Ralph Wiggum. YES WE CAN'T!!!11!!1!one
Exactly.. If Al Gore wasn't such a good man, he probably would have been a great Prez. Most men would have continued to fight it. Just look at the republican candidate for gov. in Minnesota. I mean that's for fucking governor! :eek: That long!! Yes, Al really should have been our president and we would actually being doing well or atleast better than we are now.

Honestly, I can't think of anyone on the planet who I want to wield the kind of power that the Office of the President has acquired over the last 80 years, which isn't so much an indictment on politicians or humanity in general, but on our own foolish surrendering of power to an office that was Constitutionally defined in a limited fashion simply because no single man or woman should have as much authority as the President now has. Give it back to Congress. Give it back to the states. And stop expecting one man to be the savior of an entire nation. It can't be done, and it shouldn't be done.
because its set up. the 2 parties actually control by sitting on the board of elections as to whom is allowed in the debates. and if you aint one of them, guess what? you are out. ross perot scared them to death with his rise in the polls in the 90s and they made sure after that to control it all. study it and you will see im right and how it really works.
why do you think they ignored ron paul and even banned him from a fox news debate even though he was polling higher than more than a few that was allowed to be there?
I agree almost completely, though I do think the expansion of Presidential power began with Andrew Jackson, who, oddly enough, believed in more power to the states, and who also refused to enforce a Supreme Court ruling. The expansion began then, and has just continued to snowball in the last 80 years. I'm also iffy on the power that Congress now has.
The whole federal government, in my opinion, is too big and has too much power. More and more it seems that we look too much to the President and Congress to solve all of our problems, when, in all likelihood, we could solve most of our own problems. As you said, give more power back to the states.
The power of the federal government now reminds me of what Gerald Ford said: "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have."
