NO. Since in a democracy, the president derives power from the consent of the governed. When he lied to obtain that consent, Bush has stolen power from the people and deceived the Americans

Sure. Ever is a very long time. Right after they get a Democrat President to go along with the Democrat Congress. Look at what happened during the time of LBJ and Carter. The only reason people kept Clinton for a second term was his charisma and the fact there was a Republican Congress. The only reason they kept Bush for a second term was all the things that happened during his first term. Something about changing horses in the middle or the stream.
Face it. Any time we have had the same party controlling the White House and Congress it has not been a good time for the country. A counter-balance is almost always a good thing. Dems in one place. Reps in the other. Too bad we don't have a good third party to split the power even more.

Absolutely. Now maybe not in 2008, but absolutely in the future. Once the republican party realizes that its radical right-wing base are the one's screwing up the party, then yes, they will turn moderate again and the people will always like moderate republicans vs. left-wing commies of the democratic party.
I think as Americans we just have to be more weary of who we are putting into office. We don't need fundamentalist on either side, we need moderates who will look at all sides of an argument, not just the side they want, and make a decision based on all the facts. However, I know this may a bit idealistic in today's polarized world, where working together with someone is seen as working with the enemy, but I hope upon hope that someday in the future we can get to that kind of situation. Thanks and have a nice day.

Sure there will after the next election .Don't you like the rest of the so called educated citizens in this country get it ? Democrats and Republicans just take turns robbing our citizens and selling the country out .Laughing all the way to the bank at how stupid people are .Letting one party rob us then getting mad and electing the other party to rob us . If I didn't actually want to see the people and country do better .I'd quit being a libertarian and join one of those parties and get rich too. But I think I have a responsibility to my grandchildren to try and leave them a life of freedom and liberty,like my grandparents left me . Which I feel is more valuable than greed for money for myself .Apparently not many other citizens feel that way about the quality of life they leave our children .

The Clinton's did precisely what they promised re wellbeing care. The president would not gas via decree. The senate voted the degree down after an prolonged incorrect information marketing campaign funded via the coverage industry. what's the republican counter notion? Oh, wait. I forgot. they don't have one. They curiously have not have been given any issue with 50 million individuals having no scientific coverage simply by fact they chosen a luxury like nutrition over scientific coverage of their month-to-month funds.

Yes. They will. Perhaps not in the upcoming election, but they will.
Same question was asked after many Presidents: Will Americans ever trust a [fill in political party here] in the White House again?
And they always do.

I'd be willing to vote for a Republican President - only because I don't think it's good for one party to totally control the gov't. HOWEVER, I will NOT vote Republican unless they weed out the radicals in their party. I'd rather take my chances with Hillary than with the bunch of religious nutjobs, neocons and warlovers who have infiltrated the Republican party today.

Yes, so long as they think logically about who is the best for the job -- could be anyone, Republican, Democrat, or otherwise -- and DON'T judge everyone in a certain group by the actions of an individual.

Interesting how quickly we 'forget.' The same type of rhetoric was used as Nixon resigned. All it took was four years of Carter, and the US went Republican for the next 12 years.

I believe so. The parties have a way of evolving. Soon, hopefully, this Republican party will do the same....although the Rapture Right doesn't believe in evolution...

Of course. People forgot about Jimmy Carter and voted for Bill Clinton.
