No, if it had we would have pulled out of Iraq. Typical democrats though, always pulling out before the job is done. Makes me wonder how they ever managed to have children.

As it happens, the question you pose happens to be the case right now.  The Republicans currently control both of those Branches (some would argue that they control all three).  In the current case, it appears that a weak legislature of the same Party as the President tends to act as rubber stamp for the Executive.  In times past,  the Congress has taken its role in the scheme of "Checks and Balances" more seriously.  Part of the answer to this question depends on your view of the performance of the party in power. Personally, I don't think things are going particularly well - you may have another view.

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.

Impeachment, I seriously doubt the democrats are going to make that blunder. Maybe a new way of looking at things should be...if the republicans block everything the democrats do try to accomplish, will this hurt them even further next election? The democrats already have plans in the works. If America agrees with their proposals the republicans would be cutting their own throats by defeating the bills. Someone in the republican party needs to wake up and realize you guys are no longer in the cat-bird seat. The republicans are now the bad guys. Obstruction politics will not help their cause. A little bi-partisanship may help their cause.

They have not worked with the Democratic Party since they took over in 1994. Think how they shut the government down twice , the whole whitewater investigation that led to an attempt to impeach President Clinton. It goes on and on of how they stuck to their agenda with no regard to the Democrats. Now that the Democrats are in power they are going all mansy pansy they should immediately launch investigations into this most corrupt of administration's doings for the last six years.

It would be political suicide for the dems to defund the war.\n\nThey will have to compromise.  Remember, the new dems tend to be more to the center, not the left.  I think they are already saying they cannot impeach Mr. Bush, and they cannot just "cut n run."\n\nLet's hope they keep their senses about them.

Not a viable one. It's been tried. The Democrats and Republicans have the game locked up.

It all depends...you have to look at not only who was president, but also who was in control of the House and Senate over that period of time.  From 1948 to 1994, the Democrats controlled Congress...does that mean they were responsible?  Not entirely.  The Republicans held the presidency for 32 of those 56 years...does that mean they were responsible?  Again, you have to look at the entire picture.  They're both responsible.

The GOP may run his brother. But after this drubbing, if the democrats can find a decent candidate, they should easily take the White House. That is if they can avoid shooting themselves in the foot like the GOP did in the last few months!

There's not exactly complete control by the Republican party.  And we've had long runs with the Dems at other points in history... in fact, the Democrats had twenty years (1933-1953) of executive control with F.D.R. and then Truman.  And we did alright.  ;)  In any case, these are elected officials, so if things go sour for a considerable amount of time, the American people will demand a change.  That is a check in and of itself.

the democrats will help Bush get what he wanted, amnesty for illegal aliens, They will not fund the border fence, so even though\nit's approved, there won't be money to build it,\nThe democrats and Bush will be happy.

They can. What they really want is a 27% flat tax. 57% if the're Democrats.

Unfortunately no, they still control the judicial branch and the executive branch.

Hitler would embrace the Democrats and their way of thinking. He would be voted in as the next Democrat President.
