They are looking forward to 2008 and it's every Congressperson/Senator for themself.  It should be a very interesting two years!

Republicans will be very defensive and hurtful for the next six months or so...that's their track history during the run up to, during, and after a landslide defeat for them in elections. \n\nThe fact is that a huge majority of Americans said, by their vote, that Republicans are not only a minority of the American people, their thinking is well outside the mainstream of our society. \n\nRemember how nasty they were after Bill Clinton solidly won the presidency twice in a row? They got even nastier after GWB was awarded the presidency by the Supreme Court - trying to spin a nine-member election as the "will of the people". \n\nJust ignore the few Republicans out there who are trying to undermine our great America. Remember, their last committee (GWB and his posse) will be out for good in a couple of years, and then they'll all go away for many years to come.

You have to realize that you are dealing with the most mentally deficient of the repuglicans, everybody else has seen the light, there is only about 29% of the people that still support Bush and those are the worst of the worst. Best thing to do is challenge them like ask the hard questions like what is the name of the president. Some will even be able to answer and get it right, even though they might misspell it.

Some people feel like the Republicans have not lived up to their core ideals, or for that matter, their promises.\nAlso, because the Republicans have been in complete power for quite a while now, they are the target of discontent in our country.\n\nMany people who are being hurt by globalism and a lack of quality/affordable healthcare are angry, and who else can they see to blame? Republicans hold the congress nd the white house, so who else are they going to hold accountable?\n\nThere was a time when Republicans did not approve of running a huge deficit (which is happening now), wanted the government to stay out of religion (even Pat Robertson was leery of the faith-based initiatives), and expected their politicians to do the right thing (unlike all of the folks linked to Abramof, Foley, and others).\n\nPerhaps many people have realized that the Republicans have become drunk on power, and that they needed to be reminded that their followers are not sheep.\n\nThat being said, the same might easily happen to the Democrats once they are in power for a long time. \n\nAnd sad as it is, both sides have been doing name-calling and hurtful chants for quite some time now----you just notice them more when you are on the losing side.

Liberals will go to great lengths to avoid being cornered and made to answer for anything. They will skirt around an issure for days if they can't answer in 3 worded sentences. Well before getting into office they'd shoot their mouths off every 60 seconds about how the Bush adm is doing the war thing all wrong. Well now they are in and they will have to eat their words and it will be sweet to have them take the blame now. Except for the fact it could be the death of us.

Bush could not have gone to war without congress's approval,at the time in congress they were already counting votes and it seemed like everyone was leaning toward war with Irak,now like jellyfish most congress men and women are giving all kinds of excuses why they chose to go to war,it's a shame that everyone in Washington are playing with our soldiers lives instead of their own.

Yes - people misunderstand the fact that conservatives being angry with Bush are the reason his numbers are down - not because liberals hate him.  They have always hated him so they have had no effect on his numbers at all.\n\nThe fact that true Conservatives have felt  Bush let them down is only going to invigorate them to get the vote out so that when 08 comes around, they can put in a true conservative.\n\nBushes problem was trying to please the left which is impossible for a conservative to do.  If you look at the numbers, Bushes spending wasn't outrageous because of the war.  It was outrageous because of social programs and that infuriated the right.   He has spent more on social programs (DOE and Medicare in particular) than any other President in US history and it still wasn't enough to shut up the left.  Weak borders and  immigration amnesty just added fuel to the fire as far as conservatives were concerned. \n\nLiberals are so blind and angry as a result of the last 2 elections and the Clinton impeachment that no conservative was going to make them happy unless he resigned.\n\nThis is only the beginning of divisiveness in this country.  Thank god Reagan and Tip O'Neil are gone.  They would both be shocked and ashamed of what politics have become in such a short itme.

It's still a possibility in the US, I don't put anything past Bush and his goons. \n\nHe may be down, but not out.  Out for those bums mean death.  \n\nI'm sure as we speak they are planning their next move - who is the next most puppet-like fratboy who obeys his pappy's friends who can relate to the Republican constituents (read that redneck, inbred, trailer park, impressionable, reccessive imbeciles) without question.

Doubtfull, he is a President under fire yes, everything he does is now under closer scrutiny and he will be under a microscope for the rest of time in office. I say Doubtfull because most of the new Democrats that were elected are moderate or centrists. Nancy Pelosi will have to work in the middle or atleast lean slightly to the left to keep her party happy. \n\nDemocrats unlike Republicans will not be on a witch hunt. Yes there are Reps that have Bush in their crosshairs but they are the left of liberal. We won't see an impeachment trial if nothing else, as much as we hate Bush we hate Cheney more. \n\nFor bush to have history shed even a hint of favorable light on him he needs to work with the democrats, he can't veto things left and right. If he does he'll be pegged as a sour puss. I'm quite content with this arangement, not happy but content.

Bush never worked with his own party so I don't think his brain is going to adjust. He will maintain his "stay the course" attitude and veto everything the Dem's try. I think he should be impeached but the next to go will be Denis Hastert when the page porn investigation is completed.

I am a Democrat, and America is totally aware of how the Republicans come across in the World. Over 70% of America doesn't support them, and Congress gets voted in November of this year. The Republicans are going to be history, gone. George Bush could be indicted if the Congress is the Majority Democrat, and then impeached. I hope the World knows that America has more then one political party and will forgive us for what the Republicans have done in the last 6 years.

No, I think the tide against Bush is based on the fact that the public is not happy.  Politicians want to assure that they don't loose their cushy jobs so, if the voting public isn't happy, the politicians aren't happy.  \n\nAll fine with me...never wanted Bush in the first place and he has proven all my gut instincts about him.

No - if Congress says no, Bush, with a 34% approval rating, doesn't have the strength to fight it.

I don't know.  I get up every day and ponder the misfortune of our wonderful country at the unmerciful hands of the Bush dynasty and their oldest buffoon. \n\nHe is going to try to block the congress on every turn.\n\nI joined impeachbush.org but no one seems to be doing anything to remove the nutter from office.\n\nI think there will be a revolt in the US at a certain stage because we cannot wait 2 more years with him in office.

Keep an eye on Sen Russ Feingold (from Wisconsin I think) he stood up in Congress and BLASTED Bush, calling for his impeachment, and made a very  impressive, eloquent speech detailing the lies Bush told to Congress and the American people. \nI would love it if Congress put him out of our misery by impeaching him and sending him to be tried as the war criminal he is.

This is a dictatorship. Presidency R, House R, Senate R, Supreme Court R, = Dictator. Nobody to oppose him or their party right now. No vote from the people. The mans ratings are 30%, and in Congress it's only 35% that are really supporting president Bush. The Republicans are bailing daily on his Presidency. I look for indictments coming after the November elections. Impeachment could be imminent.
