[clue-talk] Wow, Card's a little political...

[Nate Duehr]

Kinds nice to see someone debating on the jobs the President actually  
is responsible for...

Most of the crap both guys are promising aren't controlled by them.

They're things created and voted on by the Congress.

This election is really about either complete loss of the built in  
checks and balances in our government with one party controlling all  
three branches of government for four years and the Judicial by way of  
the Supreme Court for the natural lifespan of their appointee who will  
not be anywhere close to the political center...

Or voting to leave a single check and balance by way of veto power in  
the hands of a man proven to be a centrist and an unquestioned patriot.

The Congress has already HAD the power to enact "real change" via  
their majority for a while now and hasn't used it, because they know  
at least 30-40% or more of the country would cry foul on their behavior.

With a "party line" excuse to hide behind, we had better hope their  
constituants are paying REALLY close attention to the laws being snuck  
through on other bills if the veto power isn't there.

If they don't, some really bad legislation will not only be passed but  
by the time it is "tested" in our courts, the new Justice will uphold  
it.

A very pecarious time, and a lot more important than just voting for  
the "popular" candidate.

This article at least focuses on one of the REAL Constitutional "jobs"  
of the Office of President of the United States and not the populist  
stuff in the 30 minute "He even makes his own gravy!" infomercial seen  
on TV last night from the soon to be in full control party.
