I watched the debate tonight between my local congressman, Dave Reichart and his opponent Darcy Burner. Congressman Reichart keeps saying something that I’ve also heard Senator McCain and Governor Romny say as well, and I wanted to point out why it’s a factual error. I have also received this in an e-mail that, every day, I wish that I would have torn up at the time.
That comment is that we currently have a democratic congress, so everything that’s going wrong is their fault.
What we have in congress is a fairly toothless majority. Yes, there are more democrats than republicans representing us right now – but we do not have enough to override a presidential veto. So anything good that they try to do gets vetoed by Mr. Bush, and that’s it. And as long as we continue to engage in petty partisan politics, we’re not going to have enough republicans with the guts to join them in overriding that veto.
Peace.
