Why didn't Democratic congressmen challenge Bush when he stole the election?

because he did not "steal" the election, he won it fair and square, even the nytimes reported it...

No. Congress would have blocked any of his misconceived attempts at anything. Like Bush now, he would've been a lame duck, which is why he preferred resignation rather than greater shame to his already tainted image.\n\nIn so many words, even if he hadn't resigned, he wouldn't have been able to do anything, so winning Congress is better.

Bush has already tried to blame the Democrats for his failed Immigration reform, despite his party having control of both houses of congress.\nI think they will try to blame it on any Democrat that is handy: Governors, Mayors, Congress, and if all else fails: Clinton.

Democrats can do anything, just ask them.\n\nI wouldn't buy stock in their promises though!

they rigged the vote. And then, we almost caught them, and he almost still lost, but then they rigged the process by having the supreme court decide instead of the people.\nActually Bush Lost to Al Gore by a wide margin.\n# http://www.votescam.com/\n# http://www.carpenoctem.tv/cons/voting.html\n# http://www.jfkmontreal.com/bush_votescam.htm\n# http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/article.asp?ID=1060\n# http://www.gregpalast.com/detail.cfm?artid=182&row=2\n# http://www.votefraud.org/\n# http://www.garlicandgrass.org/issue8/Diane_Perlman.cfm\n# http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/KEE412A.html\n# http://revspork.blogs.com/revspork/2004/10/more_fun_with_e.html\n# http://www.oilempire.us/stolenelection2004.html\n# http://www.blackboxvoting.org/\n# http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/04votefraud.html\n# http://voteraction.org/

I'm happy. The Republican controlled Congress was a rubber stamp for Bush and that breaks the balance of power that there should be in a democracy. Now with a Democrat controlled House and Senate he is going to negotiate and not going to be able to do anything he wants.

He was appointed to the first term in a questionable election, and flat stole the second election. I think at least of the people of America, the democrats, are dumb for letting him get away with it and the other half for not carring how they got him elected, with the bottom line he is president are also dumb for supporting him. Oh yeah. Those are the ripuglicans.

Because he had the majority of the electoral votes. That is the way it has been done since the US Constitution was ratified. If you have evidence that it was fraudulent, talk to your congressman. That would be grounds for impeachment if it is true. But if it were true, he would have been impeached 5 years ago.\n\nIf you want to change the way the President is elected, you need to do it at the state level. States decide this, not the federal government.

No because l really think Bush will actually do a better job with the Democrats in control of Congress. While he had no checks and balances there was no reason for him to actually do any real legislating. Now he has no choice but to work with congress without having a blank check that is stamped by congress. He can either work with congress or be a lame duck.

They would have been threatened with assassination if they did that and Americans at the time were too stupid to back them the way the Mexicans are doing.  \n\nOf course, now, Post-Fascist Neoconservative 2006 America, the patriotic voters have ushered in a new day.  Anything is possible and Gore has truly figured out a way to get his message out.\n\nNow is the time to give the stolen election back to Al Gore.  The next time around, it should go to Kerry.

I don't know about Democrats, or for that matter Republicans. I can tell you as an Independent that you cannot be taken seriously and your accusations cannot be trusted. Calling the election a fraud before it even occurs makes any points you try to make biased and questionable, just like the boy who cried wolf. You are trying to advance an agenda and lack any viable proof to support your claims. I will remind you that in the last 3 election cycles that the only people convicted of election fraud were Democrats, not Republicans.

Iraq-didnt the Dems vote for it too and proudly, especially Kerry.  This is a stupid question.  Is there a law to prevent a lying, soldier-bashing person from running from pres?  no.   Why would Dems want to impeach Bush?  Do like Cheney that much-ha.

With a Democratic Congress, Bush won't be able to freely do what he wants. It's called a balance of power.\n\nBush hasn't technically been checked in the past with a Republican Congress! That will change. And because both parties share power....more may actually get done.

the Democratic party can ask bush all they want to bring home the troops . but its all up to him not them. if we brought them home today in less than a week there would be another attack on us soil . trust me ive been to iraq. those people are nuts

President Bush didn't even have an entrance plan let alone an exit. \nHis administration made no effort what ever to learn of what might happen when they toppled the IRAQ government.\n\nCan the Democrats do better in getting us out. It is such a difficult problem that the only guarantee we would have from anyone is that they could truly screw it up. Democrat or Republican.

The Democrats won't take back either the Senate or the House in the 2006 mid-term elections, and even if they did they would likely not try to impeach Bush despite his lengthy record of criminal acts.\n\nThe Democratic party is as complicit in the destruction of America as the Republicans.  It just happens that the Republicans have led the charge, and they've been successful because they've had a clear and aggressive strategy, whereas the Democrats are hapless idiots so terrified of offending anyone that they have abandoned all possibility of leadership.

They didn't. The Democratic party is the real big tent. The Republicans are the fakers.
