I welcome you to crackerbox palace,
We've been expecting you.


Under our Constitution we have provisions for this IF that is what the
American people really want. 3/4's of the entirety of COngress must vote
agaisnt the veto to pass the bill...IF the American people really want
that bill passed, they will write their COngressmen/women and their
Senators and tell them to vote for the Bill...IF you don't see this
happening it means one thing: the American people don't really want the
bill passed. Of course, that could be for any number of reasons, ennui,
aparthy, and just plain ignorance being included there, but the fact
remains, IF they really want that bill to pass, there is a way.

I see apathy as being the winner here.

In a perfect world, that might be true. Sadly the party lines will be
followed pretty much in the vote to overturn the veto. Politics in
Washington control virtually everything that happens in chambers there.

No one is seriously listening to the far left wing. Moderate liberals, like
Pelosi, are getting a lot of press and credence, but the Michael Moores and
Jane Fondas of the country have faded into oblivion. They get very little
mention these days. I believe the Democrats would prefer to distance
themselves from such idiots, but they do commiserate with them when they
need the war chest refunded.

I know what you meant by that, but assuming for a moment that you were
reasonable enough to recommend they distance themselves from the far left,
the conservatives would be equally well-advised to distance themselves from
the idiots on the far right. Extremes are never productive, and in recent
years have cleaved the country into two hateful factions with no sign of
reconciliation.
