Do you take a wait-and-see stance after the upheaval resulting from midterm elections?

It's premature to expect anything.  Politicians regularly promise the world and even promise to tie a nice little bow around it too.  Nobody wants promises - they want results.\n\nAnd whether anything is REALLY going to change or not is still completely a matter of speculation.  We will all have to wait and see.\n\nBut, as the saying goes, "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results".  We may not get different results from the governement after this election, but at least we're not doing the same thing over and over.  And most of America clearly doesn't like the way various things are going.

Everyone is welcome to speak on our electorate process in our country,everyone's opinion is welcome. There were were no major problems in this election,as in the last Presidential election where Florida and Supreme Court got involved in choosing our last President. \n  The people in this country are tired of the killing and the mayhem of the Middle East,and we tried to solve the process by helping out,but it has only made the situation worse. The Voting Public of this country spoke loud and clear on this issue this past election. \n  Thank you for your input and your concern of a big major world crisis,and hopefully our legislatures will solve the problem in the upcoming months..it takes time.

You'll have to wait and see. And no.

I voted Kerry, but I had voted for Dean in the primary and wish he had won the nomination.\n\nIf I had it to do again, of course I would vote Kerry in the main election (assuming I couldn't rally enough friends to change the Democratic primary results), but I would also take two particular friends with me to vote for President and let them experience the political process (I later found out that they had never voted for anyone, in any election).\n\nIn the meantime, I have a sign in my window reading "Impeach Bush," and I can only hope that my dearest wish will come true...\n\nor that at least our VP will resign over shame for his stances, his policies, oh, and for shooting someone in the face...and that Bush will find himself a far less efficient instrument for the radical right without his puppeteer in the wings.\n\nSorry, but I needed to let out some frustration there. Thanks for listening. Good question.

Right, until the elections are over...

Neither, I think the line is somewhere in between all of the party's ideas.  But, there is something I want to say...Republican, Democrat, or whatever you are, we should support our President and his decisions.  Even if we don't agree, we as a whole United States voted for him.  Now that he's in term, it's not about ourselves as singles-it's about us as a United States.

Oh, I'm disappointed, but not shocked. We know that the tides of power shift in this country, for better or worse, but at no time should anyone give up hope that we can as a whole be better. I don't agree with Dem policies and initiatives 95% of the time, but the American people who voted have asked that these people be given a chance again. I think domestically this will mean... a new social program here, gridlock over it there, etc, etc. But all things to debate in the near future (at least we are not shooting each other over the results!)\n\nRegardless of the situation, all should remember, we are a country about peaceful exchanges of power. And as I mentioned in other posts, we needn't forget that is a blessing in itself.\n\nOf course, it's time to start working on that next election....! ;-)

Not really.  This midterm election was more of a "recall" of the current Senate, and does reflect some mistrust and dislike of the president, since it was his party which lost seats.  However, the presidential election is still two years away, and a lot can change between now and then.  Also, the next presidential race will be a tough call since both parties much put forth a new candidate, as Bush cannot run again.

I thought that was/is the direction we are heading after the mid term election....(we have been heading in that direction for some time..) Give the Libs the oppportunity and it shall be so!

It's a pendulum, the Republicans had control and unfortunately a lot of people are not happy with current events.  Time for a change (that sounds familiar). Not what I voted for.

No.\n\nWhen a politician makes a promise they might at that time honestly want to fulfill that promise, but when in office, find that they have to renege because of certain circumstances they were not aware of.\n\nThis is what elections are for.

I think any serious violations should be reported immediately--I don't care if its coming from a Whig, Libertarian or whatever. Not to report it and wait for the election to be over then start talking up complaints is so irresponsible--but I'm sure it will happen somewhere this year.

LOL.  Well obviously the answer is 'yes', the 'people have spoken' or so to speak.  We had our chance for our voices to be heard (it's called Election Day, it pre-marked on most calendars), and we failed to do so.  It's sad how politics, especially Bush, have become such a polarizing factor in America, when fewer people voted in the last election preportionately than ever.  You would think with all these strong opinions, people would have been clogging the polls. So, in a nutshell 'let your voice be heard'?  Obviously most people don't care about that any more.

Their system is different than ours. His party has already told him that he is OUT but they get to pick a specific time for the next election. I believe I heard it was next March.

What you mean is will the repukes rig another election, or will the democratic and American response be great enough to over come these atrocity's, I sure hope so. We need to restore checks and balances to the government.
