The answer isn't to put anti-American, anti-soldier democrats in office....it is to put more conservative republicans in office.

That's ideally how it should be. But when said anti-American anti-soldier quasi-socialist Democrats are being opposed by "Democrats Lite," it doesn't really inspire a lot of enthusiasm.

I really think a case can be made that we may be better off with a split government, because then at least the President may utilize the veto pen. He seems to be afraid to do it as long as Republicans are in charge of Congress.

Plus, the weakened GOP would have to go back to its roots if it lost power, because it would have to give people a reason to give them power back.

That sounds quite reasonable and typically it would be somewhat reasonable....however not now! Not during a war! and certainly not with what IS the ilk of the current democrat party. A party (sponsored by a MSM) that is completely anti-military, anti-American and anti-success in the WOT.

Again, our soldiers alone deserve better then to have their citizens back State side stick a knife in their backs by putting these type people in a majority of Congress....simply because of personal narrow politics about being upset with the GOP.

It is foolishness to suggest such action.

Best regards,

The only problem with that is that the dems can do a hell of lot of damage in the time it takes for that to happen. The military, the courts, our intelligence apparatus, the whole WOT. The question is how much sh*t is everybody willing to eat in those areas to right the ship?
