Will the Republicans' plan of letting the D's win the election & then pinning the blame of the war on em work?

If that's the plan, it better not work.\n\nYou think Karl Rove is the entire Republican Party?

I don't know what that direction is but even though I did not vote democrat I am glad the Republicans lost and I will tell you why, they had become too complacent and not follow through on what they had promise they remind of a sports team that is ahead by 19 points in the fourth quarter and end up losing by a point and after the contest one ask why didn’t the team that was ahead by 19 points keep playing like they did for the first 3 quarters instead of playing prevent defense for the last quarter. This might be the kick they need to set a agenda like they did with the contract with America so the American people can have a clear choice and actually have something to vote for and hopefully this time stick to their agenda.

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 have no doubt that they will try. Hopefully there are enough rational Dems (I can't believe I just said that) to stop it.

Drive people to the polls as long as Republicans are not jamming the phone lines!\n\nWhite House pressed on N.H. tactic\nDemocrats seek records, testimony on phone jamming\nBy Rick Klein, Globe Staff  |  April 13, 2006\n\nWASHINGTON -- New Hampshire Democrats are seeking to depose senior White House officials to learn what they knew about a 2002 episode in which a national Republican operative helped organize the jamming of Democrats' phone lines on Election Day, a scheme for which two GOP officials have already been convicted.\n\nSign up for: Globe Headlines e-mail | Breaking News Alerts This week, as a Manchester judge considers a request to compel testimony and records from the White House and the Republican National Committee in a civil suit brought by the Democrats, the nearly four-year-old local political scandal spilled onto the national scene, with the chairmen of the parties trading barbs and accusations.\n\nHoward Dean, the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, sent a letter on Tuesday to his RNC counterpart, Ken Mehlman, citing the fact that the man convicted of organizing the phone-jamming called the White House political office repeatedly in the days before the election. Dean demanded that Mehlman say whether anyone at the White House or the RNC knew about the plot.\n\nMehlman, who in 2002 headed the White House political office, responded by saying he and his staff knew nothing of the plans. But Democrats fired back yesterday, accusing Mehlman of refusing to reveal the extent of the contact between the White House or RNC and the New Hampshire operatives.\n\n''They're stonewalling because they can't face the truth," said Damien LaVera, a DNC spokesman. ''The law was broken here. We need to know where this goes -- who was involved in this, who authorized it."\n\nAnd watch those paperless voting machines!\n\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hImlHO4csA\n\n\nNever, Never Vote for a Cheating, liar Republican!\n\nWhere is Osama bin Laden????????????????

Absolutely.  It's just that the Democrats want you to believe that if you're republican, you want to rape and pillage the land.  That couldn't be further from the truth.

They are cruising (for pages) - maybe bruising. But I think they should win and will win tomorrow.  I'm not republican.  I want them to win so they do not blame Dems for 'war' or its solution.

Nope...the real issues isn't R or D in the Congress..it is the checks and balances between the branches of government. The GOP has had the advantage and used it to force policy into law without restraint. Now the restraint is there...The Dems will and ave had the same problem when they led the Predsidents office PLUS the Congress. A blend is best. .

Policy is under the realm of the president and it will not change. This situation could be an opportunity for the Democrats or it could become their worst nightmare. If they are willing to work with the Republicans to craft bi-partisan legislation they can produce results. If they choose to fall back on the liberal agenda nothing substantial will occur for the next 2 years. Either way they are in control of the congress now and just blaming the other side is no longer sufficient. They campaigned on change for all Americans if they are incapable of providing direct results they will lose power again in the next election. If you read Democrat posts they are elated they won, but you will not find any real statements about how their agenda will be accomplished given the real circumstances that exist in government at the present time.

It would be as big a farce as the impeachment of Clinton was.\n\nIf Democrats are dumb enough to try it, let them.  Republicans at that point shouldn't interfere with the Democrats if they're out to destroy themselves.

Mission accomplished if both parties work together to fix immigration, the war, wasteful spending, keep taxes lower, etc.\nThen a balance of power between the 2 parties will be good.  \nThe Dems did not like their absence of power and thwarted the GOP.  I hope they are happier now and more willing to compromise.

NO!\nMaybe with the Democrats in control, Bush will not make that attempt. \nAnd a bad smile would be.....\nWe have all seen what stay the course means to the Bush Administration. To Foley, Delay, Haggard, Ney, Lay and many others it means do as I say, not as I do.\nTo Don Rumsfeld it actually means Cut and Run. Great, good riddance.\nTo Bush it means change the course to suit your needs for the moment. With the Republicans out, he is now changing his tune. Flip-Flopping around to keep the investigations at bay, or to a minimum. Promises bipartisan agreements, most likely to wield the veto pen without mercy, keeping Democrats from making any real progress until he is outa there in '08.

It does take two to tango. But I am going to be very pissed at Democrats (I am one) if they pull this stunt. They have talked one way for years, and now appear poised to do the opposite? -- Or is it just another 1) GOP fear and smear job against Democrats, prompted by their recent congressional upset or 2) another historic repeat of a scenario we know so well: GOP messes things up, paints the country into a corner, then leaves the Democrats to clean up their mess?\n\nI need more information.

"Will it be a landslide to the Democrats to teach the Republicans a lesson?"\n\nI SURELY HOPE SO!!!

Actually you are going to break your arm patting them on the back.  The Republicans lost it, the Democrats did nothing and I don't expect them to do anything to be able to keep it before their two years are up.

This could be true.  And also if something goes horribly wrong it will now be blamed on the Democrats.
