James R: M*W: His record shows that it influences virtually all of the important decisions.
Ugh! I'm an Australian, and even I know that executive power is vested in the President, not Congress. There is much that the President can do without asking Congress first. He also has veto over some actions of Congress.
It sounds like you should read up on how your own government works.
Kerry isn't a radical liberal, in fact. He's fairly moderate. That's one reason why he is running for President instead of somebody like Dean.
That depends very much on who you believe, doesn't it? I assume you haven't personally researched his war record.
Easily fixed! You should change control of Congress when you change the President.
*************
M*W: That's not the way it works. Members of Congress are voted in, too. We have a Republican Congress now, and with a Democratic president, that means four years of nada.
*************
James R: Have you ever heard of the United Nations? Does it matter to you at all?
*************
M*W: The United Nations does not govern us. We shouldn't have even gone to the UN. America is the most powerful country in the world. The UN has its own interest and objectives, and that does not mean the UN has the best interest of America or world on its plate.
*************
M*W: Kinda glad you won't be voting in this upcoming election.
