Does it bother anyone but me that Al-Queda and terrosists in general are REALLY happy about the Dems winning?

how about some evidence to that remark...this question is right out of O'Reilly's handbook...start with a falsehood that supports your position and form a question around it.  \n\nI don't think they care...and as a matter of fact, we may be stronger with both political parties in compromise and showing a unified front to them...your comments and those like them help the enemy more than any constructive political dissent and compromise.\n\nAs far as Al Queda supporting Democrats, it's rediculous and just propaganda on their part...it appears you would believe a terrorist above a Democrat...You're letting the nuts win...we are in this together....The Democrats have some in their ranks that want to leave Iraq...I want to BE ABLE TO LEAVE IRAQ...we can't reduce America in response to terrorism by abandoning the rule of law.  I voted Democrat because of the President's excesses, not because I wanted to leave Iraq tomorrow...it also seemed that the Admin. was doing nothing to reduce our dependence on foreign oil and only had complete military victory in Iraq (a government modeled after ours and pro-west) as a way out of this...The President seems single minded and by that I mean simplistic without using other fronts to insulate us like alternative energy and conservation...He is a Military Capitalist and cannot think outside of that box without real cooperation and dissent from opposing parties...he has to be made to listen to other ideas.

Yes the Democrats winning a majority in the House of Representatives, and possibly winning the Senate majority is a clear sign that the public is quite disgruntled with many of the domestic and foreign policies of the GOP. Only deluded Republican diehard loyalists would try to spin this any other way. \n\nThe Republican Party, quite frankly, has no legitimate excuse for failing this time around. They controlled both houses of Congress, and have one of their own in the executive branch, and they had almost free reign after the 9/11 tragedy to enact legislation with little opposition. Yet with all of this going for them, they were surprisingly ineffective, and did more to serve special interest groups, in their domestic and foreign policy making, than satisfy those who were instrumental in getting them into power in the first place. \n\nWhat the election results demonstrated is that the American people, as lackadaisical as they are, will only tolerate betrayal, unresponsiveness, and empty promises for so long. Kudos to the electorate for having the gumption to call the GOP to account for their duplicity and incompetence.

I swear it looks like some of them are.  I mean those of us who are liberal democrats can't say much either.  We've sure had our moments too.

The reaction is just as many of us predicted. Al-Queda in Iraq is now claiming they are winning the war because of the democrat victory. Iran will now step up it's own rhetoric. People we are in for a bumpy ride. Are the democrats up for this challenge? Think of Murtha, Kerry, Clinton and Kennedy.....do they inspire trust with you in the realm of National Security?

Ha Ha Ha, that was beautiful Dal. We think that G. "DUBYA" is lining his and his buddies pockets, at our expense that our view.\n\nI had to edit we know he is.

Some people feel like the Republicans have not lived up to their core ideals, or for that matter, their promises.\nAlso, because the Republicans have been in complete power for quite a while now, they are the target of discontent in our country.\n\nMany people who are being hurt by globalism and a lack of quality/affordable healthcare are angry, and who else can they see to blame? Republicans hold the congress nd the white house, so who else are they going to hold accountable?\n\nThere was a time when Republicans did not approve of running a huge deficit (which is happening now), wanted the government to stay out of religion (even Pat Robertson was leery of the faith-based initiatives), and expected their politicians to do the right thing (unlike all of the folks linked to Abramof, Foley, and others).\n\nPerhaps many people have realized that the Republicans have become drunk on power, and that they needed to be reminded that their followers are not sheep.\n\nThat being said, the same might easily happen to the Democrats once they are in power for a long time. \n\nAnd sad as it is, both sides have been doing name-calling and hurtful chants for quite some time now----you just notice them more when you are on the losing side.

Oh I just laugh at how they think we killed Zarqawi months ago and froze him so that we could announce his death at the time that it was best for us. Or how we have Bin Laden in a cage and we're waiting for the perfect time to say that we caught him. Or how Bush stole the election. Funny, do democrats still say all of this stuff when a Democrat is in office? I think the answer is obvious.

should they? clearly\n\nwill they? they have been proudly moving farther and farther out, proclaiming that anyone who stands against them is a "terrorist liberal"... I really don't see any move to moderation in the future with this attitude...\n\nI think the democrats did in the last election... not all but many who won... and that's why they won... and I don't really see any third party with the clout to make anything really happen... but who knows... we could all be surprised...

