Why can't republicans get over the fact that the democrats now rule the house and senate?

Actually the Dims won't have control until January.  Nevertheless, I think the Repugs are still holding out hope for a martial law declaration or something like that between now and then.

The Democrats broke the Bush Dictatorship, took control of the House of Representatives and the Senate is still in question. Bush will have to be responsible for his actions now. Democracy still works with the Constitution.

because they're scared.  Their own party has tried to scare the pants out of people to get votes and they succeeded...for a while anway.  Until about a couple weeks ago when dems took control of the house and senate.  Next, the presidency!!  I'm conservative but I am also a dem.  In fact there are a lot of people like me who don't necessarily agree with republicans but aren't godless liberals like republicans say we are.

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...

Republicans can't blame anyone for what is going on but themselfs! They have full control and this is the first time in the history of the us that they do. THIS IS A FACT, Most things are voted out if a Repub does not want it. So who is to blame the repubs this is why every thing is so wrong in our country. It is time for change and I don't know who can change this but anyone would be better then who we have now. The country is a mess and who is to blme the repubs no one else!!!

They may keep the Senate -- but the House looks unlikely.\n\nHow will Republicans cry?\n\nDid you forget that the Republicans and Democrats were equal in their tenacity to control the counting of votes in Florida in 2000?  Stop trying to twist history.

The democrats are sore winners. They're snide, cocky, and arrogent. \n\nOn the other hand, most Republicans, rather than crying and claiming the election was stollen (unlike the democrats in 2000 and 2004), have become more resolved, more determined. \n\nMethinks this minor victory will result in a major loss for the donkeys in charge of the house and senate now (And yes, the democratic symbol IS a donkey)... Especially if they decide to waste time going after the president through endless investigations and impeachment.

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."

The problem is the powerful 2 party system. Democrats and Republicans muscle out "independents" and leave us with a choice between 2 entire sets of beliefs.  We're forced to pick a party that fits us even if we disagree with much of the platform.  If we could level the playing field and encourage competition, the power would shift from the major parties to the people.

Right now the republicans are using scare tactics to try and hold their position.\n" If Democrats take over, they will withdraw from the war and make every American citizen a target or terror!!!"\nGive me a break.\nRegardless the political agenda, Americans will vote by what they want from the government, not what the government wants from them, even though it may not make a difference.\nJust watch what happens, and maybe you will agree it is time to change ALL of government, not just the persons in it.

I don't know what your talking about! The problem here in America, is that America is under a one sided party rule, and a Dictatorship with George Bush. There isn't anyone to oppose them right now; because the Democrats can't pass any legislation without it being pushed down. It's all a waist of time until America wakes up and brings back a Democracy to the American people. These people that are in charge of our Government are warmongers and terrorists like Adolf Hitler was. They are even following quite a few of Hitlers ideologies with rule of the Country.

The Democrat party has come back with Conservative Democrats as I am. Corruption of the GOP has ruined their chances for quite some time with the immoral values and scandals that will have to be sorted out to bring back any trust in them. That is why the bi-partisanship vote came out November 7th, and Congress is now majority Democrat. Ultimate power corrupts, and those you have named are the victimizers of the corruption.

Because the Democrats have allowed their party to be taken over by liberal extremists and that has caused them to lose complete control of all three branches of government for the first time in a half century. When you lose power after having it for that long you tend to complain a bit. Not to say that Republicans have been innocent in the stupidity but it's mainly liberal Democrats who cause all the fuss.\n\nI guarantee that if Democrats would kick Michael Moore, Al Franken, and the like from positions of authority they would absolutely be able to regain control of the House, at least. But they won't, Democrat leaders LOVE to suck-up to liberal extremists just as much as Republicans love to suck-up to religious extremists.\n\n\nNOTE TO "Moirae" ... I'd LOVE to debate you point for point on abortion. Feel free to email me if you're interested.

screw the Democrats and Republicans.\n\nWe need regime change in this country and that INCLUDES major political parties.

I don't think you will ever see the Republican Party take any ownership of their mistakes, it's always somebody Else's. Talk about a sickness and in denial. It's going to take a new Democratic congress to get to the bottom of it all. From their dirty tricks squads, it also looks as if there is a lot to cover up, maybe too much.

Seems to me that you pretty much hit the nail on the head.  Both parties have their scandals, their morons, and their self-righteous flag-toting extremists.  It is easy to complain when you aren't held accountable for the decision, so Bush-bashing is becoming more popular than ever.  The Democrats, being liberals in most regards, also have more division within their party.  Having said that, if it was up to some of the Republicans today, we'd still have blacks as slaves and women working only for the family.  What I'm saying is, both sides have their great minds and their fools, but historically the Democratic party has been more influencial and active in promoting equality.

This was certainly America's frustration of Republicans. Had a decent moderate third party been available neither party would be in charge at the moment. However America has accepted this one party short of totalitarian government system and has only the option of giving back power to the party it fired in 1994.\n\nThe Democrats certainly have been given a gift from the gods same as the republicans in 1994. For the remainder of the Bush Administration look for them to be model citizens and solidify their power by returning back to their roots of being the party of the people. This is going to be one of the most politically active times in the beltway's history.\n\nBut should a Democrat win in 2008... expect  a lot of the same from them as we have recieved from the Republicans over the last six years.
