Given the current political climate in America. Will republicans force they're will "no holdls barred"

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.

Absolutely not. That's when we NEED those freedoms the most.\n\nWe need to be able to say that "I don't like the way the administration is handling things" without fear of someone putting us in prision. \n\nI may not agree with someone else's opinions. But I'll fight to the death, to make sure they can state those opinions.

No one party "controls" the U.S. Senate. There are more Republicans sitting in the U.S. Senate right now than Democrats. But each of those Republicans are free agents and capable of voting against the wishes of their party leaders. Also, just because there are fewer Democrats in the Senate right now than Republicans, that doesn't mean that they have no influence over what the Senate produces.

Ever hear off Veto power everything in this country is about to be put on lock down due to party politics.  Bush wants this and the Dems want that and neither will get anything.  Every election year I realize more and more why I hate our political system.

Highly unlikely.  Many moderate Republicans feel that could end up being a political liability after the election controversy and her links to GWB.  Notice how many Republicans have been starting to distance themselves from the president?  This is in preparation for the upcoming election cycle.  They may support many of Bush's policies (or not), but they can not risk being too closely linked with an office with such low approval ratings.  \n\nHarris' name is so linked with Bush's at this point, however, that she cannot really gain any distance, making her an easy target.\n\nHope this helps!

Liberals provide some checks to the nazi like govenment that the repuglicans would like to have, it has reached a point to where a rubber stamp congress has allowed the president an almost dictatorship, it will be interesting to see if he tries to remain in power after his two terms are up. I don't think the American people would let him do that, even the repuglcans would not like that to happen. But I would not put it past him to try.

I fully agree with you. It's the republicans that have the problem. They don't want to give anybody civil liberties. The republicans will lose the house and the senate come election time. Hate to break it to the repubs but nobody wants you in control anymore. You screw it all up. \n\nDemocrats are taking america back.

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.

Before Bush a person could feel safe telling each other how they felt about a sitting President...are those days gone ? I will vote out of fear in november ...just like the Republicans want me to...Fear of their Party running my Country straight down the tubes!!!

Not as long as Republicans have the majority in the house and senate.... good ole boys protect each other no matter if they are wrong.

It is anybody's ballgame. This country is split down the middle when it comes to voters. No one is winning in a landslide next week. It will be interesting and no matter what the outcome, as a Republican I will respect the votes, win or loose. I do believe that Dem control of either house will hurt the Dem's in 08. To close a look at these people will not sit well with the majority of Americans, the fringe left will love it but they are a small % of the party.

America is currently facing many problems, however a drastic decline in it's power is doubtful.  According to most rankings that take into account all aspects of a nation, The usa is by far the most powerful, and is more powerful than the second and third most powerful countries combined.  However, if our country continues on its current trend yes there will be problems.  Our currency is depreciating, and the gap between rich and poor is growing under the current administration, and there is also talk of starting our third war in this regime.  The only reason why i think that America won't decline though is because the Republicans will have nobody else to blame after this term, and once they are voted out these problems will be addressed.  The republicans control everything now and have lost their scapegoat.  The only people they have to blame our themselves.

Nope...the real issues isn't R or D in the Congress..it is the checks and balances between the branches of government. The GOP has had the advantage and used it to force policy into law without restraint. Now the restraint is there...The Dems will and ave had the same problem when they led the Predsidents office PLUS the Congress. A blend is best. .

It depends on what you mean.\n\nSee, when the Democrats were in control, they did whatever they wanted without any concern for what the other side wanted. When the Republicans took control and tried to reach across the aisle, the Democrats filibustered so that nothing could happen.\n\nSo, based on past experience, I would not reach across the aisle. When they were in control, they made no effort to consider the "minority" opinion. I'd be happy to return the favor.\n\n.
