President and Congress Are Out of Touch With American Public: They Aren't Listening and Don't Care

I am of the opinion that this Administration and Congress are the worst that I have ever seen.

Some of us were waiting for President Bush to become the leader we had hoped he would be, but it hasn't happened, and it's too late now.

The Democrats aren't going to listen to him; they'd rather investigate him. And President Bush is facing a revolt in his own party in Congress. When he has to join forces with the most liberal Democrats in Congress to pass immigration amnesty over the objections of his own party, it's clear that this Administration is crippled beyond repair.

And Congress is worse than that. Both parties are fractured, and there's little consensus on Iraq, immigration, stem cell research, Gonzales, the wiretapping thing, the fired federal prosecutors, and concern about protecting the Constitution AS IT IS. They're busy attempting to shred parts of the Constitution that are inconvenient to them.

In fact, both the President and Congress have taken steps to invade and supplant one another's Constitutional authority. Witness the President's military tribunals, and Congress's foray into foreign policy with Nancy Pelosi attempting to establish a shadow foreign policy, and insulting Israel in the process (and making a fool out of herself.) We won't even go into executive privilege vs. Congressional subpoena powers here.

I think the entire slate of people in Congress need to be overturned by the voters and new people elected in at the earliest possible opportunity. This Congress is blowing it big time.

Also, I am opposed to every candidate vying for the Presidency that the Democrats and Republicans have in the field. I think both parties can do better than who they've got in the race at present.

There are also too many people running at this point on both the Democratic and Republican sides. They're all attempting to say the same things differently and it's getting real old real fast.
