How is it that Bush has all of this power?
The Dems know that he IS stupid.
Why can't they outsmart him and get our people out of that place? They are the smartest people America has to offer.
Right?
I hope when they take the Congress, Senate, and White House they will get America back into shape again as only they can do.Why can't the Democrats stop the oil war?
Because they do not have a 2/3 majority which is what it takes to override a presidential veto. Why do you think so little has been done by this congress? Because their hands are tied by having only a slim majority.Why can't the Democrats stop the oil war?
Good, factual answer; however, I still believe the answer also rests in respecting our obligations to a vanquished people. Report Abuse
It isn't as simple as passing a bill and pulling out.
We needlessly invaded a country and caused untold suffering to a land that could little afford it. No WMD; no links to AQ or UBL; no links to 911. True, Saddam was a ';bad'; man. How many other ';bad'; men are leading countries? Should we invade Venezuela first, or Zimbabwe? How many should we invade? What about Saudi, or Somalia, or Pakistan?
We have done far more harm than good. To remain a truly great country and an internationally respected Super Power, Iraq's infrastructure must at least be to the same level as it was when we invaded. It must enjoy security. Also, it must enjoy democracy, or another form of government, according to the desires of its people.
Sadly, this isn't about Iraq; it is about us fulfilling obligations we acquired consequent to a needless invasion. Hopefully, future administrations, be they Republican or Democrat, will have learned.
Oil war, no. They can't stop anything even the welfare checks they give to low lives who vote for them. Take the White House so terrorists can attack us again? Get a life and a grip on reality or move to a socialist/communist country your ideals agree with. BIHB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Slick Willy was the one who caused the 9/11 attack by his lack of knowledge about national security.
All this happens in tune with the constitution. it can only be done during an election, this is later this year - just go out, vote right and taken another couple of thousand friends with you to do the same.
Its hard to make any changes when Bush just vetos everything they try to pass. Hes vetoed more since the dems took control than he ever did before.
You are so wrong on so many things except one.The Democrats have the power to defund the war right NOW!
No money means no war.The Democrats did it for Vietnam,why not now?Maybe because they understand the war from oppression of terrorist factions is an honorable one,and a war thats not an easy fix,after all the Democrats voted for it also(look up the Clinton archives in their library for qoutes by Bill on what he said about Iraq) This will be a very long battle,world wide.Not just Iraq.Second,our oil comes from Canada,and Mexico,then South America,then a little from the middle east.Its the Left and the environmentalists that have caused your gas to go up,they have halted oil refineries from being built here since the seventies,stopped new and capped wells from being drawn on(Most capped in the 70's) and they wont let us drill our own oil in the Gulf,But China(thru Cuba) and Venezula are drilling outside the int'l zone in the gulf and their standards for safety arent as strict as ours,you think its tough now,wait and see if a Democrat gets in and you'll really see the Nation go to Hell!
It's because they know if we do, then Iran takes Iraq. Iran and Venezuela are 'friendly' and if they then chose to, they could bully Saudi Arabia onto their side and we could be left a crippled nation with no oil....
We have people in office like Ted Kennedy who have been there for the last 30 yrs blocking new oil drilling and refinery building but have NOT provided us with an alternative....instead all we get are political games from those people. It's time for term limits.
They need a 2/3 majority to override a veto. So, say a bill passes 51-48 in the Senate. Bush can veto it. They need 60 votes to override it. And there aren't 60 Democrats in the U.S. Senate (albeit, every single one currently there might not be supporting legislation to withdraw American troops from Iraq).
the dems and cons both make money off of oil, why would they stop?
The Congress is comprised of sheeple on both sides of the isle. The people of this country need to wake up and come out of their denial and vote most of those useless bums out.
Huh?
According to your own logic the Democrats are not smart enough to ';out smart'; Bush who is stupid.
So exactly, how stupid does that make the Democrats in Congress?
You are a true Democrat, because this rationing is ignorant.
The smartest people America has to offer are not stupid enough to go into politics.
To be honest the Democrats can't do anything but raise taxes,
and they have promised to do that if they get in office.
If you noticed they know how the voting process in Congress works, yet they promised the people if they would vote them in Congress they would do wonders and yet has done nothing benefiting the people.The reason Bush Veto's their bills is because they add all that pork spending to it, like Hillary Clinton wanted one million dollars for a Woodstock Museum in New York that had that Woodstock concert.
All the pork that is added to bill's is paid for by the taxpayers.
Just like when Bush wanted them to pass a bill for Military weapons and safety equipment, the Democrats wouldn't pass it without pork spending added to it.
They lied then and are lying now.
To see how much of our tax dollars are wasted, google ';Citizens Against Government Waste'; this will show you some of the stupid things our Congress wants to add onto bills, that we have to pay for.
Because they have also ';interest'; there....
#1 they don't have majority control
majority control is being able to get over a veto without having to depend on the other party
#2 the only way they can stop it, is to cut funds, and if they cut funds, Bush will leave our troops in Iraq, with dwindling gear blaming democrats for them not getting what they need, when what they need is a ride home! Meanwhile, people like you will be bashing them for not supporting our troops.
Because the only two things more limp than a wet noodle are the Democrats and the UN.
You are a mental midget. Go ahead and report me or whatever. Bush? Its President Bush for one, and he is definitly not stupid, in fact the complete opposite is true. He is a very smart and religious man. He is not comfortable speaking in public or on TV. Nothing wrong with that. SOme of the smartest people in history were known for all sorts of odd behavior. Public Speaking is a skill...bottom line.
You are obviously one of these drones that believes everthing he reads in the paper or see on TV. The Media for the most part are liberals and you are only getting one viewpoint. Educate yourself, there are media alternatives out there that tell it from a whole different perspective. The democratic party is not the party it used to be. It was hijacked by the socialists and liberals a long time ago. And democrats
are known to be emotionally driven. Never debate the issues, always some wacky agenda. You want your president to be Obama or Clinton? I hope not. Everything you didn't know about Obama will come out soon..Example his racist preacher! And Clinton? Ha Ha Ha She's got more skeletons in her closet then John Gotti and the Bloods Street Gang put together. Her and hubby Bill are rulers..not leaders my friend. They dont believe in the american people. They believe in government, and that government should make your descions for you. I would love to talk to you more..please email me anytime, I would be more than happy to have a conversation with you and listen to your issues. My candidate by the way doesn't exist in this election. So when I vote, I will have to vote for McCain. He is a good man, but he sold out a lonf time ago. Take care
lol 1 founders created the American government so that is is made to be slow and unresponsive. and two unrealistic and unobtainable goals promised to the people to get elected and they know that pulling out immediately would be the biggest mistake ever. and they are the smartest people America has to offer....? no. thats ridiculous to say
oh jesus I hope to god they don't get anything anytime soon.
Our economy depends on a steady supply of oil, sad but true, the dems' will do nothing to disrupt the supply, so, on goes the ';war on Terror!??';
The Democrats have a slim majority - not enough to override a veto. And then some gutless Democrats vote with the republicans anyway.
You want the war to stop - get more Democrats into Congress because the Republicans love that war and want more of them.
ok smoke a doobie take a couple shots and forget about it... the government just bullshit filling are minds with bull too..we got ppl dying for nuthin in iraq...
