because the president didnt listen to the people that are telling him that this is a losing battle yesterday on the abc, cbs, and nbc news, a story appeared about how bush was told, by his own hand picked generals, that the war is going badly, and he immeditaly went in to a prees conference and said the exact oppisit. bush is a perenial liar he should be shot. republicans have no one else to blame for this fiasco but themselves

Will the mainstream press characterize the shift in power as the "voters having a temper tantrum" as they did back in 1994?\n\nWill the looney left finally admit that the GOP hasn't been stealing elections and that the Dems really have been losing elections the last 12 years?

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.

Yes, the partisan rantings will subside...but only briefly. Once the candidates for 2008 start to chime in, then it will start all over again!

I hope you are right.   There's a lot of news coverage on the new people in politics who are willing to go after what's really important.  But how long will it take for the damage the Republicans have caused to be over.

After all the crap that the cons and Republicans on here and in and around the Whitehouse, have thrown at the Dems over  the last six years.. let us have a couple hours of being just like you were.. then we'll settle down.. I promise....

ooooOOoooh Doggies!\n\nThis is a good one. The problem is, they cannot support this effort in any of its forms as its success means their assured failure in the next election.  This war was initiated during a Republican administration. Democrats (liberals) have lost so much power in the course of the last 6 years that they cannot afford to do do anything but counter the momentum that GW has created. Its true the momentum has slowed, and GW has only himself to blame for not rallying more popular support for his programs. The media has never done a conservative any favors and socialist, communist and other left-wing groups have done a pretty good job of pumping out anti American, anti semite, anti capatalist propaganda.

Well of course.  Aside from basing the whole enterprise on a combination of false pretenses and a misunderstanding of the implications of our actions, they've made a very big deal about implying that anyone who suggests that they're wrong or that the intended solution is impossible, is "defeatist", or "doesn't support the troops", or "wants the terrorists to win."  So now they're stuck: they HAVE to keep selling a positive message, regardless of the reality--otherwise they'd be guilty of the same things they've accused their opponents of for 3+ years. \n\nFrankly I hope their optimism is borne out, and that in spite of their amazing incompetence everything works out--the alternative is pretty dreadful.  At the same time, why do I keep humming "Waist deep in the big muddy, and the big fool said 'push on'..."?

The truth has been spoken here tonight by you, my friend.  Indeed, had the Republicans won we would hear nothing but outcries about the Diebold machines and the like.  Seems Reps can handle defeat in a respectful way, but when Dems lose its lawsuits and conspiracy theories galore!  What a world

it says that our current government is doing a bad job governing the country as a whole. It's just that simple believe it or not. \n\nSometimes it gets so bad that partisanship doesn't even matter anymore and voters from other parties will vote for candidates other than their own.

Lost cause. It will never be united. However, a civil war is impossible too. Most liberals don't even have the balls to bring up the FACT that the republicans have been literally stealing (yes, there's a reason CONservatives have been adamantly opposed to paper ballots) the elections. \n\nDemocracy is eroding and many people just don't care. Those losing their jobs, health care, etc, still haven't figured out who the right people are to vote for, much less how to participate in a civil war. \n\nNice thought though

Nope, and they won't, as long as they run morons like Kerry, Americans in general are very intelligent, and as long as the democrats, keep putting up  morons, without a smart agenda, they will continue to lose. but the real loser is America. As long as we have politictions that are more worried about their careers than what is good for America. We all lose.

Actually you are going to break your arm patting them on the back.  The Republicans lost it, the Democrats did nothing and I don't expect them to do anything to be able to keep it before their two years are up.

Look, the Bush people already know they screwed the pooch in Iraq, so their only hope is to run down the clock and handoff to what will inevitably be a Democratic president. That president will have no choice but to extricate him/herself from the steaming pile of dung left in Baghdad.\n\nThen, the GOP will re-write history (in their usual, creepy Orwellian way) and it will forever be re-told as the Dems losing Iraq, thus insuring that Repubs keep possession of the (American) flag.\n\nI am just cynical or what?
958469
They will realize it the same time the democrats realize President Bush is not running and stop attacking him.  \n\n\nDouble standards are a motherfu$$er

Well said. Republicans had their chance and blew it. Greed and political expediency overcame good government. Now they lost credibility with not only the entire world, but with voters as well.  Funny and scary thing is that they still dont understand that what they were doing was wrong.
