The far left doesn't understand the poltical system. Why is that?

Question

"What can be done at a grass roots level to get the President of out office?" - If this person understood the political system they would know the President will be in office until the end of his term and that it is to late to try and get rid of him now, even if there was a reason for it.

Answer 1

that is very true
even if the president was to be impeached at this point it would take more than a year and a half for it to be finalized
especially with the summer break coming up for congress

sounds like a washington d.c. thing to do waste tax payer money

Answer 2

The far left understands the political system the same as the far right.

The president was legally elected (I didn't vote for him, but he is our president). If the president commits "high crimes or misdemeanors," he can be impeached; however, in my opinion, he has not done so.

Winston Churchill once said, "If the present condemns the past the future has no hope." Our political leaders need to stop worrying about what George W. Bush may or may not have done over the last six years, and start looking to the future. If the Democrats do not do so, the American public we start resenting them for not making change happen.

Answer 3

Yahoo Answers is full of ignorance of our political system. It comes from people asking questions and unfortunately a good many answers. When a nut case asks a question (from either the left or right) the nutty answers get the thumbs up, the thoughtful, correct, insightful, answers based in reality get thumbs down or ignored.

So this question is a classic. First, an earnest, if uninformed person asks a question that is moot. (Bush has just 20 months in office). So based on this one question, this asker paints the far left as having no understanding of our political system. That's a bit of a leap.

Answer 4

It's obvious you don't understand the poltical system either.

There is a great deal the grassroots could do to get Bush out of office. There could be a mass movement to threaten congresspersons with loss of their jobs in the next election unless they perform the oversight they were elected to perform last November. A fair hearing of all the evidence BushCo has worked so hard to cover up would reveal massive malfeasance on his part, or at least back him into a prosecutable lie as was done with Clinton.

This is all very possible, but unlikely, not becuase of a lack of time, but because of a lack of will on the part of the grassroots, and a lack of b@lls on the part of Congress.

Answer 5

It's a total disconnect from reality. It manifests itself in many ways. Not accepting the Constitution on issues such as the First and Second Amendments, not accepting the Constitutional limits of Judicial Authority, not reading the actual opinions in the Bush v. Gore cases, ignoring the facts that showed clearly that President Clinton was, in FACT guilty of Perjury, pretending that not being convicted on Impeachment means it never happened, ignoring the fact that everyone involved in Whitewater went to jail except Hillary, ignoring her illegal possession of FBI files, ignoring the real question in the cattle futures scandal which was "what was the quid pro quo?", overlooking Jimmy Carter's role in the rise of Islam by undercutting the Shah of Iran, overlooking Jimmy Carter's stupidity with the delay and undersizing of the rescue attempt, overlooking Jimmy Carter's cowardice in being unwilling to do anything about the attack on the sovereign soil of the United States, willingness to promote theories that Bush planned the 9/11 attack, willingness to simultaneously believe he's capable of orchestrating such an attack and believe that he's a moron, inability to see that Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are racists to the bone, disinterest in the fact that the tax cuts have spurred our economy, willingness to abandon Iraq while calling for our interference in Darfur,

anyway.

Bottom line is, they are totally out of touch with reality.

Answer 6

The far left does understand the political system, they just don't understand the American political system.

Answer 7

Um okay, the far right doesn'y understand the CONSTITUTION and thats a big part of the political system.

Answer 8

The Nazis were against the far left, but now a days Republicans support them.

Answer 9

True.

They still believe that the president was handed the presidency by the supreme court.

What a bunch of clods.

Answer 10

Because socialists do not believe in the American system of if you want to succeed you have to bust your butt. Socialists believe that everything should be handed to you so you don't have to work for it, lets us suckers pay for it.
