Have the democrats in congress failed America?

Question

1. They received a mandate from the American public to end this unjust war in Iraq. They have failed to do this.

2. They have failed to bring impeachment proceedings against a corrupt administration in the Whitehouse.

Answer 1

This is shaping up to be a landslide GOP victory in 2008

Answer 2

Leave it to a liberal to completely misconstrue the election results.

The GOP lost the '06 mid-term elections. The Dems did not win it. The GOP lost because they did not do enough to secure America. The GOP did not secure our borders, they did not secure our future (Social Security) and the GOP did not eliminate the terrorist threats in Afghanistan and Iraq. They had the White House and both Houses of Congress. They could have very easily done all of that. They didn't.

So, the American people wanted a bit of a change. They wanted a more moderate Congress, not too conservative and not too liberal. The Democrats, for thier part, realized this and pounced. They put forward many moderate candidates to run against more conservative Republicans. The moderate Democrats won. But, here is where the Democrats have messed up. The moderates were the ones to give the Dems thier victory, but the higher-ups of the Democrat party say that it is a mandate for liberal change. That would be wholly incorrect. It is a mandate for MODERATE change.

Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity warned the American voters to not be duped by the Democrats. The Democrats knew thier liberal agenda would not be very popular, so they put forward moderate candidates in order to gain seats and a congressional majority. They would then use that majority to force thier liberal agenda down our throats. Fortunately, the Democrats have not done so.....yet. This congress could have been a WHOLE lot worse, but a few of the moderates have spoken up and basically hamstrung the Dems. The moderates know that they were the ones who brought victory to the Dems in '06, not the liberal wing. And the moderates demand to be listened to.

Answer 3

1. Perhaps once becoming aware of the true nature of the war--the southern democrats elected at any rate--understood that to cut and run was not in the best interests of America.

2. The constitution requires high crimes (treason) or misdemenaors for impeachment. The president has not violated any laws--unfortunatley--the unread liberal idiots out there think impeachment is a process you can use if you just don't like a presidents policies.

Answer 4

1. All their efforts have been blocked.
2. Impeachment at this time would not be good for the country. Though they (the administration) should be made to answer for what they have done. That too would be blocked. Put the blame where it belongs. Clue-it isn't the Democrats.

Answer 5

The democrats in congress have no spine that's why. They said enough to get elected, you didn't actually expect them to do what they say? The democrats don't want the war in Iraq to end any more than anyone else with a brain does, they realize its a necessary evil. We have to be there, we have to finish the job. Iraq was just a convenient excuse to get elected. Like everything else - war on poverty, etc.

Why does your side never talk about that? We've been fighting this so called war on poverty for 30 plus years and those living in poverty has not changed despite billions in new entitlements.

Answer 6

The democrats got what they wanted! They got elected! What they didn't tell you was that they need a MAJORITY vote in the house and the senate to actually do anything! I'm sorry, but 51-49 is NOT a majority! Not when you need 60 votes to pass anything and not when the president has the power to veto any of your nonsense! So have the democrats failed? I wouldn't say so. They got people like YOU to vote for them!

FYI: The American people haven't issued a "mandate" to end the war in Iraq. The American people want VICTORY in Iraq. The problem is that liberal democrats have convinced many of you that retreat and failure are our only options.

Answer 7

seem at your chart a touch extra intently. you're a 12 months off on the inventory marketplace height (Oct, 2007). yet that's no longer the venture. There are 3 subject concerns. First, Bush is to blame for failing to follow the Republican's very own self-discipline discovered interior the Vietnam warfare, as spelled out interior the Powell doctrine. So he led us into Iraq, and now we are slowed down. we are bleeding our protection tension, actually and figuratively, and we are bleeding our treasury to maintain Iraqis from killing one yet another. definite, Democratic Congressmen and Senators voted to bypass to warfare in Iraq, yet Bush is the top of the administrative branch, and so resonsible for the defective intelligence that brought about that vote. 2nd, Bush as head of the administrative branch is to blame for imposing regulations on the banking marketplace. Alan Greenspan, head of the federal reserve created the extreme funds grant that kicked off the credit bubble, although that's Bush's activity to work out that banks do no longer abuse each and every of the straight forward funds. He grew to become into way too arms off in maximum situations to work out the venture. the comparable factor took place interior the 80's, whilst Reagan's arms off attitude brought about fiascos interior the junk bond marketplace, and a brilliant-based failure of S&Ls. Bush additionally did no longer workout his duty to regulate extreme hypothesis interior the commodities markets. This has exploded costs of all commodities, from oil to grain, kicking off a wave of world inflation. All of this grew to become into created in 2003-2006, so do no longer blame the Democratic Congress. The Congress does not workout regulatory powers besides. third, Bush did what each and every Reaganomics president has finished for the final 28 years: he decrease taxes yet exploded spending. As head of the administrative branch, he's to blame for the funds. The ever-increasing deficit has been a minimum of partly to blame for the drop interior the greenback, which has extra fueled inflation. Bush vetoed in basic terms one invoice that he pronounced spent too lots funds: the enlargement of the youngster healthcare application. each and everything else grew to become into merely positive. So there you have it. An countless warfare, a credit bubble, a commodities hypothesis bubble, and uncontrolled federal spending. to place blame for any of this at your step of a Congress that has been Democratically controlled for 20 months is the top of Karl Rove BS. i assume the greenback stops right here does not follow whilst there are political factors to be scored.

Answer 8

Uh...No...The Republicans are the reason we are in a no win situation in Iraq...Check your damn facts...Its the Republicans who wanted this war, for the OIL...Not the Democrats...

Answer 9

They need a majority to override the veto's that keep coming down you knucklehead. Numbers it's all in the numbers, give the dems more numbers and you will see a change for the better.
