Who is blurring the balance of power between Congress and Presidency?
But don't try to blur the issue here. Just because the Republicans are examined on one issue, the balance of power, doesn't mean that any lame retort against the Democrats is fair game.
IF you could show how DEMOCRATS were blurring the lines of balance of power, THAT WOULD be relevant.
But that's not what Jefferson did. Quote: |

I'm not saying that party affiliation SHOULD NOT be brought up.
I'm saying that we should stick to the topic of BALANCE OF POWER.
Jefferson's reply on "democrats" had nothing to do with the BALANCE OF POWER issue, unless you can point to something Jefferson meant that I missed.
Jefferson is trying to change the subject from "Power struggle between Bush, Congress", to an issue of "Power struggle between Republicans, Democrats".
And I see that you are joining him in that ploy of changing the subject... "(Gay marriage) is a debate about whether you think gay people are part of the human condition or just a random fetish."
