I am a Republican and I get it.  The people have spoken and democracy is the name of the game.  Not to take away from the Democrats' victories or anything, but I am afraid that people voted for "anything but the same ol' same ol'."  I still have yet to hear what the "new direction" is that the Democrats are planning to lead us in.  Quite frankly, I don't think the Republicans had a plan and I don't think the Democrats have a plan.  The Democrats now have control of the House back after 12 years.  It's a cycle, it always happens that way.  I am not one of those whining Republicans.  My congratulations to the winners all around!!

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....

republicans are the ones that somewhat understand the problem and the democrats don't understand anything. i loved bush's policy on illegal immigration....if it had been passed it would have been the first thing that bush did right throughout his entire presidency!!! i really hope that illegals don't get amnesty...they broke the law and should not get rewarded for doing so!!!

I've already heard mention that some investigation of Bush's conduct in office will probably be instituted in the future. Right now the Dems are savoring their win and will proceed slowly at first. Don't look for too much rhetoric about this investigation until after the Dems take control in January. We still have two months of a lame duck Republican congress to endure.

Go and vote democrat.  Then after we take back the congress they will start investigations of king bush and his cronies and put in some real election reform laws.

Pretty pissed that our party hasn't been very conservative... Fiscally conservative - the war spending I understand, but pork spending? Oh no! \nTanked the immigration issue. Bush came in with a fair bit of the hispanic vote & a plan that would have helped pick up much more of this growing population. Now we're going to pass nearly the same plan & piss off the voting block that caused us to do it? Bad idea! \nLooked bad getting judges in! \nSocial Security? Couldn't get anything done even though it's going to crap in just a few years, will never be there in any form by the time I retire, and will seriously hurt the US economy on the way down. Yet all we did was take the hit for talking about it. \nDoing the right thing overseas, but looking bad & taking too long to do it. We couldn't have put 500k troops in there to crush that place from the start & be done with Iran by now too? \n\nWe knew in advance that Bush was not the best leader we have & that he's more liberal than 80% of our party, but we needed to take the middle to win the election & accpeted that we wouldn't get much done, but YES I'm not happy that what congress has accomplished these last 6 years has been non-conservative in nature. We'll still keep congress this fall though & I think win the Pres again in 08, I'm really looking forward to watching democrats freak out when that happens.

Sensenbrenner (House Bill Sponsor) says the provisions about an illegal being a felon were put in at the request of the White House.  Press reports from last December have Bush saying good things about the House Bill. Somewhere he decided he could get his slave labor program put in, and now he wants that.\n\nHe sent a delegate to meet twice with the House and Sensenbrenner didn't even bother to go.  Others from the House just kept saying "The President isn't where the people are," according to press reports.\n\nThe one faction that wins from excessive immigration to the point where education and other services are ruined is big business.  That appears now to be what matters most to him.

Expecting people to respect the law is not racist. I agree with your position, but I do care who is in the country. Respecting the law begins with not entering the country illegally. Have no fear though Democrats are going to give them amnesty and then they will all be legal. The new incoming head of the Homeland Security Committee has stated that his first goal will be to review the border fence with an eye towards scrapping the whole project. I am also sure that now that Democrats control The House, The Senate's first order of business will be to pass the Kennedy/McCain immigration bill, which will not only legalize all that are hear already, but will also allow no less than 400000 new immigrants into the country per year. The major stumbling block to passage has been that the House would not accept it and that doesn't appear to be a problem anymore.

Bush has already tried to blame the Democrats for his failed Immigration reform, despite his party having control of both houses of congress.\nI think they will try to blame it on any Democrat that is handy: Governors, Mayors, Congress, and if all else fails: Clinton.

With the Democrats in control it shouldn't take too long.....\n\nThey'll give amnesty to all illegal aliens\nand English will not become the official language.

I am extremely disappointed that the democrats have taken control of the house & the Senate. I don't think that people realize what is about to happen in our country. War is always a nail in the coffin of the incumbent party. It has always been that way. You guys have no Idea what  you have done!!!!

Hoyer was just elected over Pelosi as majority leader in the House, did you see?\n\nWe are waiting to see who the powers that be are.\n\nHowever, think hard what a pass-able solution might look like and write to your congressmen.  That would be my suggestion.  It is starting to sound like if they move forward it would be something new, not a 'version' of the Senate Bill (thank heavan).  That means voices need to be heard.

The Senate shot it down.  The House passed it and the Senate would not, they are supposed to present another bill sometime this week, as to whether it gets to Bush or not is another thing.  Anyway he is a politician from Tejas, what possible benefit would slowing the flow of illegal immigration be to him?  It's not like Cheney could be elected.  Thank God!!
