They won't. They have their own agendas.

I sure hope so and lots of them!!! BUT I am really waiting for 2008 when we can replace the President and get our deficit back to zero, like it was when he took office, treat each and every american equally and include ALL income levels when deciding who needs help! The people who are the backbone of this great country are the working class and they are in the poverty level of income!!! We are the forgotten ones. So I appeal to ALL DEMOCRATS TO GET OUT AND VOTE ON NOV. 7TH OF THIS YEAR AND ESPECIALLY IN 2008!!!

We, Pro-Americans, must take the initiative to stand up and fight for our rights to be heard.  Everyone is always trying to be polite & not speak what they really feel.  Until we come together & force the government to listen to what we want... things will remain the same.  I can't wait until the !@#$% hits the fan!!!  America will come out on top of this invasion of "ILLEGAL" immigrants problem.

probably after the election.

Give the deadheads in Washington (new and old) some time to figure out what has to be done in Iraq and elsewhere.  It should only take them 2-3 years to make a decision whether to vote on it or not.   I am glad that the Dems have taken over the House (no, I am not a Dem) because they will rebalance the government.  Bush will probably have to use his veto power many times, but the nation will know exactly where he stands and where the Dems stand. If they are smart (which they aren't. They are politicians) they will join together and get something done for the American people.  No more sitting on their asses doing nothing. We will see!

Yeah, you got it about right. They may not to be able to do anything about it. It's up to the voters, remember this is a free country. We all get to vote.

It won't be during this presidency, Bush is too busy trying to distract Americans from his failed presidency by proposing asinine amendments banning gay marriage, remember his is the "decider", LOL. Hopefully when we get a democratic president in office in 2008, the environment and maintaning good public health (i.e. clean water, air, etc.) will once again rise to the top of the Gov'ts "to do" list versus burying it under the guise of an unjust war in the name of fighting terrorism, we'll see.

It will take years to straighten out the mess that Bush has started, indeed the next president will have his or her work cut out for them. I think the only hope is to hold Bush in check until his term is up and the only way to do that is to elect democrats to the house and senate this november.

It would appear that way. At least the House of Representatives got it right - let's hope the Senate realizes how pissed off the American voters are, and change their tune. It's time for a Senate overhaul!

Sad to report that neither thinks it is important enough to make an issue. The Republicans are in bed with business for cheap labor, and the Democrats see them as an oppressed people just trying to make a bettor life for them selves. Until our system collapses under the weight of having to build an infrastructure to handle this influx, we will have to sit and watch our Government do nothing. The way to get some action is to vote every incumbent that has not taken action right out of their cushy jobs and get some new blood in there that really represents the people. It won't be easy because most politicians will say what they think you want to hear, but go on line and look at voting records of our Senate and House of Representatives and blow the ones out that have taken no action.

Mister this is the most sensible question I have found here in quite a while, you are a true American, and what you propose is what should have bee en done years ago , we don't have statesmen any more just crooked greedy politicians who have sold out the American people and our country by selling their votes and not caring what happens to our country, please consider the tax payer paying for their campaign , and keep the lobbyist big interest etc from controlling who runs for office and who wins , the people should be the ones who elect our officials

no but we won't be talking about it after the elections because this issue which has been around since 1849 seems to come up when politicians need distractions from the real issues affecting America such as:   corporate welfare, millions of Americans uninsured, the working poor, minimum wage increases!!, war in Iraq, WMD's, Katrina, CIA leaks, diminishing civil rights, disparity between rich and poor, using God's name for political gain, and many other issues that truly affect Americans everyday..... and not this crap about illegal immigrants being the cause of all of America's problems!!!!!

American voters are like lambs being led to slaughter. They don't have a clue as to what's going on. The 'Republicrats' have a stranglehold on our political process, which they control - and we Americans continue to allow this corrupt behavior to go on without challenge or significant change.         -RKO-

There is absolutely time for a change! There needs to be another party that will do the will of the people. Instead of them spending us into bankruptcy. This goes for both sides of the isle. They need to get rid of the perks they have voted for themselves.It is a part time job! We need to secure our borders and protect domestically first. We are not the saviors of the rest of the world when it come to money or our military. We The People must stand up and get only the best for our nation. We must get rid of the cancers that are infesting our nation today! \nJust my opinion --aught to be yours!

I think as Americans all we truly want is to be treated fairly, and for the entire world to experience the peace and freedom we take for granted every day. We need a new strong leader that has the ability to convey this message to the world. We as a populace need to realize how the rest of the world views us. We can shrug it off and say we don't care what the rest of the world thinks.... but we really do. We need a new direction. To restore our "soft power", we need to be very careful about who we elect in '08.

I don't think it's possible because people want what is no theirs. the U.S. is a prime example. They will keep taking until they have it all and someone is going to fight back.\nthat said we have Bush as a president and the U.S. will keep electing idiots.\nWeapons of mass destruction. HA!!  he just want the oil and people are dying for NOTHING!
