While I am overwhelmed with glee that we have taken back the House as well as the Senate. I am also glad that we will soon be working to fix the budget, However I must say this, " A substantial tax increase will be necessary to overcome this enormous debt the Republican party has put us in!" I just love it when those Republicans Say " Those dirty democrats will raise your taxes" After of course the Republicans have spent every damn dollar we had and somehow managed to funnel it back to their own bank accounts. Maybe the democrats wouldn't have to raise taxes every damn time they got in office if those Dumb @$$ Republicans would stop giving ridiculously huge tax breaks to the wealthy and stop spending like there is no tomorrow. So far I have yet to read in history where a republican balanced the budget, they always leave office with a huge deficit. Then a democrat takes over, raises taxes ( because they don't have a choice) and all the Republicans go " SEE,SEE, WE TOLD YOU SO!"\n\nHey Republicans, \n  Somebody has to pay the bills or the lights get turned off!

Yes, I'm glad it's over.\n\nPolitics is, by nature divisive I just wish we could all get back to working together to go forward.  \n\nThere are a lot of areas that need work in this country and time is of the essence.

I think it's already causing good things to happen......Rumsfeld's gone and Bush has been put on a leash.  I think the Dems will accomplish a great deal for the American people as well as the rest of the world.

there is a funny thing that we've been hearing "this week" from the corporate media...(I think the two brain surgeons above me heard it too.. their tales are wagging ) "It's going to be a close race"? . two weeks ago in our United States Of Amnesia .. it was going to be a Democrat land slide with as much as a 30 point advantage in some places.. within 7 days and no real appreciable Republican "victory" except for Mr. Kerry's ill received pun... they are all of a sudden "going to keep the house" (Bob Novak) "Looks Like they're even going to pick up several seats this time around" (S. Hannity) and this one is the best "The Democrats have botched things so badly in the past several years that Democrat incumbants should be happy to keep their jobs" (Bill O'really ?)\n.. so yes the fix is in .. and the gears of the evil Sith Lords are once again turning, oiled by tax payers dollars and the blood of innocence, spilled on far away desert sands....

I am hoping that it will be a democratic victory in November. It would provide for some checks and balances in our government that is lacking now. It would scare me more to give Bush two more years with a free hand. Just look at what he has done with the last 6 with a Repuglican majority.

i agree, but it's been a while since democrats have had control of congress. and don't forget they only control the house right now, it'll still be a while before all the votes for senate are counted and sorted out. here's to hoping for the senate!

Meh, semi-satisfied. I'm glad that the power shift will help put Bush in check, but unhappy about a lot of the ridiculous laws the Democrats are going to push through. \n\nThe Democrats are no better then the Republicans, IMO. They're all (both groups) worthless, lying, cheating, azzkissing, whore politicians. But, once again, Bush will have to be more restrained now, and when it comes to Bush, that's ALWAYS a good thing.

Very happy, if we also win the Senate, I'll be elated...\nHey Bush,"Do you hear us now!?"

o the dems won? is that why everbody is so blue? LOL

of course it was. That pyrrhic victory (or however the hell you spell it) was evident in the current election that just took place. The republicans use to dominate the senate and house. now the democrats have swooped in and taken it back because the american people has seen how inefficient the country has become under a republican regime. a new "counterculture" has emerged that is probably going to pull this country out ofa rut and bring it into the 21st century.

I certainly am! Now the only problem is getting things done... I expect a few vetoes on bills that Democrats attempt to pass, but then again Bush will be a lame duck for the most part.\n\nI firmly believe that this country will once again start prospering, and regardless of what "Bill Clinton got a BJ Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" idiots say, I believe we're finally on the right track again!\n\n\nPS Remember this pro-republicans: Clinton TRIED to get rid of Osama but YOU ALL started whining about his attempts and calling it a distraction from the lying issue. Remember that 9/11 happened on BUSH'S watch, and remember that HE is the reason why we're in Iraqnam right now. You all LOVE to whine about "the Democrat's don't have a plan wahhhhhhhhhhhhh", but the Dem's DO.\n\n\nThe Democrat's Plan: To clean up the sh*t piles you Republicans have left all across America and in the Middle East.

I think Democrats are starting to get over the euphoria of their win and are realizing what actually happened. Voter samples show that voters were not really voting for the Democrats, but rather against the Republicans. What the voters have done is actually create a stalemate situation. This because while Democrats control the congress, the president controls veto power and the Democrats do not have the majority required to override. So while Democrats have indeed made the president a lame duck, they have also imposed the same on the congress. It does not have to be this way though. If Democrats reach across the aisle to craft bi-partisan legislation which benefits all Americans they can still accomplish many things. However, if they fall back on the liberal agenda nothing of substance will get done in government for the next 2 years. The biggest problem for Democrats is now they have the power and they must produce. Just calling the other side evil is not going to do it anymore. The Democrats say they wanted change for all Americans, the coming days, weeks, and months will show if they were honest, or if they just wanted power again and were willing to say whatever it took to get elected.

It is fascinating to see Bush, who days earlier proclaimed that a democratic win would be a win for terrorists, is suddenly all about bipartisanship and compromise (link below).  Now that the elections over, hopefully other Republicans can stop with the whiny rhetoric and get down to the business of fixing our foreign policy mess.

I have a tendency to think right now that the democrats are just flexing their new found muscles.The New York Times this morning was all talk about how the democrats were only in a hurry about getting the Iraqi war situation in hand and establishing a withdrawal date.\nPolitics are all about compromise,both party's do it all the time.Neither will get all of what they want,its a trade off.There were a lot of moderate Democrats that were elected,not all are of the "lets give away the farm"attitude.\nI keep saying that each side of this issue are getting in too big a hurry to claim victory.After all what have the pro illegals won,yet? Nothing,the anti war /anti Bush faction won.I personally will take a wait and see stance on this.\nTime will tell the whole story.In the mean time,I'm contacting my states government,and this nations government officials and letting them know my views on immigration.The fights not over,its only just started.\nNo to blanket amnesty,\nsecure our borders
