Recently Senator Russ Fiengold from Wisconsin (I live in downtown Madison), introduced a resolution to censure President Bush.\n"The one thing they (White House) figured out how to do is intimidating too many Democrats into not speaking their mind ... I'm trying to convince my colleagues to get out there and take them on directly, " said Feingold. \nWill Fiengold get the support he needs for this bold move, or will he soon be eating his words come election time?

it will be shown decades from now that he stole the election through vote manipulation.\n\nhe's doing an awful job. he's alienating everyone, even his allies. he entered office with the greatest surplus ever and has turned it into the largest deficit ever. there's a reason this man bankrupted every company he ever tried to run. if he wasn't his daddy's son he never ever would have been hired to manage so much as a hot dog stand.\n\n~~~\n\n"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." (H. L. Mencken)

It was already too late to salvage votes that would have made the difference, on the other hand, he (GWB) may have salvaged the senate with just a few more votes in Virginia.\n\nGWB explained that he didn't announce  the change until after the election, because he didn't want the troops to think his decision to do so, was political!\n\nRumsfeld had certainly become a lightning rod for the administration, and the delay in doing something about it, festered in the minds of many voters.

What bush did in indonesia was give the people a chance to express how they feel about things. Bet you a big bill he was warned not to go, but, he is the decider!\n\nAfraid there are not enough excuses from the repubs to cover up why bush is an habitual screw up, and pay no attention to bush's repub choir boys trying to get you to stop speaking the truth. Quiet the contrair, keep up the good work . . . back you all the way. \n\nAnd in response to Josh M's post, bush doesn't need any help in looking bad, he does a bang up job on his own.   \n\nIt is not that the man is a bad person, he is just overwhelmed with stupidity. Out of his own mouth, he is the decider. Now wtf is that supposed to mean?\n\nHappy Thanksgiving, . . .and good question!\n\nDarryl S.

From NBC's Lisa Daniels\nPennsylvania's Republican Party says it has filed an official complaint with the state government, alleging failures in voting machines. One aide to Republican Sen. Rick Santorum just told me they believe "hundreds" of votes are affected by these machine malfunctions.\n\nThe complaint claims that votes for Santorum were not counted - that they were either met with a "malfunction" signal or incorrectly cast as votes for Democratic challenger Bob Casey. Santorum's aides say they are waiting for an official response from the state.\n\nThe response from Casey's campaign? The Democrats say there is no evidence of voting problems, aside from one or two isolated incidents unrelated to Santorum's claims. One said privately that the complaints were "an early attempt to explain away a Casey victory."\n\nMeanwhile, the Santorum camp contends that the most commonly cited polls, showing Casey with a double-digit lead over Santorum, are inaccurate. "Get ready for his grassroots campaign to kick in ... and we will win," one campaign official said. \n\nCasey's folks say they are very happy with the voter turnout, especially in the Philly suburbs. Stay tuned...

Bush never worked with his own party so I don't think his brain is going to adjust. He will maintain his "stay the course" attitude and veto everything the Dem's try. I think he should be impeached but the next to go will be Denis Hastert when the page porn investigation is completed.

I believe those that are in office now, especially Republicans, are going to distance themselves from him, but that will be hard to do! None of my Senators were up this year, but they will be in 08!\n\nI think if they are seen as obstructive they are going to have a real problem in 08!\n\nWe threw out 2 Republican Congressman who were incumbent and had several terms in! They were in total shock! They could not believe it!!\n\nPeople still harp on Clinton's BJ and who really cares! But they try and justify a war that is not justifiable and has killed 1/4 of a million people! You can be for the war all you want, but when you have body bags coming home 365 days a year for over 3 1/2 years, and are in a war that is longer than WW II and it is getting worse, not better, people are not going to forget that!\n\nI don't think they are going to be able to hide from their votes and their support of many things that were unpopular, even among Republicans.\n\nBush isn't a scape-goat, he's the goat that they allowed too much power, too much corruption and they were rubber stamps for his policies!\n\nI loved one of our Republicans here bragging about the war on terror, which there is no such thing, and about"No child Left Behind that Bush wanted and Congress passed! The only problem was, and he didn't mention it,  they never funded it!!\n\nI'd like to see people put the country and it's people first, not their wallets!\n\nCosmic, you said the magic word: Bush! It will get you a thumbs down everytime! You are asking people to think, not be an idealog! Unfortunately they are idealogs who still don't get it!