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.

If I were a terrorist, I, too, would be emboldened by the vote. \n\nGWBush and the majority of Republicans have made their objectives clear - unfortunately, the Democrats have wavered continuously between early withdrawal and outright cut and run.\n\nIraq is the center of the war on terror - all the Muslim nations know this and the terrorists know this - why don't we know this?

They got a "thumpin' ".\n\nBut seriously, it's not all Republicans ... and second, we Democrats have had our bitter moments too.  (The 2000 election, in particular, was a brutal pill.)\n\nPeople have to remember that part of being in a democracy is that sometimes your guy loses.  It's the ability to say "we lost this time, but THAT'S OKAY" that distinguishes a democracy from, say, the Sunnis vs. Shiites ... where the majority assumes that its role is to begin oppressing the minority, and the minorty assumes that its role it to try and overthrow the majority by force.\n\nAnd when you are the majority, you need to govern with the knowledge that *someday you will be the minority again.*  So you need to treat the minority with the same respect you hope to get in return someday.  I look at Karl Rove, Tom DeLay, Trent Lott, Dennis Hastert, etc. and say, they forgot got that.\n\nI.e. they are bitter because they are expecting us to behave like just as big a group of a**holes as they were.  \n\nI personally hope we prove them wrong.

It is, and it is sad. The terrorists know that they are off the hook now. Democrats are far more interested in prosecuting those who engaged in the war on terror, than actually engaging terrorists. remember clinton had 8 chances to kill bin laden, and chose not to too. Out of fear of the innocent civilian casualties, well, on 9-11 we had those civilian casualties, and they were ours. \n \nDemocrats find it impossible to define terrorism, let alone fight a war against it. they would rather apologize to the global community, and seek reparations for those poor terrorists, er i mean freedom fighters whom those mean neo-cons fought a war against.\n\neven one of the democrats elected is a muslim,  great win for the terrorists, especially since he is endorsed by CAIR, an organization with strong ties to Hamas and Palestinian terror organizations, and their support for sami al arian. and a strong dislike for billboards casting bin laden in a bad light.\n\nIn their headlong uneducated rush to end the war on terror, the democrats will end up prolonging the war, giving comfort and aid to our enemies, and putting those few people in the world, who were most capable of eliminating terrorists, behind bars. this is a dark day for democracy, and world peace.\n\nwhere will the alqaeda democrat victory rallies be held? just wait for the fireworks. atleast we gave it a shot. now our children will pay for our failure to finish the job. democrats have turned back the clock to september 10th. Terrorists, will arm, train, and finance, just as they did under the clinton administration, under our noses, and anyone who raises an eyebrow of suspicion, will be called a racist for profiling that poor immigrant, working to get his pilots license and worship his god the way he sees fit.\n\nGod Help us, Europe has already lost the battle, We now have Eurabia. We are next for dhimmitude.

CHEATING?\n\nOK, I didn't have read much of the article before I knew I didn't have go any further.  There's a big flaw in this argument, the DEMS do it too!\n\nThat's right, when a Republican voter comes to the table, Democrats scrutinize in the same way.  It's a two-sided game that's been going on for decades.  This is nothing new.  Many Republicans after losses in the past complained about the same thing.  He said, She said.  That's all it is.\n\nRemember, you have democrats that target a specific voting pool, going out on election day and rounding as many black, hispanic, and poor americans as they can to vote against the Republican nominee.  Now, I didn't read the rest of that article, but does it mention both sides of the issue?  I'd be surprised if you ever got a "fair and balanced" report out of that mag about anything...

Very happy, if we also win the Senate, I'll be elated...\nHey Bush,"Do you hear us now!?"
820859
No, but it does bother me that the terrorists are happy about it.

I think it's already causing good things to happen......Rumsfeld's gone and Bush has been put on a leash.  I think the Dems will accomplish a great deal for the American people as well as the rest of the world.
