Even if they lose they will still be in Washington. They will just be in the minority. Truthfully both parties will move out of Washington. It is never to early for politicians to start campaigning for 2008. They don't really work any more they just run for office take vacations and vote to give themselves a raise. And that is bipartisan.

VOTE. Get all the chickenhawk Republicans and Democrats out of the House and Senate.

Democrats would need to win control of Congress in the upcoming elections. If that doesn't happen you can forget about it. The Republicans would never let it happen.

Brilliant!!!! The conservatives, traditionalists, and republicans would be wise to start coalescing, and forming a strategy now. Many of your Ideas are doable, and would be a great platform to run on. Count me in. Many of these things could have been acted upon during the past six years, but partisan thinking reared it's ugly head and those years were wasted. The republicans will return, and take the country in a proper direction, not just a (new direction).

There is no hope. There is nothing you can do. American society is beyond the point of no return to government by the people, for the people, of the people. Now, government can do anything it wants with you, any time, any place. You need permission from the government to do just about anything. Government is supposed to be our servant, but has become our master. Government is supposed to fear the people, not the other way 'round.\n\nIf history is any guide, things get worse and worse until the society bankrupts itself, and can be "taken over" easily by other forces. Then a new society arises, with a rebirth of freedom, and eventually that society too destroys itself.

I don't know where you are living, maybe Iraq or Darfur or something. America doesn't have any problems like that. The present Government is just full of criminals right now. They will be dealt with Democratically. The Congress will change in November just watch. The Republicans have had their run since 96 in Congress, and they messed it all up. It's their failure.

Good question.  I think we should lock the Senate and Congress up on Capitol Hill, and not let them out until they figure out a way to help everyone that they're supposed to be working for.

Noisy wheel gets the grease.  In other words, let your representative know your feelings on issues that affect your community and government will be more responsive to your needs.\n\nMany people complain, but will not bother to contact anyone.  Your elected representatives are not psychic and cannot read your mind.  Contact them and let them know how you feel.

This presidency has already failed. Things should improve after the November elections because we will have checks and balances again.  \n\nPeople are soooooo disillusioned with the Republicans....... The majority in congress will have to change hands and there will be more accountability in the executive branch.\n\nThat is, if we don't have massive vote fraud like in Florida and Ohio, last time. Watch out for those voting machines with no paper trial.

You should call your Federal, State & local politicians and let them know that if they can't do their jobs.  Americans will vote them out of office and put someone in their place that can to the job!\n\nAs for your neighbor next door.  Change your locks so his anchor babies can't get in.  Give them a rude awakening that the FREE RIDES are over and that they'll be going on a deportation vacation.

Only way to fix it is to throw out both Republican and Democrat parties and start three new ones. \n\nNot likely to happen. As bad as it is, neither party wants to lose the advantage when the advantage is theirs and neither party wants the influence of a viable third party. \nHeres a thought... simplistic by a thought... \nCreate a non-partisan commission that sets the agenda and guides the legislation. One way to make sure that legislation gets its fair chance on the floor is to set up "lots" of pieces of legislation that before you can move onto the next "lot" all current pieces of legislation in the current lot have to be decided on. I guarantee you one thing... Joe Blow Republican isn't going to want to hold up John Doe Democrats legislation if Joe Blows sponsored legislation is in the next lot.

Resign, then move.\nI wouldn't live in a country that would have someone like me as their president.

The only thing we can do is vote democratic in the next November election.    Better yet, vote out the incumbants.  Bush has until 2008.  At that time, we will get a new president who will most likely order a pull out of iraq.  Nohing can be done until bush is gone.
