But it's the voters who determine if one side "gets power" over the other. If today Americans decide they want Obama to be president, with a Congress already controlled by the Democrats, that's democracy at work, isn't it?
You still aren't making any sense. If it is run by special interests, what does it matter whether D's or R's have the majority? Or did you mean one special interest group gaining absolute power over the other special interest group? barfo
I think that a GOP partisan would extend that to the eight years prior, and then a Democrat would go back 12 years, etc. The hyperbole about Bush and Co. "ripping up the Constitution" and being liars and cheats is pretty old, and the best thing about McCain losing would be that it would shut the whiners up for a while. Ed O.
It won't shut the whiners up, it just replaces one group of whiners with a different group of whiners. barfo
I agree with this. My point was that as time goes along, special interests have more and more influence.
