Does America REALLY Want an All Left Government?
Pat Buchanan makes an interesting observation:
This center-right country is about to vastly strengthen a liberal Congress whose approval rating is 10 percent and implant in Washington a regime further to the left than any in U.S. history. Consider.
A Liberal / Left Congress Majority, has the lowest rating in HISTORY, and we want to strengthen that majority when thier approval rating already is this bad?!?!
As of today, Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the San Francisco Democrat, anticipates gains of 15-30 seats. Sen. Harry Reid, whose partisanship grates even on many in his own party, may see his caucus expand to a filibuster-proof majority where he can ignore Republican dissent.
Headed for the White House is the most left-wing member of the Senate, according to the National Journal. To the vice president’s mansion is headed Joe Biden, third-most liberal as ranked by the National Journal, ahead of No. 4, Vermont Socialist Bernie Sanders.
What happens when thier is no ability for dissent?
Has there been a time in American History when one party has controlled everything?
Sen. Harry Reid, whose partisanship grates even on many in his own party, may see his caucus expand to a filibuster-proof majority where he can ignore Republican dissent.
If dissent can be ignored, and objections can be overrun, where does that leave the state of the US Government, of the people, for the people, by the people?
The ability for dissent is needed in both parties, and for either side, a majority enough to over ride discussion and debate is a scary thought.
