valuable legislation.

If Congress wants to give the president that power, they will have to pass a constitutional amendment, Supreme Justice John Paul Stevens said. "If there is to be a new procedure in which the president will

play a different role in determining the text of what may become a law, such change must come not by legislation but through the amendment procedures set forth in Article V of the Constitution," Stevens said,

on June 25th, 1998.

IF your special interest is SO valuable, why do you have to HIDE it in valuable legislation?

So, with them REFUSING to PASS the Line Item Veto, in reality, the House and Senate have REALLY been controlling the country!!

AND, with the CURRENT Senate and Congress having the WORST approval rating in HISTORY, hopefully we will see a LOT of changes after the general elections.

A recent Reuters poll is out and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have pulled an upset: They have managed to make George Walker Bush twice as popular as CONGRESS.

RECENTLY - - JUST 8% of Likely Voters now say the DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED Congress is doing a good or excellent job.

Democrats generally believe in heavy fines for honest work, while rewarding sloth and indulgence.

Do YOU think that people should be able to do absolutely nothing productive and get government hand-outs for sloth and indulgence - healthcare, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, STDs, etc. ??

Do YOU want to have YOUR MONEY TAKEN from YOU and YOUR FAMILY to FINANCE these people ???

JUNIOR U. S. Senator Obama did NOT complete his FIRST term in office

... with just 143 days of ACTUAL experience

... HE decided

... that he DESERVED to be THE President of THE United States of America !!!

.

TAXES ... TAXES ... AND ... MORE TAXES ... are what is driving American corporations to downsize in America and expand in "friendlier" countries !!!

I only watched McCains speech, because I was watching football prior and got sucked into the couch.

Don't hold your breath.

First

Congress is made up of 49% Republicans

second

Republicans are fed up with Bush's war too

the arrested protesters may have been fed up Republicans

Answer 5

Oh I agree. While Congress should have been voting on important issues, did they really need to vote on National Watermelon Month?
