Congress

[Isabelle90]

No the Democrats are not rolling over and whininig, they keep sending the same legilastion back and he keeps vetoing it, but how can people blame the democrats for not sdoing what they wer elected to do, when they simply do not hav the votes to over ride a veto??

It seems like a moot point. Our legislative branch is made up of elected officials. They represent the people. Our country is is divided fairly equally on government issues, and so our congress seems to be the same. Take into consideration the last two presidential elections....

Yes but the the election was decided by the Supreme Court as you pointed out NOT the people, we have so many issues to work out in thsi Country, but my point still remian if there are not enough repulicans willing to over ride a veto the Dems are stuck, they are doing the will of the people but they keep getting vetoed and no support to over ride it

MKEMSE, try to understand this. the Supreme Court did not or never will have the power to give an election to anybody. People don't respond to this question you raise continually about the Supreme Court simply because the assertion you make is nonsense. People are sick of this nonsense. The majority of the people in Congress are middle of the road patriots looking to serve their country, both Democrats and Republicans. They, for the most part ignore the big mouth liberals and right wing Rep. Occasionally the public will throw out radical elements like Tom Dashal, who had to learn his lesson the hard way.

The people did not elect big mouth, support the party line Democrats in the year 2006. They elected Blue Dog Democrats, who are closer to the Republicans in philosophy than the liberal Democrats. The President has not had to use his veto often, the reason is that he has the support of enough fair minded Democrats that it has not been necessary to use the veto.

Nancy thought the new Democrats would add to her power to do things. No way! The country is still a conservative majority, made up of conservative Dem's and Rep's. Thank God most party members are Americans first. That's the reason the Democratic leadership can not figure out how Bush has out-smarted them for eight years. Notice with the advent of Obama that the traditional leadership of the Dem. Party stands to be elected to nothing. Just to keep peace, Obama may bring a few of them along on his coat tale.
