Would the country be better off if Democrats won control of the U.S. House of Representatives in November?

Yes. Democrats better represent the needs of ordinary people.

Yes. Democrats couldn't be worse than Republicans have been.

No. Republicans haven't done as much good as they could have, but they're still better than Democrats.

No. Republicans hold the line against terrorism abroad and moral decline at home.

I'm going to borrow a short dialogue from My Cousin Vinny;

“I can't answer that question.”

“Are you saying that you don't know the answer?”

“Nobody can answer that question.”

“You see, she doesn’t know!”

“No, it’s because it’s a bullshit question!”

“Why is it a bullshit question?”

……….

I can’t answer it because you don’t friggin elect a party, unless you’re an ass and pull the party switch not choosing at all. The question should be, while difficult to answer: “Who should be in the US House to make things right?” This now doesn’t imply that things are wrong or right and doesn’t matter at all what party, sex or whatever. I should see persons on the ballot, not parties, which are like online spam or popup ads. I know that it doesn’t take a particular party to improve or ruin what is, but rather individuals. Take, for example Foley. Does Foley represent the Republican party? If you say yes, then there you go. I think most people would cite him as an individual, as are they all. If I take this approach, then parties need to be disbanded, because you recognize persons as individuals. Otherwise, you could assume that all Republicans are like Bush and Foley, and that all Democrats are like Kennedys and Clintons.

It’s a bullshit question.
