Doesn't it say somewhere that we the people can over the government if it is becoming oppressive? Hmmmm....
I'm thinking.....

Well..... I commend our government.. Look around at other countries I mean you would be killed in some of the countries for even posting something like this. We have so many rights and take them for granted. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our troops for protecting me and my family.

Ha Ha Ha Ha the government is horrible. Yes, it does say that if the government is in anyway beind unconstitutional or posing a threat to the american people that we have the right to overpower it and appoint a better government. Look up and read entire Declaration, if you haven't done so, you will be very informed of what "we the people" really can do. If you know of a very large group to make it a better government, please let me know. I'll be the first there. I dont know about you, but with the way that the government has been, I would be more than happy to make it a dependent government. I will be more than happy having to vote every 20 minutes for the rest of my life, as long as it's fair to all.

it's the best system out there, but it's broken. we need term limits. the career poloticians need to go. I don't think the founding fathers envisioned senators sitting in office for 30-50 years. I say three terms for the house, 2 for the senate. We need to have people there that are there to serve the nation out of a sense of duty, not because it's a great way to get rich. Democrat or republican, a congressman abandons his principals that we vote him in for becuase he is beholden to special interest and corporate donors in order to be re-elected. We need people in there that don't give a damn about re-election, they have careers back home to go back to, and they are there to do what's right for the country. not their careers , their party and their campaign donors.

Our government is nowhere near being perfect but it is still better than all the rest. With a democrat congress, I suspect it will be even better for all Americans and the rest of the world.

I think the recent election shows that our government works. You can only go so far before losing power.
I would like to see more cooperation among the parties. I'm hoping that we WILL see that in the months to come.

the government is crumbling because it is now democratic. yes for america it can control the government should it become too oppressive, and the president can be impeached.

I think that this country is in trouble. We will just have to see what happens in these next months. You have to understand America isnt a total democracy.

It is actually better than most deserve. Could be better, but with so many brainwashed into entitlement mentality, I fear it will never change.

It is going down rapidly and will only get worse no matter which party is in control.
