Now that the balance has shifted, will those seeking impeachment finally find success?

No, I believe Nancy Pelosi, who has said they will not be seeking impeachment.  She expressed there is too much to accomplish to let the Congress get snarled up in impeachment proceedings.  I think she's right.  I'd like to see him impeached, I think he richly deserves it.  But, I'll respect the Democrats more for turning their full attention to the war, the economy and our safety in this country than for seeking revenge.  On a side note, Bush already invited Pelosi to lunch, I couldn't believe the fit of giggles that gave me lol.

No. An exercise in futility. Conviction requires a 2/3 vote from the Senate.  Will never happen unless something even worse than what he has already done is uncovered.  The democrats would be better advised politically to pass positive legislation that benefits middle class americans and have Bush veto it.

If he hasnt commited any crimes we cant impeach him. So, no, it wouldnt help. All it would do is make the democrats happy. That doesnt solve anything.

Simply put, enough people (myself included) don't feel that he has broken the law. If enough members of congress feel that the president has committed "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors" they can begin impeachment proceedings.\n\nA lot of people talk about this, but my opinion is that even among the president's most ardent opponents in the congress, I don't think there are many that wish to see an impeachment proceeding based upon the actions the president has taken with regards to anti-terrorism measures and/or the war in Iraq.

Considering exit polls showed more people were concerned with the recent scandals than with the war, probably not...but it might have been closer.\n\nI have to admit I'm surprised to see changes happening so quickly though... apparently Dubya is not actually a president-shaped cd player with 'stay the course' stuck on infinite repeat after all. I mean this man has been beating his head against this particular brick wall for years now... while some 6 billion or so people throughout the world said 'Uh, buddy... you fu.cked up and this is NOT actually working' and all it took was a thorough official trouncing of the GOP to get him to realize that maybe SOMEbody ought to be looking for actual solutions. So I guess he's not entirely brain dead after all, but it still bears mentioning that my eleven year old niece was able to figure out that Iraq wasn't going very well quite some time ago.\n\nOf course it remains to be seen if anybody can really pull our collective American butts out of this mess, but at least we have some hope.

Eventually I think it will.  It will take a while for the lobbyist to turn them but most of them will turn corrupt as money and power seem to have that effect on humans in general.

I am sure that they will try, we need to watch them and bring charges against any irregularity, maybe if some of these cheaters go to jail we can have a fair and honest election. Everybody that votes should have their vote counted and it is not right that it is more important to put your man in office then to have a fair, honest and open election. If the democrats loose fair and square I do not have a problem with it as the people has spoken. But as with the last two presidential elections, when there is even a doubt it cast a shadow on the whole system and in time will cost us our freedom.

Unfortunately not.\n\nThe democrats will push their agenda....\n\nBut guess what? Next electionthe american people can push back and vote in the other party. And if they refuse to represent "the people" we can vote them out too.  \n\nIts time for the government to represent the people again.

I certainly hope so.\n\nI have been sick and tired of hypocrites winning in politics only because they mention their gawd every time, to be hiding their corruption under their cheap shield

Nope. It wont happen. On either side. Now you can look for the Reps to find anything about the Dems that they can throw. It will never end. Please the day people can actually agree to disagree is the H@!! freezes over. I hate to seem so negative but that is just the way it is and will continue to be as long as there are haters.

I don't think it will be the end quite yet. With Republican control, there will have to be unrefutable evidence of the "name your issue" that has crossed the Bush Administration's path to get them to actually do something about it. There is mounting evidence against him in several areas, but not black and white outstanding evidence; at least not good enough for them as of yet. It is only a matter of time, but if the Democrats wrestle control in November, the risk of this happening will increase; however, they will have to be careful and do that only with credence, or they will be accused of just wanting to get back at Bush. When that day happens, I will be ecstatic.

Will the mainstream press characterize the shift in power as the "voters having a temper tantrum" as they did back in 1994?\n\nWill the looney left finally admit that the GOP hasn't been stealing elections and that the Dems really have been losing elections the last 12 years?

Many of us did have our eyes wide open all along. The longer it goes on the more that do wake up, and see what grave mistakes have been made. Finally, enough people decided they wanted a new direction, and voted for change. I'm just sorry it took six years for that to happen.\nThere is something much deeper going on than what now meets the eyes. The Iraqi leadership in place at the moment, Saddam's death sentence, and Rumsfeld's resignation, are all closely related. I don't know yet how it's all tied together. We will see how it comes out in the coming months.\nAdded November 9, 2006\noobily...What I mean by much deeper going on, is I have a feeling that something on the scale of Watergate is happening. Early and mid-seventies. Nixon resigned to avoid being impeached. Much of his staff was removed or resigned as well. I was too young at the time to know what it involved. Henry Kissinger was part of the Nixon team. The Bush Administration has been having private talks with Kissinger in the last few weeks. I wonder why. Damage control possibly. Advice on how to handle the fallout, which we have yet to see. Some of the same countries were involved back then that we are up against right now. I could be wrong, but it seems strangely similar.

Policy is under the realm of the president and it will not change. This situation could be an opportunity for the Democrats or it could become their worst nightmare. If they are willing to work with the Republicans to craft bi-partisan legislation they can produce results. If they choose to fall back on the liberal agenda nothing substantial will occur for the next 2 years. Either way they are in control of the congress now and just blaming the other side is no longer sufficient. They campaigned on change for all Americans if they are incapable of providing direct results they will lose power again in the next election. If you read Democrat posts they are elated they won, but you will not find any real statements about how their agenda will be accomplished given the real circumstances that exist in government at the present time.

It's definitely a step in the right direction!\nWhen enough people stand up to the criminality's of this administration, politicians will follow suit!