Why would he be filling out a democratic ballot? Is there an election in the next month or so? Actually I believe he's from Jordan, not New York. Hillary isn't from New York either, she's a carpetbagger. Sorry if this liberal hurt your argument with facts.\n\n Feel free to keep insulting both of these people, however. I never cared for either one. I prefer the facts, though.

Have you noticed how almost every ad slams the other guy as opposed to the candidate telling us what he plans to accomplish once he gets in office? I have a notion not to vote at all. What's the use?

I hear you loud and clear. I don't think you should be so quick to pass a pessimistic judgment just yet. The democrats did win, but with fiscally and socially conservative democrats. I think Shumer and all of the other usual suspects will find a lot of in fighting and power struggles with these newly elected conservative democrats. As for Conyers, he will make an obviously politically charged, yet unsuccessful attempt to impeach Bush. All this man wants is revenge for Clinton's impeachment. He is forgetting one major component, Clinton unlike Bush, actually violated the law and told fantastic lies that no one in their right mind could believe.

Chicago should get a good turn out of dead people, but a little light on the pets. We are expecting a larger showing of pet voting Democrats in the larger Pennsylvania area. Because of the large number of pets voting in Pennsylvania if Santorum happens to win then we will know that the Republicans cheated and we will commence with legal challenges there. Darned Republicans! Always trying to steal elections.

I haven't heard that yet, but here's my thought on it.  Yes it's a flip flop to an extent.  But I'd guess that now that Democrats have won the house they would want to get Rumsfled as far away from any hearings that may be called.  Then of course blame the entire sinking ship on him.

I know it's sad but the answer is yes. The articles of impeachment have already been filed in a Federal Court. Bush himself said to the Iraqi people.. Bush speaking after elections "does this election mean we are going to leave Iraq, no it does not". Look at the 18-29 vote numbers. They turned the tide in many races all over America. A full 2 million more young people voted this election than did in 2002. According to CNN exit polls 60 percent of voters younger than 30 cast ballots for Democrats. These people are not stupid. Look at the number one issue on voters minds. It was Iraq. Robert Gates will not go against Bush. Also consider this, In both Iraq and Afghanistan the USA has built permanent bases. They were built to protect the flow of oil. The only option is Bush's removal from office. It's sad I know. The neocons would not make the mistake of a "unprecedented period of cooperation" it's not the way they ran the Congress for the past 6 years. They gave legislation to the Democrats at the last minute before a vote was called. They never once gave a inch on any issue. Even forced "filler busters" in the Senate and threatened the nuke option. I think Democrats want leaders who lead. Leading is not about taking a vote with the opposed party on a decision. Bush's words "we earned capital in this election and we intend to spend it". He was speaking of the 2004 election which he Defeated John Kerry. Democrats would be unwise not to spend the capital they earned in 2006. Democrats can not spend that capital on there agenda if they can't get past Bush's veto power. Democrats also can not spend that capital if they can not stop the filler buster in the Senate. Leogirl, BTW, have you read the articles of impeachment, there is ample evidence there, read them. They have been filed in Federal Court. BTW, William E, where were you when Clinton was impeached? Read up on that one.

I think he's viable for that reason alone... people are not responding well to the partisan views of the current Republican leadership... I think if you go with someone like a Frist, it's a sinking boat, as things stand now...

Not in Bay county, but yea...I see 'em. People take the statements for fact instead of researching....his voting record is bad??...True, but only the last year, while he.......and every republican on the ticket......has been campaigning!!!!!\nOnly 3 bills passed??? True, but he only put 5 out there, and voted WITH the republicans to pass their bills that made sense....republicans don't mention that, do they!!???
