I'm really concerned about the Dems taking control of Congress.  Should I be?

The Democrats will give the following:\n\nLack of secure borders and illegal immigration control\nEnglish as one of many language for this country\nIllegal aliens amnesty\nAnd reinstatement of the draft.....\n\nOHHH they are going to do wonders for this Country.....yea, right!!!

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.

I agree just for the checks and balances it would be important to have a democratic congress. It has been a free ride for Mr. Bush and that is why he is getting away with so much.

They are cruising (for pages) - maybe bruising. But I think they should win and will win tomorrow.  I'm not republican.  I want them to win so they do not blame Dems for 'war' or its solution.

The Democrats don't take control of congress until Jan. '07. I would think that you would have to give responsibility for the economy to the Republicans for at least six months after that.

Democrats are going to betray some one.  Will it be the New Democrats?\nOr will it be their commie welfare base?\nThis will be fun.\nBoth Iran and Al Qaeda say the Democrats owe them for helping them take over Congress.\nIllegals say the Democrats owe them.

Yes. But Karl has not gotten thing quite correct lately.  I wonder if the Democrats taking over congress was his "suprise"?

You're obviously very worried about the future of the US, and I think your concern is wellfounded.  The key potential danger posed by the actions of the Bush regime has to do with its threat to the "balance of powers" within the US constitutional system.  The idea touted by the Bushies that the Executive branch can do whatever it deems necessary to defend the country from terrorism, without *any* oversight by or accountability to the Legislative or Judicial branches, is a direct assault on a fundamental underpinning of the freedoms we all hold dear.  \n\nThe key to the future of the country is the 2006 elections.  If the Republicans are able to hold on to the power they have now, they will be able to cement that hold by gaming the system beyond recovery, and ordinary working folk will be steamrolled by powerful economic interests.  If they lose some of that power, we may yet be able to salvage our democracy.\n\nMy suggestion to you is that you register to vote, and get as many of your friends to do so as possible.

You are not In Charge of anything. You also apparently haven't been paying attention to the new party leadership. They made it very clear(last week), that there will be NO IMPEACHMENT.

give it a few days then reality will sink in for both...something about reality is very sobering. the rep's will have to face it that their time is going to get much more difficult and the dem's will have to fact it that they have to come up with some plan other than the 'i hate bush' plan.

The Democrats will be the straw that broke the camels back. They seemly don't care about our country at all. It's all about keeping their jobs. High paying jobs at the expense of the rest of us. They don't care how they keep these jobs. They've brainwashed most of the people who vote for them into believing they really care. It's tragic. The terrorists wont destroy the United States. They don't have to. The people of this country are doing a fine job all on their own. Enjoy what you have. For someday it will be gone.

Yes, I would. Yes, I have. \n\nYes, I have more to say ... your congressional representatives are there to serve you. They want to know how you feel about issues. They can't and don't vote in a vacuum. They are also great sources of help when you are having a problem with a government agency.

I pray they do.  I'm terrified to think liberal will be in charge of this country.

I am dreading the coming few years. I was trying to save to finally purchase a home instead fo keeping on renting, but I will be in a crazy tax bracket this coming year and having the dems will most likely kill that dream for a few more years.

I don't know where you are living, maybe Iraq or Darfur or something. America doesn't have any problems like that. The present Government is just full of criminals right now. They will be dealt with Democratically. The Congress will change in November just watch. The Republicans have had their run since 96 in Congress, and they messed it all up. It's their failure.
