Is it just me?  I have not heard the Republicans providing any kind of support for the turmoil with the?

That's because the Repuglicans cut and run when their friends become entangled in a mess that could bring them down, an example being mark Foley and how all of the Repuglicans showed support before his scandal and now they wont even mention his name.

I had not heard this but what makes you think it's republicans?\n\nThere are people who take any opportunity to harass. Could this be one?\n\nRegardless any republican has to be doing some serious soul searching right now. To give republicans control again will have far reaching consequences that you may not find out about until you retire. At that point you better have plenty of money.

Both parties are not in touch with americans and I do not see any 'good' coming from this.  I see the Democrats as gloating over the Republicians and mudding the waters so they might win more seats and the presidential election in 2008.

I'm confused by your writing that "Republicans in Congress have their work cut out for them this fall". Is there some secret polling I'm not aware of that says Democrats are cruising along? Last I heard the Democrats in Congress were polling with LESS than 25% approval ratings.\n\nI think everyone is going to have a tough time this election season. And that's awesome.

Its all just so wonderful isn't it?  In all seriousness, it is going to be little scary for the republicans for a while.  Yet, things will calm down and life will move on, and hopefully for the better.\n\nTake Care

Because New Orleans is an issue Republicans can not spin enough to make themselves look better than the Dem's. They can with immigration, that's what all the fuss is about. The elections are coming up.. Neither problem will really be fixed..

Phil, I was in Iraq.  Funny, I didn't see you there...  Democrats, Republicans....  Does it REALLY matter?  They're ALL over paid and underworked.  And they'll all promise to kiss you when they're done too.  I'm not a Republican, I'm a conservative.  I believe we should "Teach" those in need how to catch fish so that they will be able to eat for a lifetime, not just hand them one so that they can eat for today.  (in reference to government handouts like welfare)\nI believe in holding people accountable instead of holding their hand...\nI know the last Democrat to actually get us out of a war was Truman.  And it was only because of people like Churchill...  Incidently, he was also the last president to not have a college degree.\nAnd if being a Democrat is so high and mighty, then why were they the ones to support the institution of slavery in this country?  (Lincoln was a Republican)  Guess it kind of makes sense then that so many "minorities" in this country support an organization that went to war to try and continue to oppress them...    But wait, it occurs to me that welfare is still a form of slavery and opression... Duh.\nAm I the only one who finds it a little more than slightly disconcerting that the head of Al Qaeda in Iraq and the "President" of Iran both commended the American people for having voted in the Democrats?

I am not sure of Mr. Bush's thoughts on the subject but most republicans deny it is happining. They say it is just a cycle and that it will take care of itself. Some left wingers think the is to satisfy special interest because of the republicans lack of invironment laws to address it. In all actuallity I think that if we don't do something soon to turn the tide we are going to poison the world to the point that there will be no turning around.

Just watched the movie myself. I was already supportive of the war, but even more so now. I really don't think they get it at all! Not even a little bit. I think they are so consumed with hatred for Bush and the republicans that they can't see what is obvious. We are in serious trouble if they take over control of our country. They don't understand the evil that is out there....just waiting.....

the republicans are busted for not doing their job for- how long now? at this point they're just trying to save face.\n\ndemocrats suck too.\n\nWE NEED A NEW PARTY

Oh there is outrage.  It just doesn't make the paper.  We are marching, we are writing,  we are talking.  Hopefully if will show up in the next election.  Even in Ohio where the next guy running for governor is in charge of the election, is head of the GOP in Ohio and is being supported by the mega churches.  He also says he see not conflict of interest in this situation. He is the same man in charge of giving Bush Ohio via the election irregularities that he claims didn't happen.  Like more Republican votes in Gahanna than there were registered voters.  Like having two voting machines that worked in mostly Democratic neighborhoods with a wait line of two to three hours while in the Republican neighborhoods it was a twenty minute wait.  I live here I know.  I live in Republican neighborhood.  Son lives in Democratic neighborhood.  We both vote.  Like having stock in the company he recommended for the contract for voting machines in Ohio where there is not curtain around the vote.  Eventually everybody gets caught.  Karma is a b**ch.  I just hope I will be around to see it.\nAnd if one more person talks about 9-11 I am going to scream.  There was not ONE Iraq terrorist in the bunch.  The majority of them were Saudis.

Of course not.  I didn't know there were any "great republicans".

Yup , the SS RED ELEPHANT struck some  well charted reefs; Corruption Reef, Iraq War Rock, and drifted over and was holed by Opinion Poll Rock.  Its springing leaks all over and setteling low.  A number of Repubrats are eyeing the life boats, with a mind of what they will be saying at the Inquest Hearing at the Board of Trade.   I imagine some of them may lose their Mates and Master's tickets over this.  It does not seem to be under weigh, nor under command, but the captian refuses to send out distress signals.  Even if the Democrat Salvage Tug M/V BLUE DONKEY\ndid arrive on the scene and offer to assist for the Lloyds Open Form, \nIts doubtful the Repubrats will accept the offer. \nBe interesting to see what might happen. \nMonitoring radio traffic and standing by.  PS Out.

You probably would not expect to hear this from a Republican, but I think this may be a good thing for our party. Sometimes when ANY particular party has had success for several elections in a row in maintaining control of the House and Senate, they start pulling away from the middle, where the majority of Americans actually are. A wake up call such as this last election brings the party back into check, causing them to reassess their positions and moving more toward compromises to gain those borderline voters.\n\nI look to this event as being a catalyst to refocus the Republicans and have them more attuned to the will of the people so they will be stronger for 2008. Watch for moderate Republicans like McCain run for President.\n\nI see the Democrats as misinterpretting the will of the people thinking this is a hearty endorsement of their platform rather than a cry for change. They'll not have quite as strong a showing in 2008, and by 2012 control will revert back to the Republicans again. I predict an extreme left-winger to run for President. I don't think it'll be Hillary but she may be added to the ticket for VP.\n\nAs far as real change in the next 2 years, don't count on it. Bush is still in charge and although the Dems gained control, many of the seats they won were from moderate Dems like Lieberman, Casey, Webb, and Tester which will not support a retreat/defeat in Iraq.

Who cares. Alot of people are against who they are so who knows.\n\nThats all the republicans want to do. they worry about all the wrong things.

I think for the last year President Bush has been the fall guy for Rumsfield but loyalty is high on his agenda. His administration has more friends than many think - the election is over & to take the next election will require unity. We proved every man for himself did not work. The ranks will close. My state went 82% Republican including several Democrat seats to state Senate & House. We split our national House seats. Conservatives & Moderates will learn the Democrats do not speak for them. This could be a good thing - sacrificial lambs.

I'm angry because our political system is horribly broken and people are too busy attacking each other as dirty Libs or filthy Neocons to see this. It needs fixing. I don't have the answers but want to help. And yes, you detect anger. Is the Republican party imploding? Don't know.
