I am a Democrat, and America is totally aware of how the Republicans come across in the World. Over 70% of America doesn't support them, and Congress gets voted in November of this year. The Republicans are going to be history, gone. George Bush could be indicted if the Congress is the Majority Democrat, and then impeached. I hope the World knows that America has more then one political party and will forgive us for what the Republicans have done in the last 6 years.

Neither. The only thing that will happen is bush will put another person who thinks like Rumsfeld in his place. There will be no change in that aspect. However, the person taking his place has to deal with a Democratic Congress, so now he needs to come up with an exit strategy. Rumsfeld didn't feel like dealing with it. That's why he "cut and ran"...

It's ending right now. If the Democrats don't take a majority in both houses as predicted, they will certainly make gains. The pendulum is starting to swing the other way. Now all the Democrats need to do is nominate a strong presidential candidate who won't let himself (or herself) be defined by the Republicans.

Not much. They don't have enough seats to override a veto, and Bush is too stubborn to try to compromise with them. They (Congress) will pass bills, and Bush will shoot them down. Bush will propose stuff to Congress, and they will kill it in committee.

It will happen near the mid term elections in November. \nThe Bush administration can not afford to lose the House of Representatives. Let's see if this ploy works.

it isn't all congress - it is cheney - he & haliburton go way back...unfortunately our government (both parties) are as corrupt as any third world country - guess the democrats think they are not getting enough of the payoffs!

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.

No...I heard of a coup attempt to overthrow Bush though. The Democrats are at it now.

democrats will take over the house and senate

No because l really think Bush will actually do a better job with the Democrats in control of Congress. While he had no checks and balances there was no reason for him to actually do any real legislating. Now he has no choice but to work with congress without having a blank check that is stamped by congress. He can either work with congress or be a lame duck.

There will be changes in the US policy.  Many Republicans will join with a majority of the Democrats to see that the policy is changed.  The Republicans do not want to go into the 2008 elections with the same mess that they went into this election.  Further, Gates will be able to solicit fair and honest assessments which Rumsfeld didn't want to hear and the military leaders were afraid to give him.  Bush will also be able to jump on ideas from the Baker Commission which I think will have proposals that Democrats can also live with.  The million dollar question is how Bush will define "victory in Iraq".  Certainly he will not just walk out without being able to declare "victory" in some fashion.  The definition will not bear any relation to the grandiose claims of the victory the Administration was proposing when Bush took us into this mess.

Yes, but it won't happen with a repuglican congress unless it looks like they are going to be voted out because of it.

Absolutely it is with George Bush and his warrant less wire tapping. I am sure they are listening in on the Democrats just like Nixon did with Watergate. The Republican party will never have enough power to shut up the American people even with all of the abuse and dirty tricks strategies. They have exposed their true agendas and America is shutting them down daily. November will be a new fruit of Democracy with a Democrat Congress, and the return of the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution.

At this point in really depends on the Democrats. If Democrats choose to honestly work for change for all Americans they will reach across the aisles to craft legislation which benefits all. If they do this the veto should not be an issue. However, if Democrats choose to go partisan and stick with a liberal agenda then yes the government will be hopelessly lost in gridlock for the next 2 years. As Mr. Bush will veto their legislation and they will not have the majority required to override.

During the Gulf War the Congress was Democratic.  Bush got bipartisan support because he had a true multi-national mandate, and a clear objective.

The war on terror will probably never come to a complete and absolute victory regardless of who is sitting in the White House.  As long as there are haters of freedom and democracy there are apt to be terrorists.  \n\nPresident Bush warned us that this was going to be a protracted war.  He wasn't lying about that.
