Should Republicans look on the bright side?

Whoa!  Who said this is over and that the dems won???  Last that Fox is reporting they still need three seats in the Senate and 5 in the house.  Western states are still far from being fully reported.  Don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

I wouldn't go that far. I know several Republicans who are quite firm in their beliefs (most of them can't stand Bush, but that's another issue) I'd think of it more as theory vs. reality - it's easy to believe something until you see the effect it has on people. Like the old joke goes, a conservative is a liberla who's been mugged.

well anything a repubican is for they are against, unless they think of it first, and if a republican thinks it might be a good idea, then they ar against it agaim, and dont forget, anytime you make a point to a dem, they are prone to tell you off, call you names, make fun of your social status, and tell you your intellegence level is lower than theirs!!

He could very well be forgiven if something positive comes out of it.  Although it's a far-fetched wish. I, too, don't hold as many grudges as 60% of Americans do.  And I'm not even a Republican.  I like to believe that he is just unaware and pretty much doing what he thinks is best with the little knowledge that he really has (about many things)...\n\nBut, hey.  History judges us all.

Maybe they want to show the other unRepublicans that the Republicans too can favor a larger gov't. Don't try to hide your true colors, Reps!

That's true. From what I've seen, it looks like Republicans may keep a thin hold on the senate. So even if they have the house, neither side is going to make much progress in the next few years.

Drop em like we dropped Republicans.\nBest advice.  Stick with the people that make you happy.

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.

Yes! A Republican majority in either House will be loudly cheered by the White House as "mandate" of their policies. Whether we want to think of these as local elections or not, the outcome will be a referendum on a national scale.

that's what the media says.\nbut honestly that just being nice to republicans.\nit should be a referendum on the coruption we've seen ( including the war)\npeople need to ask themselves what did the repulicans promise us when they came to power.\nhas there " conservativeness" really saved the country money?\nBill Clinton had a surplus at the end of his second term, do you think bush will be able to claim the same?

... is there a light side?\n\nHim and Rove may never die... but instead roam the forests living off of the blood of unicorns...

Not at all. \n\nAnyone with any sense knows that Republicans are not "evil." They don't hate the poor and are not racists.  Republicans believe that people should try to better themselves through education and hard work.  Seems like all Democrats want is to keep the the down-trodden down.

Some people feel like the Republicans have not lived up to their core ideals, or for that matter, their promises.\nAlso, because the Republicans have been in complete power for quite a while now, they are the target of discontent in our country.\n\nMany people who are being hurt by globalism and a lack of quality/affordable healthcare are angry, and who else can they see to blame? Republicans hold the congress nd the white house, so who else are they going to hold accountable?\n\nThere was a time when Republicans did not approve of running a huge deficit (which is happening now), wanted the government to stay out of religion (even Pat Robertson was leery of the faith-based initiatives), and expected their politicians to do the right thing (unlike all of the folks linked to Abramof, Foley, and others).\n\nPerhaps many people have realized that the Republicans have become drunk on power, and that they needed to be reminded that their followers are not sheep.\n\nThat being said, the same might easily happen to the Democrats once they are in power for a long time. \n\nAnd sad as it is, both sides have been doing name-calling and hurtful chants for quite some time now----you just notice them more when you are on the losing side.

Menifee huh?  Lovely area (snicker) Maybe all the meth fumes are getting to your head. Wow, I wish republicans were not so closed minded. Good looking out for the GOP my friend...show the world your true colors....idiot

Seriously, that is one thing I noticed a long time ago about Republicans and part of what made me switch parties to democrat. \n\nThere seems to be this mentality in the Republican party to constantly blame ANYTHING or ANYBODY else you can for whatever downfall you see in the country at that moment.\n\nThat could be gays demoralizing our nation to those darn anti-patriot treasonist liberals. LOL

I think they would compliment each other well.  Experience plus charisma.  I don't think that any of the potential Republican teams can beat that.
