Have you ever actually read the Federalist Papers Chou?

No, the Founding Fathers didn't want an imperial presidency. That is why they built the government with three branches, each with checks and balances over the other. And those checks and balances have been in place from day one. Nothing eliminated those checks and balances.

However, the founding fathers never intended for that system to cause government to stagnate and be unable to operate or make decisions. And they especially never intended for Congress to have the power to stop the President from conducting a war, once war has been declared.

But the Dems seem to think that the 2-party system is the check-and-balance. They seem to think that Congress should be MORE POWERFUL than the President. And they feel that ONLY THEY should have that power, because only they are smart enough to use it.

Well, now they have it. Let's see what they do with it. I'm not expecting much...

As for your list of "mistakes"...

"Endless Iraq War" --- it is only endless because the liberal sillyvillians and desk-warriors are demanding a politically correct war, with no casualties (on either side), POWs treated like honored guests rather than prisoners, and a quick end to hostilities. If not for the PC bull$h!t the war would have already been over. Well, welcome to reality... in war the other side doesn't give up after 57 minutes to let the credits roll like on TV. Wars take time to win, and they take effort, and they take lives, and they may take YEARS or even DECADES to resolve. By electing the Dems to Congress, the American people have proven that they don't have the nuts to stay in the fight for the long haul... and your precious Dems led the way.

"Failing occupation of Afghanistan" - See my comments on Iraq.

"Katrina Debit card giveaway" - you mean as opposed to the federal money the Dems have been giving away to New Orleans in the form of welfare for the past 70 years? And every other state, for that matter? Since 1965, the federal government, led by the Dems, have spent over $8.29 trillion (with a "T"). It was over $434 billion in 2000 alone.... mostly on programs that don't work and keep people poor. (Source: The Heritage Foundation.) The amount spent by the government on Katrina is merely a drop in the bucket by comparison.

"Medicare Part D giveaway" - gee and I thought most people didn't think that Medicare Part D was giving away ENOUGH. So which is it?

"No immigration policy; America Swamped" - Yes. American became swamped long before Bush ever came to power. 11 million illegal immigrants didn't come to the United States in 6 years. Illegal immigration has been an issue for decades... and the open border policies that caused the problem were created by DEMOCRATS. Not to mention that the people who most want to eliminate illegal immigration through border enforcement and prosecution/expultion are the REPUBLICANS. The Dems are against that.

"Massive increase in debt" - remember the $8.29 trillion in welfare spending I mentioned above? It matches the national debt pretty closely, doesn't it. Think that's a coincidence?

"Iraq War costing $7-8 BILLION A MO. AND ENDLESS ENDLESS ENDLESS" - So what you are saying is that you want to protect the security of the USA, as long as it doesn't take too long or cost too much. Well I hate to tell you this, but the Cold War took over 50 years, and cost much more money than the $8 trillion of national debt.

"Cronyism-incompetents in high positions" - You mean like Jim McGreevy and Golan Cipel? Oh, wait... he's a Democrat.

"Corruption and scandal" - you mean like Harry Reid and Alan Hevesi? Oh, wait... they're Democrats too.
