No. I think we need a party for the middle class.  The parties stay in power because the things that are important to the middle class are supported some by one party and some by another.  Our vote depends on which of those elements is most important to us on election day.  We need a party that is for the middle class, at least solidly, on most issues.  That means populist, not globalist.

Of course they do.  The reason why the elected gov't is opposed is because the people with  money aren't making out like they used to.  The gov't is now working for its people and not its business.  That's why the United States is so willing to support the coup leaders, because it is their business interests that are at stake.  God forbid the people get taken care of first.\n\nThe reason why the opposition aren't able to elect anyone or get their referendum passed  is because an overwhelming majority of the people living in Venezuela support their gov't.

I am glad that you said U.S. government because a majority of the people do not endorse what we are doing over there. We have stired a hornets nest with a stick. I only hope that nobody else gets stung. Even though I know that it is endless.

The current administration has no interest in what the average American thinks, wants or needs.  That was apparent from the beginning.  But there were plenty of Americans who supported them (Bush and his cronies) then.... and even now.\n\nIn January the democrats will finally be able to have their voices heard.  Do I think the Democrats have all of the answers?    NO.....but at least they represent, in part a large portion of the American public that was opposed to this war in Iraq and was not brain washed by Bushes propaganda.

The only constant is change.  Change is bound to happen.  the changes we have going on right now aren't so good.  Sound legislation needs to be written.  It needs to be written based on the peoples needs.  The majority of the US is against illegal immigration.  Our politicians must respect that.

I have been saying this to anyone that will listen!!!  People look back at the Vietnam war as a failure of the US.  The US went in there and tried to implement the form of government they saw best.  And now we are trying to transform the government of Iraq?  See the comparison, this war will be viewed as another US failure.  How many more wars will the world tolerate that Americans step in and try to force their ideas.  These wars also hurt our economy.  Are these failed wars the beginning of the end for the US as the leading "empire" of the world.

No before long the american people already tired of illegals and the handouts they get when others can not, the jobs that they take from legals will get fed up and vote in people that are a lot harsher in views than those of the current administration and if the leaders then do not want to do anything then the people will take it state by state to end the freebies. The only sane solution to the problem is to invade Mexico make it the 51st state then there are no illegals

Probably not. The Iraquis can't seem to make up their minds on how to work together.

Mexico has been and still is a very poor nation with a minority holding most of the wealth and many living in poverty.....wholla...that is why we have so many of their citizens trying to get into the US. \nI seriously doubt that they have the troops or money to send help to Iraq or would their wealthy want  to use the money to support such and action.

at some point when all the jobs are gone, yes, currently no, as the powerful have all the resourses, and too many people beleive their b.s. so they follow blindly. Currently however people haven't wised up enough to unite and become a force to be reckoned with

Well for one the government. they don't want to do anything about the immigration problem we have in the states.. They think when they some to America it is the home of the free...

it sure isn't doing what the PEOPLE want.  Instead they do what the minority wants and don't care about the rest.  It's going after the bill of rights to the point we should call them the bill of privledges.  The economy isn't doing good and we are pouring money into a 'war' that is not going good.

They should if they were to enforce the laws, but the politicians are refusing to enforce the laws and instead cater to big business who want the cheap labor. The government is sending a message to the American citizens how they really feel about our wishes. This country will become a 3rd world country if it isn't already.

Illegal immigration.  The vast majority of Americans want it to stop but the politicians aren't doing anything to stop it.

I am an American, and I as you do not believe that we should be pushing something on countries that do not want it. I think if a majority of the citizens want help then we should help, but if a majority don't then we should back off.

No.\n\nRepubs are on the way out because people have finally figured out that they have nothing to offer the vast majority of Americans.

It's the 'hot button' issue of the day.  The media dictates what is talked about, and that is influenced by the government.  Right now, Bush needs something to take peoples' attention away from Iraq, Iran, and the rising cost of gas.  Enter the immigration issue.
