Who are they going blame for everything NOW? Or will they just kill the decenters?

I hope you're happy America.

2. They will somehow blame the partisan Democrats
they don't know any other way, then say we are partisan and that is why.

9. Because we didn't dare even FIGHT BACK ... "unseemly"
They fucking took the rifles out of our hands before we had a chance. "That's class warfare" they'd snipe, while all the while THEY WERE ALREADY FIGHTING THAT WAR and winning. We are SOOOO screwed unless we step up and acknowledge this -- take back the phrase "class warfare" the same way we're trying to re-embrace "liberal."

8. Don't know if it was intentional, but I like your use of "decenters"
Anyone who doesn't just want to get "in the center" (THEIR version of it) and quit being EXTREME (translated as extreme LEFT) gets it.

13. Oh, no, you're wrong.
Clinton can probably be blamed for 20-30 years after he's gone to that Great Oval Office in the Sky.

Shoot, FDR's still getting blamed.

14. Yes, but what Senate, House and Judicary powers do they have?
Edited on Tue Jan-31-06 05:23 PM by PhilipShore
I am not a lawyer, but the first impression -- is that well the Repukes control, the house, Senate, the Judiciary.

Well, it may be true that they control it, but do they have any powers in it?

For example, the House and Senate are run by the lobby industry. The Judiciary, one can argue, does not have a rule of law, which is respected-- and followed by the citizens-- and even the courts themselves. The Republican lawyers ignore the liberal rules of law, and the Democrats, are too afraid to be a liberal, even though most of the laws on the books that have any value were written by liberal lawyers and judges.

The ordinary citizens of the USA and the world-- don’t understand most of the new laws that are written-- by the House and the Senate, because they are written in lawyer speak-- by the lobby industry corporate lawyers, and then rubber stamped into law by both Democrats and Republicans.
