Yes, most Americans are tired of extremist politics.

I'm with you... this is ridiculous... this clown show has gone on long enough and I think America is sick of it... Repubs were still playing the patriotism card in 04 and barely beat Kerry... you don't have enough juice left in that one anymore and it's time to stop hiding behind excuses for your actions...

People against Bush are tired of the Neo-cons lying their way into power, eating the country from the inside out, and making what was once the gleaming gem nation of the world a third-world joke.\n\nWe are tired of watching our children's life blood and our nation's economic health being poured out in the name of bringing our style of freedom to a country who could care less whether or not they have it -- a country who will throw it away when we leave before the last plane lands back here.  We feel that while Sadam was a bad guy, he was not worth the life of a single US soldier, let alone 3000.\n\nWe are tired of the most powerful man in the world being someone who was never elected, who outed a covert CIA agent in a time of war and who is more worried about the profits of Haliburton than whether or not the United States will still stand in 50 years.  (Yeah, I know Shrub got some votes, I'm now talking about Karl Rove, the puppetmaster who has his hand up the dummy's back).\n\nWe are tired of an Austrailan who stands to make more money if America goes down (Rupert Murdoch) controlling the minds of the half of the population with an IQ below 100 with his Fox News liars.\n\nBush is the symptom of a horrible, disfiguring disease that this country has contracted.  In 100 years, assuming that people still have the intelligence to read, historians will wonder what the heck we were thinking electing a moron to the highest office in the land.\n\nOf course, I'm sugar coating my real opinion.

Finally someone gets it. The left wing nuts are losing their minds this week. It is the same old tired rhetoric from the left and no new ideas. I would like to see us Conservatives get more on offense and stay on top of them. When asked for real solutions the left always reverts back to their empty talking points. Keep fighting the good fight!

Look at the '04 Presidential election and tell me the Reps didn't.\nA lot of folks are just sick of Republican rule.

You people of the great UK are right on target with what you are thinking. We have alot of the blind leading the blind in the Conservative party. It's a brainwashing for about 33% of them that still support the actions of this Administration. We have right winged Conservatives on Yahoo right now as we speak that are policing this site for their own benefits. Nevertheless it matters none. America is sick of their abuse and will vote them out of office starting in November of this year. The Republicans are really working hard to maintain their position in office of the Senate and House of Representatives. The President doesn't have any hope, for what he has done to America in the last 6 years.

It seems to me so, they seek defeat rather than look for victory.  You can see it in their speeches and their post.  They would rather have a loss no matter what the damage to our intenational immage might be.  It is plain and simple when the going gets tough, their motto is to quit.  And unfortunatly that is what our enemies are counting on and it seems the libs are bound and determined to deliver.

It is obvious the United States is winning, but the problem is that doesn't suit the leftist (Democrats) in this country.  They want to scare the American public into thinking we are losing and bring up ever road side bomb as evidence.  \n\nWhen was the last time you heard of a terrorist training camp?  Yeah they don't have those any more.  \n\nWhen was the last time the "insurgents" occupied any territory.  The answe is Falluja last year and they held it for less then 2 weeks when we went in and took it back.  \n\nWhen was the last time they hit America?  9/11 and none since then.  \n\nYes we are winning.  It just doesn't fit into the political scheme of the media or the left to say so.

No.\n\nRepubs are on the way out because people have finally figured out that they have nothing to offer the vast majority of Americans.

To me it seems that right is more angry as whole. There may be some moderates that have common sense and are thinking about is good for the nation, but overall I feel that the right is more angry than the left. \n \n There should be anger at this administration and it spin machine. This machine has gotten us into a unnecessary war in Iraq that has took away resources to finish a necessary war in Afghanistan. \n \n To be fair, the left is pretty wishy washy and doesn't stand for much. It seems like they are just against everything the republicans are for. This why the country will never move forward until there is a second party,since the Dem's and the republicans are the same party.  \n\n So in response to your question, I believe that the left and the right are the same party. So all of the battle between them are just smoke and mirrors design to keep focus away from the fact that the country is really run by big business. Isn't capitalism grand?

should they? clearly\n\nwill they? they have been proudly moving farther and farther out, proclaiming that anyone who stands against them is a "terrorist liberal"... I really don't see any move to moderation in the future with this attitude...\n\nI think the democrats did in the last election... not all but many who won... and that's why they won... and I don't really see any third party with the clout to make anything really happen... but who knows... we could all be surprised...

Because moderates have a sense of humor??

Well, it should not be seen in terms of "blue" or "red" -really, if you look at an actual demographic map (such as the one Time magazine recently printed) it's in various shades of purple for the most part.  Essentially, it was a generalization, and, like most (if not all) it is false.\n\nThis is more of a backlash against the GOP for a) taking their base for granted, b) failing to do anything of significance for the past two years, and c) an attempt to register annoyance with how the President's run things since his reelection.\n\nThe Democrats won, no question.  But before the more liberal among us celebrate, I would point out that the way the Democrats won was, by and large, running candidates which appeal to moderates and conservatives, instead of more decidedly left-leaning candidates.  And, going back to demographics for a moment, the overall trend is an increase in the number of people at all levels identifying themselves as conservative (but not necessarily Republican).  What it means is that the Democrats have had to move to the right in order to win, and strike a more moderate tone.\n\nPersonally, I think they've needed to do this for quite some time.  But if they try and promote decidedly left-of-center policies now, I don't think the result will be what some seem to expect.  I think moderation is returning to politics, and hopefully, civility will not be far behind.

Amen!! I really can't stand to see partisan whining from either side - they're both greedy and corrupt. Most Americans are pretty moderate, myself included, and while I'm not overly thrilled with the way the election turned out, I'm certainly willing to give the newly elected the benefit of the doubt. I won't be whining about voter fraud or any of that crap. It's over - accept it with grace, fellow Republicans. And Democrats with any amount of class will be graceful about their gains.\n\nHere's to the American people!

Still some around here. Do try and not be TOO stupid, what passed for moderates in the last election are just tools of the far left. The Dems trotted out psuedo-moderates to get the Socialist left into positions of leadership. Pelosi as Speaker and 3rd in line to the Presidency? COME ON, a real moderate victory there...and Murtha, Chair of the Armed Services Committee. I'm a retired Marine, and my son is currently an active duty Marine in Iraq. To think that this guy, who has broken faith with his former brothers in the Corps, will control the purse strings that provide the things that keep our troops out of body bags in Iraq (little things like body armor etc...) until we can get out of there gives me more than a moment of pause. Yeah, you go ahead and believe that tripe buddy, the moderates did not win a damn thing.

I have a tendency to think right now that the democrats are just flexing their new found muscles.The New York Times this morning was all talk about how the democrats were only in a hurry about getting the Iraqi war situation in hand and establishing a withdrawal date.\nPolitics are all about compromise,both party's do it all the time.Neither will get all of what they want,its a trade off.There were a lot of moderate Democrats that were elected,not all are of the "lets give away the farm"attitude.\nI keep saying that each side of this issue are getting in too big a hurry to claim victory.After all what have the pro illegals won,yet? Nothing,the anti war /anti Bush faction won.I personally will take a wait and see stance on this.\nTime will tell the whole story.In the mean time,I'm contacting my states government,and this nations government officials and letting them know my views on immigration.The fights not over,its only just started.\nNo to blanket amnesty,\nsecure our borders
