Without bickering?  No way.  Can they come to a consensus?  Probably.  The Democrats are very beholden to the environmental lobby that wants no new drilling in the US at all, so it'll be a fight.  I think it's in everyone's interest to have ZERO depenence on anything in the Middle-East though, no matter what they must do.

I VOTED AMERICAN.  SOME DEMOCRAT AND SOME REPUBLICAN.  THE PEARTIES DONT MATTER TO ME ONLY THEIR BELIEFS AND PLANS DO. WHETHER OR NOT THE POLITICANS DO WHAT THEY SAY IS YET TO BE SEEN\n\n\nI was in OIFIII and not all of Islam is bad but there is a huge propraganda machine in the middle east.  I dont think the muslim's in the middle east know if they hate the west because they havent been able to make up their minds.  They have had dictators, Hamas, Al Quidea, and other Islamic Facists shoving this stuff down their throat and telling them if they dont belive they will be killed.  "Dont trust anyone" ever herd that in a security brief?  I take that to heart if someone wants my tust earn and keep but soon as you stab me in back it is on.  I trust some muslims and christians and whoever but I wont take their word on anything.

Touche. So I agree with you, and I don't want to bash Bush, but what's happening in the Middle East isn't acceptable either. Where'd you get that information anyway? I want to read it.

Mark Foley gets exposed.\n\nRepublican reaction: "The Democrats timed the release of this information to damage us in the election."\n\nHaggard gets exposed.\n\nEvangelists reaction: "The Democrats leveled these false accusation to damage the Republicans in the election." (Oops, I guess they meant to say "true" accusations).\n\n100 U.S. troops die in Iraq in October.\n\nRepublican reaction: "The terrorists are ramping up their attacks just to undermine us in this election." (Lousy US policy has NOTHING to do with the chaos!!!)\n\nSaddam conveniently has has sentencing MOVED UP so that it takes place the day before the US election. \n\nRepublican reaction: "Sheer coincidence."

I think a vote for Democrat means conceding that the terrorists have won in swaying our opinion.  They have already succeeded in turning the liberals against out own government and president, which is terribly unfortunate.  But yes, the terrorists need to realize all their killing and all their violence has not swayed the American people and we are still hell bent on stopping them one way or another.

I think Nancy Pelosi has some great leadership skills and will help set  a direction for the Democrats. I am and Independent who dislikes both parties but voted for Democrats this time as it is a time for a change. Whether it will be positive remains to be seen. I have not heard of a specific direction and program agenda that they have. I do hope for the sake of the nation both parties can get us headed in the right direction. Enough of the scare tactics by Bush regarding national security. Lets actually see what can be done here not abroad to make use safer. I don't care whether Iraq stands up as a democracy or goes down the toilet. They will tear each other up based upon 2000 years of violent history and sectarian violence. Typical third world mentality. We should not abandon them but we do need to start withdrawing.

Al Qaeda and Iran now have control of Congress.\nYes, the DEMOCRATS OWE THEM.\nAnd they will repay them.   Democrats always repay our enemies.

Most likely the Democrats because they would take our millitary out of the Middle East and OBL could go on spreading Radicalism throughout that entire part of the world. I mean, for all the straight ticket leftistsh wo refuse to pull their heads out of John's anti-soldier ass, the whole reason 9/11 happened was because our millitary was the only thing keeping the radicalists from permeating throughout the whole middle east. Sorry, but I think if Bush was on OBL's side he would've taken them out, no? Or am I mistaken? Pretty sure I'm not. And sorry that the US in part of the United Nations had has to defend nations that are in threat of being taken over by groups that don't value morality or human life, and see that killing others pleases Allah. No, I'm not bashing Muslims, Radicalists are also Muslim, so don't go off on me idiots. So, in conclusion, OBL is looking for those leftys to be elected Tuesday so he can go back to his plan that Bush broke up. Or would Bush sending more millitary into the Middle East so the radicalists can't spread their beliefs show that he's on OBL's side? If you say yes, then America really is stupider than we thought.

