Did you think the democrats would have an integrity controversy so soon after the election?

What?\n\nPelosi and her undocumented army of workers?\nHastings the dethroned judge being chaired?\nReid's land deal?\n\nMurtha and his brother?\n\nI don't know what you're talking about

Sure, it is fine...\nOnly the Democrats cry foul & recount when they lose...

I think the Democrats shot themselves in the foot long ago...back in 2000 when they became so entrenched in the "stolen election" argument.....They need to reinvent themselves.....big time.  Get back to their party values, if they have any.

I haven't heard that yet, but here's my thought on it.  Yes it's a flip flop to an extent.  But I'd guess that now that Democrats have won the house they would want to get Rumsfled as far away from any hearings that may be called.  Then of course blame the entire sinking ship on him.

Amen!! I really can't stand to see partisan whining from either side - they're both greedy and corrupt. Most Americans are pretty moderate, myself included, and while I'm not overly thrilled with the way the election turned out, I'm certainly willing to give the newly elected the benefit of the doubt. I won't be whining about voter fraud or any of that crap. It's over - accept it with grace, fellow Republicans. And Democrats with any amount of class will be graceful about their gains.\n\nHere's to the American people!

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.

We'd still be hearing Rush screaming about it today if the Liberals had stolen the election instead of the Republicans.\n\nAnd then, if the Dems had stolen the next election as well, like the GOP did, boy oh boy would they be crying foul.

It would be as big a farce as the impeachment of Clinton was.\n\nIf Democrats are dumb enough to try it, let them.  Republicans at that point shouldn't interfere with the Democrats if they're out to destroy themselves.

I'd have to say given that most Dems were so quick to go to bat for an adulterer that it is refreshing that Americans are willing to stand up for a stand up kind of guy.\n\nWe don't mind constructive criticism, it's the same old, tired party rhetoric that gets frustrating. I just wonder how many anti-Bush people actually voted.

Well, now that the Democrats are doing fairly well, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the machines anymore.  What a coincidence!!  Just wait though, if they lose, they will have to blame it on something or somebody else though.  Its how they roll.

I honestly keep pinching myself to make sure that it is all true. I now fully expect the Democrats to carry on in the vein they have started. \n\nThe contempt with which they describe the administration's policy in Iraq is to be seen to be believed. I expect investigations into all the ambiquous actions of the administration and I expect some of these security, sorry, freedom restricting legislation to be repealed.

should they? clearly\n\nwill they? they have been proudly moving farther and farther out, proclaiming that anyone who stands against them is a "terrorist liberal"... I really don't see any move to moderation in the future with this attitude...\n\nI think the democrats did in the last election... not all but many who won... and that's why they won... and I don't really see any third party with the clout to make anything really happen... but who knows... we could all be surprised...

oh my.  Why is it that we can usually show evidence of democrats cheating in elections (like the dead people voting) but the democrats are the ones who cry foul?

Agreed.  If Diebold was such a big issue, and the Dems were screaming about it days before the election, with their win, why are they not curious to know if their own win had anything to do with it.  Hell, I'm not about to cry voter fraud, but I will say its hypocritical to only whine and complain about fraud only if you lose.  Reps were respectable today, Bush was nice to Pelosi, and everyone is stepping down quietly.  I only wish the Dems would have done the same in the past

I have a tendency to think right now that the democrats are just flexing their new found muscles.The New York Times this morning was all talk about how the democrats were only in a hurry about getting the Iraqi war situation in hand and establishing a withdrawal date.\nPolitics are all about compromise,both party's do it all the time.Neither will get all of what they want,its a trade off.There were a lot of moderate Democrats that were elected,not all are of the "lets give away the farm"attitude.\nI keep saying that each side of this issue are getting in too big a hurry to claim victory.After all what have the pro illegals won,yet? Nothing,the anti war /anti Bush faction won.I personally will take a wait and see stance on this.\nTime will tell the whole story.In the mean time,I'm contacting my states government,and this nations government officials and letting them know my views on immigration.The fights not over,its only just started.\nNo to blanket amnesty,\nsecure our borders

they better not be, or the democrats who won yesterday will find themselves and their buddies out COME NEXT ELECTION.\n\nThe People are finally speaking. \n\nRepresent us, or you are out.

Voted for Bush in the 2004 elections.   Not that I thought the Republicans were the best choice, but a better choice over all the whining I heard from the Democrats.\n\nI think personal digs and scandals be-little both sides greatly.  I just heard more on the Dem's side at the time (and still do).  I truly wish our politicians would show a little more tact, respect and professionalism when polling for votes.
