Quoted Text
The fact that the president's party loses seats in Congress in 90% of midterm elections
suggests that not even the most brilliant service in the White House can change the outcome.
The United States Congress is the bicameral legislature of the federal government of the United States consisting of two houses: the Senate and the House of Representatives. |
| The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
John Kenneth Galbraith

When L4Life looks at the truth, and the truth doesn't match his agenda... HE JUST INVENTS A NEW TRUTH! Increase of Government Employees: ~ Reagan Dec. 1988 + 8.3% increase of government employees ~ Obama Dec. 2012 -2.8% increase of government employees Really L4Life, inventing FACTS just points out your desperation at Obama's success. http://www.forbes.com/sites/mikepatton/2013/01/24/the-growth-of-the-federal-government-1980-to-2012/ |

I can't believe that Box still gives validity to the 2 party system and elections....... |
| ...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
