The biggest problem is that it will take my family's, family's, family, to even get close to balancing the debt of this Administration since they wont contribute to America. Selfishness and greed are not the agendas of the Democrat party's politics. Clinton cleaned up their mess from Ronald Regan/George Bush seniors years, in 5 years with reserves. They are just mad and scared they will have to contribute. Well I say if they don't want to then they can leave America and live in Iraq. Americas Democrat soldiers are also tired of cleaning up the Neo_Con's messes.

In the US there is an election every 2 years. The next one is in November.\n\nHouse of Representatives: 2 year terms, every Rep is up for re-election.\n\nSenate: 6 year terms, 1/3 of Senators are up for re-election.\n\nPresident: 4 year terms, 2 term-limit. Next presidential election will be Nov. 2008\n\nAnd incidentally, the elections are on even number years. Always. The elected official takes office in Jan of the following year (i.e. 2009.)

I am a Democrat, and America is totally aware of how the Republicans come across in the World. Over 70% of America doesn't support them, and Congress gets voted in November of this year. The Republicans are going to be history, gone. George Bush could be indicted if the Congress is the Majority Democrat, and then impeached. I hope the World knows that America has more then one political party and will forgive us for what the Republicans have done in the last 6 years.

In general, Americans forgot how destructive the liberal democrats were to the concept of Art4, Sec4, of the Constitution. The first year of this two year cycle will re-open eyes across America and in all likely hood insure a Republican president and congress in 2008.

Excellent question!  Right now, the Congress of the United States is full of people who have to run for office every two years.  That means there is very little time between one election and the next.  Too much time is spent raising funds for re-election that should be spent doing the business of the people.  \n\nI think four-year terms with a limit of two terms might be an answer.  Also, the political parties should spend more time explaining their positions on real issues and less time blasting the opposition.\n\nSome of the congressmen spend way too much time on so called fact finding trips to exotic places, and on Sunday news shows and participating in committee meetings that acomplish little more than providing  face time on cameras.

The Democrats, prior to Reagan and all the monsters he spawned, were always the party of National Defense.  That is, when conflict is unavoidable.  Democrats are reasonable.  We don't shoot off our mouths like street punks and invade other countries in wars of aggression or thinly disguised coups for more oil.  What the Republicans have done in the past 6 years, has set this nation back 20 years, but after we clean up their mess, yes, we'll be a lot safer.

No, I don't believe they can. \n\nThey don't have time, they're too busy yelling that the Democrats "have no plan".

No, as a former two term president he has already served 8 of the maximum 10 years that are allowed and if anything happened to President Hillary he could not fill out the term unless it is less than two years. In as much as it would be a four year term that would make it impossible.

Our government was designed to be a system of checks and balances.  For the last 6 years the republican party has ruled, unchecked.  The election of a democratic congress will simply restore the system that is supposed to be in place.  Bush will have a harder time trying to push things through a democratic congress than he did a republican one.  Lets hope that whatever does get accomplished is what Americans want, not just what one party perceived as the most beneficial to them and their constituents.

We probablu have to wait until January. You can't impeach without a majority vote, and the new Democratic congress won't be sworn in until January

depends on who has the white house in 2008. We don't have the manpower to do it now, and if we did, our commitment to the middle east will be more like 20-30 years longer
