I think you’re right: they’re ignoring it. At this point, they’ll keep ignoring it. To what appears to be a vast majority of these people, the Constitution is something to wipe your ass with, not honor. That much is obvious.

The dilemma we’re faced with at this point is: who will do less damage? Remember which party was in power for most of those years. Members of Congress simply can’t be lumped together as a whole. It’s not like they could do anything when the ruling party stonewalls the minority, nor could they change things when one man has the authority to overrule Congress without even needing to justify why.

I’m not the only one who sees how quickly this country is becoming a shitty place to live. At this point, I think it’s a matter of when, not if. We’ll eventually reach a breaking point. We’ll have a civil war or a revolution. The resulting government will either be like the one we started out as, or a totalitarian police state. Let it come, I say. I’m getting bored with all the foreplay.

postsimian,

Sorry for the long response time, I’ve been away for a week. You are making my point. Congress has had the authority the entire 7 year power grab to do something about it. They could have voted NO on the Patriot ACT I & II, they could have kept Homeland Security limited in power but voted to increase it many times, they could have impeached the President for several different reasons not the least of which is assuming the power to go to war (which all of Congress has continued to allow with a stupid arguement). My point was, either our elected representatives do not understand the Constitution and the powers granted there within, or the are flatly ignoring said powers. In either case all of them are bad for America.

I started out at a loss. Obama didn’t seem terribly strong in debates (still doesn’t, really), but he seemed like he was trying to fit the mold and be like everyone else. Well, that changed. I didn’t like Clinton from the beginning, but hadn’t ruled out voting for her by any means. Honestly, I liked Joe Biden. He seemed pragmatic, which is a good trait for these times. I also liked Edwards, since he’s got no problem telling it like it is to Big Business, something we also desperately need these days.

Honestly, I hope the two men get appropriate places in Obama’s cabinet. They’d be valuable assets.

I started out this election undecided, trying to pick between Clinton and Obama; many of the online “quizzes” and lists of candidates positions showed either as being a good match for my core beliefs. However, seeing this primary season run it’s course I’ve definitely moved to the Obama camp. I’m astounded by the tactics Hillary has used and am now a whole-hearted Obama supporter.

Michael - Clinton and McCain lie all the damn time. They apply numerous double standards, call out others for doing stuff they didn’t do…stuff that the ACCUSER is guilty of, flip-flop faster than a flacid penis in the wind… it’s unreal that some of this shit isn’t being talked about.

Why is the Weather Underground still an issue? Moreover, why hasn’t Hillary been grilled over President Clinton’s pardon of two members? It’s an association issue, just like Rezko, Wright and Ayers. Double standards.

McCain is just incompetent. He was incompetent in 2000 and he’s incompetent now.
