    As usual you asked for it, and you failed to read what was actually written. Here is the statement once again that you failed to read because you are indeed a partisan hack on this subject. In bold to make it easier for your ability to actually read something.

    As for which party is better to fix our government - neither of the current major parties have a chance to fix the government since both of them pander to special interests


    I'll ask it again. What reason is there to believe that the Dems are less likely than the Reps to overturn Rep legislation in the next four years?
    Like alreadly stated on this topic - because you are demostrating an inablity to actually read what is written I will bold it for you again. the Democratics had the opporunity to overturn a piece of legislation and they did not, in fact I believe they approved measures to make it even easier.

    Both parties have demonstrated that they are unlikely to do what is in the best interest of the nation. So once again the democratic party has demonstrated by their own actions that they are just as unlikely to overturn legislation once its been inacted.


    Yup, they haven't done it yet. Yup, more of them than I would have liked signed off on it. (I half-way forgive most of them the first time around because it was shoved through like the bailout NOW NOW NOW NOW we need this NOW for national security, before it was established this would be the M.O. for everything bad Bush's admin wanted to pass.) But I still believe them far more likely to curtail or overturn it in the next four years than the Reps.
    They might, however they have demonstrated on this issue that they won't as of right now. So saying that they are more likely when they have demonstrated that they won't is an extremely weak arguement. What's even funnier is that this was stated the first time and you failed to actually read.


    And if you have no compelling argument to the contrary, then calling me a partisan is just an empty ad hominem.

    Actaully it is not since you failed to actually read what I stated. I clearly stated that neither party is likely to do the right thing at this time. Your comments are extremely one sided - which makes you a partisan hack. If you think that is a personal jabe then fine but dont ask the question if you dont want to hear the answer, and then claim it wasn't answered. I find that extremely funny given your attempt here.
