how long will it take for Dem. to mess Washington up?

Haha not too long!  They will do respectable things like Clinton did.

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!

It will be in time for the Republicans to use it as a campaign tool.  They'll say, "We're bringing them home while the Democrats never came up with a plan."  All the while it was actually the Dems idea, the righties just took it after they shot it down.

Hmm - a lost democrat in DC - what a shocker.

It will take many, many years.  We have lost the respect of the world and our word means nothing.  When Bush told all of his lies to get us into this war for profit, he spoke on behalf of the American people.  When he was allowed to steal a second term in office, it appears that we accept this man and therefore are okay with the way he does business.  The only thing that could be worse is to sit idly by and accept another rethuglican to finish the job that the current thug started.  PLEASE VOTE A STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET and take at least 5 unregistered voters to get registered and drive them to the polls!!! America cannot afford another 8 years with that party in control and frankly unless you are wealthy or absolutely insane, how could any moral person go along with this current president, his administration and the party that supports his thuggery.  Sorry for the rant.....  Peace

Typical Democrat behaviour.  Watch for Repubs to have slashed tires tomorrow.

Good idea, I think it is a time for a march on Washington. Congress seems to be getting weak on what they started. Letters and e-mail you congressmen and senators and let them know how you feel.

No he won't be lucky because he will inherit the mess from this one...he has to be pushed into a war and once the republicans are out of office they will go on the attack against him blaming him for everything and acting like they never did anything to contribute to the problem....then the democrats will pretty much do the same if they lose so I hope a completely differnt party wins...Im sick of Dems and Republicans...why don't we all just try something completely differnt this next election.

I don't know about that, but I do know that the dems will now be forced to work WITH the president instead of just shooting off their mouths. Since they have the majority, if nothing gets done, it WILL be blamed on them. They can't simply obstruct any longer.

Pelosi & Reid will have the most corrupted bunch of crooks we've seen since Clinton & Gang.\n(And this will be even with the News Media trying to cover it up for them.)

Now come on... The Republicans were in six years and never really developed a policy.. other than getting people killed... how about giving the Dems a little time.. at least Wait until January and they take over.  Don't worry, they will find a way to clean up your mess.

How about never!  This will never happen because of the good ol' boy network.  You know you scratch my back I'll scratch yours scenario.  Washington is full of people that are money hungry and I think they have lost the heart of the people.  In my opinion there's only a handfull, 10% maybe,  that are real politician that do not forget who put them in office and stand up for right!

DC govenment can not even figure it out!!!

If they are smart, they will be laid back and very careful for the next 2 years and wait to capture the Presidency too.  Thankfully there are Dems like John Kerry who seemingly only take their feet out of their mouths for only a few months at a time.\n\nBut few enough Dems are really smart.  I expect Palosiis going to turn up her annoying personality up a notch or two, feeling like she has a mandate.  This may actually be a good thing, remind Americans why they changed the House to Republican more than a decade ago.

The corporate owned media, the religious right, the neo-con talking heads, have no dignity in defeat.  They will be on the offensive for the next few years trying to slam the Dems for anything they do.  Every issue will be a fight--mark my words.  Nancy will be the commander of the USS Dem and where she steers the ship, the rest of the fleet will follow.

I don't think you will ever see the Republican Party take any ownership of their mistakes, it's always somebody Else's. Talk about a sickness and in denial. It's going to take a new Democratic congress to get to the bottom of it all. From their dirty tricks squads, it also looks as if there is a lot to cover up, maybe too much.
