At the end of his term George Bush will find Osama and they will walk off into the sunset and live happily ever after as far as the repuglican party goes many of them will be doing time in a country club like prison for all the corruption that will come out when big Jack has his say. He is going to blow the whistle on so many that even the good repuglicans will look bad.

Pretty pissed that our party hasn't been very conservative... Fiscally conservative - the war spending I understand, but pork spending? Oh no! \nTanked the immigration issue. Bush came in with a fair bit of the hispanic vote & a plan that would have helped pick up much more of this growing population. Now we're going to pass nearly the same plan & piss off the voting block that caused us to do it? Bad idea! \nLooked bad getting judges in! \nSocial Security? Couldn't get anything done even though it's going to crap in just a few years, will never be there in any form by the time I retire, and will seriously hurt the US economy on the way down. Yet all we did was take the hit for talking about it. \nDoing the right thing overseas, but looking bad & taking too long to do it. We couldn't have put 500k troops in there to crush that place from the start & be done with Iran by now too? \n\nWe knew in advance that Bush was not the best leader we have & that he's more liberal than 80% of our party, but we needed to take the middle to win the election & accpeted that we wouldn't get much done, but YES I'm not happy that what congress has accomplished these last 6 years has been non-conservative in nature. We'll still keep congress this fall though & I think win the Pres again in 08, I'm really looking forward to watching democrats freak out when that happens.

Sorry, I had to clean the puke off the monitor before I could reply. Talk about scary thoughts.\n\nCheney keeps saying he won't run in 2008, and I think he probably won't. He's already run the country for six years.

I hope not, bush's poor job approval& his stupid actions will make it easy for the Democrats to sweep the 2006 & 2008 elections! Watch how fast republicans try to distance themselves from him.

I am with you girl, education is the key! It's all really obvious where the Bush administration has gone within the last 6 years. America will regain its self soon with the change of Congress. I am hoping for the start of quite a few investigations to move forward, with a new Congress.

Gosh, what makes you think Bush, or Republicans in particular, would practice dirty tricks? Seriously, the real problems may be the economy, the depleted  military and a domestic terror attack or two. We'll be out of Iraq by then; even though we have 140,000 troops there, the country is close to "chaos" according to a recent Pentagon assessment.

THE 2004 ELECTION WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS THE MOST BULL CRAP ELECTION IN HISTORY.  EVEN REPUBLICANS WEREN'T TRYING TO KEEP BUSH.  ONLY HIS KGB PUPPETMASTERS (WHO GOT KERRY TO RUN A "SKULL & BONES" CAMPAIGN) GOT HIM IN.\n\nQUESTION:  DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT THE GOOFY SON OF A GOOF, GOT MORE VOTES THAN REAGAN?

I just want to know whay did it happen the day after the Republicans lost? It is clear Bush new it was coming, and had they done it a little sooner it could have helped the Republican cause.  Dumb.  Not that I like the guy, but at least you know it was done for real reasons, more than political.

You betcha sweet aspercreme.  Polls show Democrats leading Congressional races already for the 2006 elections and Bush isn't done messin' up yet!  Everything Our President does (and doesn't do  i.e. Katrina) impacts how the public sees the good ol' GOP.  Even Republicans themselves are now splitting between religious conservatives and moderate religious conservatives. Look at the decision this week in Maryland by a Republican judge that "W." appointed himself on "the teaching 'Intelligent Design' as science" being a bunch of crap and crossing the church and state line.  And in a Congressional vote just last week the Minority Leader was able to achieve a rarely seen task- every member of the Democratic Party voted the same.  Yup, think Hilary's on her way in 2008

The only way for the country to go from where we are now is up.  The Republicans have proven that they are out of touch with the American public and can not effectively run the country.  So now maybe America will have a fighting chance to improve.

*sigh* unfortunately it's most likely going to be more of the same old crap.  Just like the republicans were pretty much corrupted by all their power, the same will likely happen to the democrats.\n\nWell, that's assuming they're going to stay in power past the next election.  I guess we can all hope that we'll see some actual positive changes in the upcoming months.... but I'm not holding my breath.

Starting shortly after Bush, Sr. was booted from office by vote, the Republican party underwent a very quiet split.  Old school conservatives gave up the reigns to what have become known as neo-conservatives (neo-cons) with a very different agenda than your regular Republican joe.  To ensure the votes though, the party is still the same "Republicans", but with all neo-con leadership.  Old school Republicans (Reaganites) still in politics didn't wish to lose their backing so publically support the party line while providing unquestioning backing to the neo-con agenda.\n\nThe list of Neo-Cons can be found at their public website along with an outline of their very scary agenda that little resembles classical conservatism.  Through control of corporate media firms, the neo-cons have managed to make politics into an emotional issue where facts are no longer an issue.\n\nLabeling women's rights advocates as "baby-killers" and propogating gay rights movements as "threats to the family", as well as focusing attention away from domestic issues with a wholly manufactured "war on terrorism", they have duped part of the population into becoming something akin to the good folks in 1930's Germany.\n\nI see kids come on here with hate speech straight from emotional neo-con propoganda and I get reminded of that scene in Schindler's List where the little girl is screaming "Goodbye Jews!" as her neighbors are marched away.  Neo-con values are NOT patriotic American values by any stretch of the imagination.  If you change your thinking to the ideal of an American Empire, then the neo-cons are for you...I guess you could say the neo-cons are "conserving American power" at the expense of "American values".

He hasn't got a shot in hell of being supported by the far right wing.  He's pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and acted shamelessly during his trashy divorce.  Wow, will the right wingers love this guy?  Hardly.  Personally, I think the guy's not so bad, but the question is not if liberals like him or the ultra-conservatives will like him, but will moderates like him for the job?  Moderates have come back into their own and gave the House and Senate back to the Democrats.  It's really going to be up to them I think.

the republican agenda has been denounced by the electorate and if they  stay with their (stay the course) policy thier era is not only over it will be dead...remember cheney said that no matter what the election results he said stay the course, HOW ARROGANT  his response is a slap in the face of the electorate and if history tells us anything its this, americans dont like to be ignored or taken lightly. so in closing if they stay the course they will lose the senate and the presidency next election

how low can we go? Bush and Cheney are monsters. How much more can the national debt soar? How many lies can he tell?  Is there another oil-rich country that we can invade? Is Osama Bin Laden still virtually unscathed from his horrendous attack on our country? How many of our young people are going to Iraq? How many will come home? How much richer can the rich get? How much poorer can the poor get? It is a sad state of affairs when our people are out priced at the gas pumps, and it is only going to get worse. These are tip of the iceberg questions, but suffice it to say that there is not a number that goes low enough. He will spend his remaining tenure in office seeing just how much his constituency can stand before reaching point break. I am already there, but I can proudly say that I did not vote for this monster, or for his ass clown father.

Unfortunately the Republicans will again and even if its the Democrats it will not make any difference at all.  They are both made of the same material.  MONEY.  I'd like to see some real change with more independents and Libertarian Party members.