LOL!\n\n\nBut in a real sense, this is true...\n\nMuslims the world over are cellibrating the Democratic victory.  It was on the news.\n\nI bet Osama is excited, it will make his agenda a lot easier. He will be able to take over Iraq without a fight, after the Dems. force us to leave.\n\n\n(On one shoulder, Osama has a tatto that says he loves the New York Times, on the other, it says I love the Dems.)  - Joke

I did not watch Mr. Beck, however I do follow mid east media, and their support of the Democrat Party.  By voting in the spineless, cut and runners the terrorist have achieved a victory and things are going to get so much more difficult for our Troops to do what NEEDS doing, I am very afraid for our brave Military.

Normally I vote as a Moderate. I like our leaders to be as center as possible. I was attracted to Bush's thought of compassionate Conservatism as it was an idea of moderation. I cannot stand the far left and do not think the far right are any better. Though with the choices at hand and the state of the world today I have to ask myself one question," What sort of world do I want my grandchildren to live in?" Currently, my oldest is 13 years old so I'm talking 20 years down the road. I am voting Republican across the board. The Muslim extremist make it very clear. Their only objective is to convert the world to Islam at the cost of innocent life. The war is really with Iran and the battleground just happens to be in Iraq. They must be defeated or eventually a nuclear bomb will no doubt end up in the hands of terrorists somewhere here in America. The Iranian president says publicly that it his reason for being to facilitate the "true Jihad" and calls for the destruction of Israel and the great Satan of America. It is a time for Conservative leadership at the moment. A day will come when I will vote towards the left. The left attempts to make us think this is their time . I believe otherwise. The stakes are too high. Mistakes have been made, Yes. Yet this is time for a "leader", not a time for someone who really only cares what the polls are saying. Thank You.

The economy will start to go backwards. Wall street hates higer taxes and excessive regulations. That is what the Democrats have already comitted to do.  People hate the war. Unless there is radical change in the Iraq situation for the better, and it gets reported by the mainstream media, the Democrats will take both the presidency and the senate  and gain in the house in 2008.\n\nThe swing voters are only voting on one issue - Iraq. The economy and employment are great. The democrats didn't try to attack on any other issue than Iraq. It was a good strategy to win.\n\n I just feel really bad for what is goign to happen to the poor Iraqui people when the Dems force a pullout. I hope it is not like Cambodia where 1.5 to 3 million were slaughtered when we left Vietnam. It will be so sad if this happens, but people won't even pay attention.\n\nThe world economy will take a hit as well.

how about some evidence to that remark...this question is right out of O'Reilly's handbook...start with a falsehood that supports your position and form a question around it.  \n\nI don't think they care...and as a matter of fact, we may be stronger with both political parties in compromise and showing a unified front to them...your comments and those like them help the enemy more than any constructive political dissent and compromise.\n\nAs far as Al Queda supporting Democrats, it's rediculous and just propaganda on their part...it appears you would believe a terrorist above a Democrat...You're letting the nuts win...we are in this together....The Democrats have some in their ranks that want to leave Iraq...I want to BE ABLE TO LEAVE IRAQ...we can't reduce America in response to terrorism by abandoning the rule of law.  I voted Democrat because of the President's excesses, not because I wanted to leave Iraq tomorrow...it also seemed that the Admin. was doing nothing to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and only had complete military victory in Iraq (a government modeled after ours and pro-west) as a way out of this...The President seems single minded and by that I mean simplistic without using other fronts to insulate us like alternative energy and conservation...He is a Military Capitalist and cannot think outside of that box without real cooperation and dissent from opposing parties...he has to be made to listen to other ideas.

Bad news for the troops.\n\nThe Democrats feel that defeat will serve them politically.  So they will work to ensure that defeat.\n\nThe real losers in this election will be the Iraqi people.
