How are the Rebubs taking the fact that Dems have the House AND the Senate?

They won't admit that because they would have to think beyond the left-right paradigm they have been fed their whole life.  But, to be fair Democrats won't admit it either, because the sad truth is we have one party, the Republocrats, that put on a show for the voters to keep them from realizing they live in a Corporatocracy.

Acute has it backwards, though these days it seems like she is correct.  Repulicans believe in sink or swim, democrats believe in giving you a life boat.  Unfortunately, their idea of a lifeboat is a hundred-foot luxury liner with a freakin' helipad on the poop deck.\n\nAlso, the size of their contributors wallets.

The VP is a tiebreaker and since it is DeadEyeDick, a tie goes to the party in power.\n\nWith the Dems taking 51%, if it goes right down party lines, the Dems win (unless Liebermann shifts sides, then it goes back to the GOP)

GASP! A question actually backed with legitimate facts!?\n\nBecause they see that the people of the US are not happy. Not all people, but their Democratic constituency. And because the Republicans are in majority, it is much easier for the Dems to just point fingers, in an attempt to regain control of the Government. It is much easier to condemn than to defend...

Dems will control the House, by about 5 seats.   Republicans the Senate by one or two seats.\n\nCheck my prediction on Wednesday.

The democrats have never never had total control like the republicans. A republican congress, senate, and president. Has only been under the President Bush. When President Clinton was in office. The house and senate was controlled by the republicans. There had always been a balance or what some like to call a gridlock. Until President BUSH \nWE have seen what six years under a majority republican rule is like. Maybe we might see what 8 years under a democrat rule is like. But I like everything else I believe we need balance. \nIron is good for you but to much of it can lead to overdose. Think the same applies to the political parties.

I really think that the terrorists are hoping for democrats to take over the U.S. House and the U.S. Senate.  The terrorists know that the dems are weak on defending this nation and that they will have a better opportunity of striking us again on U.S. soil.\n\nIt's a sad pathetic day when partisan rhetoric takes precedence over the best interests of our nation.

Reublican's are just leaning on the fact that they are strong on national security issues. National Security has been carrying the Repiblican party since 9/11 and will continue to do so until the Democrats come up with some real ideas other than Bush is wrong. They keep running on this platform and they keep loosing elections.

I don;t know if they will learn much...They have been this way for awhile. But now there can be a bit of a check and balance with the House...and hopefully in the Senate. Now the Dems. just have to get some stuff done and stick to what the have promised. The Presidential election in 08' has a lot riding on how the Dems do now. I love politics!!!

Castrated? The Dems have a slim majority in both houses. That hardly sounds like castration. The Dems better really try to work with the Reps and vice versa. We're watching closely.

Very interesting point.  The only reason dems got control was because of the blue-dog conservative democrats who were elected this time around.  America hasn't gone less conservative...only less republican.  Now, the dem leadership isn't taking the hint.  Instead, they're reeling to the left once again.  Should be interesting.  I personally think it will open the door for a sweeping Repub victory in '08 - if they get back to their conservative roots.  Great point.

There's only 2 senators per state, and they are part of the "senate".\nThe others' numbers are determined by population, and they vote in the House of Representatives.\nThe senators are a little higher on the ladder.

They don't Repubs and Dems agree on that at least.

Last time I checked the Democrats are not in charge. There is actually a balance now, before the republicans controlled everything and were "in charge."
