The American people are at odds with their government and both national parties. How will the will of the people be expressed in the coming months?

Answer 1

Democrats blame Republicans for this as part of their strategy for returning to majority status in Congress. Just as, Republicans blame Democrats for being "obstructionists" and not letting all that good legislation hatched by the GOP get through. It isn't actually our system of government that is broken. The system has worked quite well until recently. Rather, it is the way Republicans, now, and Democrats when they last had the majority, have made a mess of it. The system is crumbling under the weight of too many expectations.

Answer 2

And those are probably high estimates.

You asked a very good question.

The best course of action I think the American People should take is to try and expose "Scalar Electromagnetics" as much as we can. Build some working models like Richard Beardon has done. This is clearly the answer and solution to fossil fuels, however these idiots in charge want to keep the technology suppressed and use it for weapons. So what else is new?

Answer 3

i think of it truly is all yet obvious that the Republicans have chosen to weaken the middle classification as a extreme priced nuisance.left our borders huge open and decreased the taxes on their good individuals whilst raping the treasury in basic terms to line their very own wallet-like rats leaving a sinking deliver.The branch is a mile huge and for good reason. This insult shouldn't bypass unpunished! that's barely the wealthy and the fools who're employed via them that many times insist that all and sundry socialism is inherently evil. that's in all equity the only purpose of a democracy wherein all do no longer proportion and paintings the two-such as the fortunate, lots of who've inherited their place- yet proportion a burden for the undemanding good, vote as equals and separate themselves from the regulation of the jungle without nurturing the lazy (because it would be common to argue lots of the fortunate have become).

Answer 4

It had better be expressed through impeachment proceedings against the President. I might be wrong but I think all the dissatisfaction stems from problems with Bush.
The Republican Congress backed him. And now the Democratic Congress seems to be refusing to do anything with him. While all this is going on, Bush keeps making the situation for our country worse and worse. And it is VERY easy to argue that the reason he has been able to accomplish this is because he has committed MANY impeachable offenses.
Edit: Oh yeah I forgot to mention that includes getting rid of Cheney.

Answer 5

lets all start looking for some good 3rd parties to support....
or end the party system and just vote for the better candidate

I like my second idea best

Answer 6

I would think that you will see more attention to 3rd party candidates and alot more people voting issues instead of parties. which is how it should be anyway.
To hell with what party they are in, their actions is what matters, what do they vote on... not just what they say they believe but what do they actually do.

Whatever your ideology look past what they say and vote for people who support what you believe in.

Answer 7

I don't think we've lost faith in small-r republican government. But if we have, one solution would be to start following the Constitution again.

75ish years of rampant commie liberalism have done great damage to our form of government. Activist judges. Huge government. Nanny state. "Living Constitution." Victimology. Liberalism.

The Democrat-led Congress is at 14%, by the way.

Answer 8

Drop back to 20 and punt? (Oh, you do understand USA Football, don't you?)

I wish we had a system where we could have an election whenever the people lose faith with the government. Maybe that would make our "employees" work harder to please us!!!

Answer 9

You tell us, Professor.

ADDED: You wanted this mess. You got it. Fix it. Use your "public education" and fix it. And nice try, Count, but impeachment changes not a thing. Not one thing. He's just your current scapegoat. There will be more.

Answer 10

Well, we can all accept CNN as the gospel truth. Yeah, right!
