President Jed Bartlett Endorses Divided Government

[nyraider91]

One party power is the only time we get things done. FDR enacted social security, LBJ civil rights. We just need to make sure that the one part in control is the dems.

Not.

[nyraider91]

Your message is off though. Bartlett was saying not to lie about your views as a politician. Stand by them, don't compromise them just to get elected.

I just came here to watch the west wing clip

All the power now is in the hands of the Corpracrat party. Obama is not change. This is a third Bush term. Nothing will change untill we "throw away our vote" en masse and elect a third party that reresents the people. Not the corporations and globalists that donate to the Republicrats.

Er..."erosion of liberties" under Johnson? Are you sure you didn't get that the wrong way around?

"Confiscated gold" doesn't exactly strike fear into my heart.

Things like the Bay of Pigs are things that could not have been stopped by an opposition congress.

Opposition is created by separation of powers, not partisanship. Partisanship is an expression, as Bartlett says, of real disagreements, and should not fade away. But a Republican minority of 40 or more senators WILL be heard.

If I could suggest....take off the West Wing stuff and just go with the history lesson...it is a full on winner. Well done. Great perspective.
