Reply #47: Are they the whole of politics, are they the Alpha and Omega of issues? [View All]

Indeed, I consider Congressional races this year to be far more important than the Presidential race. More partisan, more left wing representatives can enter Congress this year, increasing the Democratic Majority, but also putting pressure on whoever ends up as President to do the RIGHT thing instead of whatever is expedient.

Putting all your hopes in a Democratic President is simply foolish, but, with a larger majority in Congress, it would be enough for the President to not veto H.R. 676, or, indeed, not veto any liberal bill that passes Congress, if at all possible.

And, by the way, both candidates do suck on the issues, whether its about Health Care, the Military, the Iraq War, etc. I find little agreement between myself and them, why is it wrong to recognize those differences?
