Now putting aside your own personal feelings regarding any past, present, or potential future US government what are your opinions or feelings towards most governments outside the US where there seems no established election time frame. What I mean is using Italy as an example it seems they and most of the rest of the world can just call elections anytime they disagree with a government which as a result nothing ever gets done because their always changing goverments. Now I know some would like to be able to do that here, I sure would have like to during Bush 1 or either of Das Furher Clinton’s terms or during Das Furher Gray Davis terms as governor of California but to me it seems cheating? Again putting aside personal feelings is there really any benefit to changing governments all the time? Elections scheduled or special cost money and no one is ever going to make everyone happy all the time and being able to just “rewrite the story” as you go nothing gets done.

I somewhat understand what you are trying to say but not completely… I do like our government and it is stronger because we have long term representatives, the election frame isn’t as bad as it could be and because a president can run for no longer than two terms that keeps us changing at a descent pace. If we were to switch office that often we would get nothing done so what we have now is fairly good yes it could be better but it’s stable and thats what we need right now while we are at war.
If we were to switch government as often as Italy, we would have lost a large number of wars over little things and we may not have our union. So what we have now should stay the way it is for at least a few more years until we are finished in Iraq.
I hope I answered some of your questions.
too many questions to answer, but you have a good point
