The majority of democrats, as is the Democratic Party, are cowardly people .. which is why the right runs over them so easily.

Sadly True when speaking of politicians.

 

[LadyT]

Wish I could argue. But even when they get someone with cajunas they politically castrate them.

Of course the repubs are no better. Just go with the party position.

The repugs are way worse. Either way we're still in Iraq and personally that's my biggest concern at this point.

 

[LadyT]

Speaking of which, I wonder if Russ Feingold would consider running.

 

[uscitizen]

Even Ron Paul is with the Repubs 3/4 of the time.

He might be he couldn't win. Just as Huckabee is to far right of center of the swinging pendulum, Feingold is too far left. So unless you just want someone to run on the principle of things, he shouldn't waste the time or money.

I disagree whole heartedly. He's been one of the few dems to stand up to this administration and takes ending the war seriously. That would go a long way with independents in this election

Of all members of the House of Representatives Ron Paul voted with his party the 3rd least of any member of Congress.

 

[uscitizen]

But he did not vote if his vote against his party would have tipped the scales in the dems favor.

Is that right? You have any examples of that?

 

[uscitizen]

It is right in some cases of his voting record I studied a bit a few months ago.

Paul appears to be a Republican fist and a Libertarian second.

Well he is registered as a Republican so I guess I don't find it a big surprise. And I saw his voting record when it was posted on here as well and I didn't see any votes in the House decided by one vote where he choose not to vote.

 

[uscitizen]

Are the simple majority rules on applied on all voting in the congress?

that's my understanding unless you are trying to override a veto. Do you understand it some other way?

NO, not just politicians, but also democratic voters .. cowards .. which is why the Democratic Party runs all over them.
