Are the Democrats as confident as they want people to believe?

They are more desperate then they want people to think.

They will never accept reality, there will always be at least 20% that will support Bush no matter what he does and they will find a way to blame it on Clinton's penis.\n\nThe Republicans in congress are ALMOST as low as Bush. 36%\n\n\nUnlike the poster below me, I have a source for that claim.\n\n\n\n\nWASHINGTON - In an ominous election-year sign for Republicans, Americans are leaning sharply toward giving Democrats control of Congress, an AP-Ipsos poll finds. Democrats are favored 49 percent to 36 percent.

Absolutely not. I have no confidence in a candidate whose political beliefs and campaign initiatives are determined by pollsters and focus groups. Hilary's core values seem to change direction according to whichever way the political winds are blowing at the time. If the Democrats want to regain the White House in 2008, they better come up with a candidate who actually BELIEVES in something.\n\nP.S. I'm casting my vote for Marianne because, as her green hair suggests, she actually BELIEVES in something. ;)

had we known that the "supposed inteligence" collected and presented was BS, No.\nAsk the Republicans and the Democrats in both houses whom Voted Yes, overwelmingly. \nNow, they would tell you the same thing, (if they are not busy playing "footsies" with each other One More Time).

LMAO\n\nThat brings up an idea:   supposedly democrats are doing well in the mid-term elections, and yet they are hiding from their liberal media friends.  Shouldn't they be excited and celebrating?  If they hide when things go well, imagine what they will do if they regain power and things go BAD? \n\nI fear for our safety with Pelosi in power.

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.

yes, but only for those who are willing to help themselves.\n\npeople that rely on others all the time are known as democrats

He is winning the Democrats over.   They trust him more than they do Harry Reid.\nThe Democrats are ready to surrender.

I honestly keep pinching myself to make sure that it is all true. I now fully expect the Democrats to carry on in the vein they have started. \n\nThe contempt with which they describe the administration's policy in Iraq is to be seen to be believed. I expect investigations into all the ambiquous actions of the administration and I expect some of these security, sorry, freedom restricting legislation to be repealed.

The current administration has no interest in what the average American thinks, wants or needs.  That was apparent from the beginning.  But there were plenty of Americans who supported them (Bush and his cronies) then.... and even now.\n\nIn January the democrats will finally be able to have their voices heard.  Do I think the Democrats have all of the answers?    NO.....but at least they represent, in part a large portion of the American public that was opposed to this war in Iraq and was not brain washed by Bushes propaganda.

The Democrats, prior to Reagan and all the monsters he spawned, were always the party of National Defense.  That is, when conflict is unavoidable.  Democrats are reasonable.  We don't shoot off our mouths like street punks and invade other countries in wars of aggression or thinly disguised coups for more oil.  What the Republicans have done in the past 6 years, has set this nation back 20 years, but after we clean up their mess, yes, we'll be a lot safer.

Yeah, like when Kerry was going to Beat Bush? Democrats are loud mouths that participate in polls that mean DICK!\n\nThe real voters have values, work for a living and understand personal responsibility.\n\nThe democratic base is so illiterate that they can't read the ballot....maybe if it were pictures, they would have a chance.

I think its a toss-up really.  They always endorse democrats.  We are always astonished by the lengths they will go to to do this.  Perhaps the passage of time makes us a little numb to the tactics of two years ago, or four or six or eight for that matter.  But I do not see any more anxiety this time around.

Either that or they weren't in control in the 1st place. I think the latter is just a little more believable, though I'm sure there will be plenty of Libs who believe the former.

The idea that the media is liberal biased is obsolete and no longer true. The media today is very controlled by the right.\n\nCase in point, your question. There have been a lot of things the new Democratic party are promising that are great for the country and very centrist... but are we seeing this stuff on the news? No.\n\nI had to do some private research to find some of them... for example, the Democratic party has vowed to surrender its liberal agenda due to what they believe was a cry from our nation with the last election to be more moderate and in the middle.\n\nAlso, they don't want to hear anything positive about the Democratic party. I think a lot of them are still sulking about losing the majority in both the House and Senate. So right now, they just want to live in this fantasy world of how they were so right, how America just messed up and how the world will now go straight to hell. Seriously... do you see any of them at all saying, 'ok you have the majority now, let's work together?" No. Instead all  you see is most of them saying you can't trust a Democrat's promise even before the Democrats officially have a the majority and have a chance to do anything.\n\nYou see, there  are two guarantees with a Republican... they never give credit where credit is due and they never admit they might have been wrong.

The question is.Is their anyone we can trust.They all say what they think we want to hear and then do something else.With Hillary myself hummm....

I think even the Republicans are starting to see that.  Many won't admit it to a Liberal Democrat, but they see it.  Last nights election was a reflection of that.  Maybe some day the kool aid will run dry and all will see the light.
