I believe the Democrats will pick up 10 or so congressional seats and 1-2 senate seats.  Republicans will still control Congress but the Senate will be deadlocked 50 -50 making it difficult for Republicans to push their agenda through. Watch for all Republicans to distance themselves from the President who will go from lame duck to dead duck. Republicans will start harping on Iraq and Democrats will try to take the lead on fighting terrorism and the economy and will be criticizing Republicans for a record deficit, high oil prices, poor Iraqi and Iran policies, and corruption. The Presidential hopefuls will all be trying to balance themselves On the fence --- in other words, politics as usual

The Republicans, the Democrats and what's the third one????

What several have listed are actually conservative ideals.  The republican party is closer to conservatism than the present democrat party, but still not conservative.   Oddly, the democrats in the day of JFK were more conservative than the republican party is today.\n\nUnfortunately the democrat party has gone off the left end of the spectrum and the republicans are heading there too.   We probably need a strong conservative third party if we want to save this country.

HAHAHA... this is the least likely question I've ever seen in my life... your list could just as easily be made up of the cast of American Idol... if anyone actually thinks Republicans will nominate a woman any time in the near future, I have some ocean front property in Arizona I want to sell you... they are called conservative for a reason... hahahaha

Republicans And Democrats Are But One Beast\nWith Two Heads\nFeeding From The Same Trough\n\nRepublocrats\nDemublicans\n\nSomethin Like That\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe fact of the matter is \nthat America as we know it (or knew it) \nis being systematically destroyed, \nand the politicians from both political parties \nare making this possible.

Duh, the Democratic Party has always had as their core social issues. Sorry it had to be generalized but it is true. The basic party platform is to use funding of government, not on military and big business, but on social programs.

That's precisely who I would WANT the Democrats to put on their ticket!  ; )\n\nBring 'em on!  I think we can take 'em!\n\nEDIT - I am a REPUBLICAN and would WANT to go against those two - VERY beatable!

Sure the democrats are smarter than the republicans, but I would like to suggest anyone be an independent thinker instead of a party member. Each party has its pros and cons.

CenterLine.  I know it's lame, but it's all I've got.  Wait...if Republicans are red, and Democrats are blue, it would follow that somewhere in the middle is the color purple.  You could call yourself a Grape.\nIf nobody else answers, would you make me your best answer for the points?  I'm sorry I don't have anything better.

Gay Marriage and flag burning...the usual ones that the GOP brings to the ballot box to help their chances.  Neither of these issues means jack crap in the grand scheme of things.  Not one American would be hurt or affected by either issue.

Each party is defined by their platform or set of views.  Now not all Reps and Dems go along with the entire party platform, but they tend to agree with the majority.  Here are some of the parties views:\n\nReps: Anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage, lower taxes, smaller government, pro-big business, hawkish of defense.\n\nDems: Allow abortion, allow gay marriage, higher taxes on the upper-middle and upper class, more government programs, pro-environment, dovish on defense.\n\nThese are just a few of the stereotypical views...each Rep and Dem have their own views that may or may no fall in line with the party platform.  Basically, Reps are the "traditional family values, strong military, capitalistic" party and Dems are the "social equality, environmentally friendly" party.

The Republican Party has never really meant it when they talk about less intrusion into people's personal lives-- they still want to control people's behavior in the bedroom, preach what religious doctrines we should have, and prevent us from using recreational drugs that are less harmful than alcohol.  They have profited from their pseudolibertarian talk, but you can't fool the American people forever.

Neither, I think the line is somewhere in between all of the party's ideas.  But, there is something I want to say...Republican, Democrat, or whatever you are, we should support our President and his decisions.  Even if we don't agree, we as a whole United States voted for him.  Now that he's in term, it's not about ourselves as singles-it's about us as a United States.
