Just to play devil's advocate, what would REALLY happen if the Democrats won back the House in 2008?
President Bush would still be president and would still be able to veto any bill that did not pass his muster.
The RINO Senate would probably moderate any extremism from the House.
The GOP will be sent a lesson that ignoring the conservative wing means loss of power, just as much as ignoring moderates.
The Democrats will have lost a campaign issue for 2008 when they would try to argue that a GOP-led Congress is leading us down the road to ruin.
The mainstream would get a quick reminder, just in time for 2008, what unstable kookballs now run the Democrat party.
While nobody wants Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers or Alcee Hastings running the House, a quick taste of what it looks like might be the very BEST thing that could happen to reawaken the conservative base and drive them to the polls in record numbers.
Oops. Major correction here.
The RINO Senate would probably moderate any extremism from the House. RINO's are not doing a decent job now. I doubt things would improve if Repbulicans lost some seats.
The GOP will be sent a lesson that ignoring the conservative wing means loss of power, just as much as ignoring moderates. Awful tough lesson to learn. What if democratic success carried through to 2008? Can you say President Hillary?????
The Democrats will have lost a campaign issue for 2008 when they would try to argue that a GOP-led Congress is leading us down the road to ruin. Now that could happen. After all, Americans usually blame the ruling party.
The mainstream would get a quick reminder, just in time for 2008, what unstable kookballs now run the Democrat party. Yeah, like the mainstream would ever learn (or even admit) that kookballs are runnig the democratic party. While nobody wants Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers or Alcee Hastings running the House, a quick taste of what it looks like might be the very BEST thing that could happen to reawaken the conservative base and drive them to the polls in record numbers. Again, I would worry that an '06 victory would transfer to an '08 victory.
And in a sense, it will. If Republicans can keep a majority, then that will be enough to move ahead to 2008. But if democrats win now, then......
You are advocating for a Dem takeover of the House, making it sounds as if it were no big deal.
Last time they took power, they kept it for forty years.
Trying to advocate that losing is winning is insanity.
Democrats have big plans if they take over in Congress

"Democrats will press to get out of Iraq. They'll mount investigations into the Bush administration's record that could rival those of Presidents Nixon in Watergate and Clinton in the Monica Lewinsky affair. They'll push a boatload of social-welfare legislation, such as raising the minimum wage, that reflects their pent-up priorities, while blocking the Republican agenda on social issues such as gay marriage, abortion and religion. "
Is that what you want?
It would mean the Republicans would never lose control of Congress again for 50 years starting in 2008... as long as they didn't move left.
You're not paying attention to how Congress works. For two instances, Impeachment bills and spending bills start in the House.
The moonbat Left would love to spend 2 years on Impeaching Bush. And they could cut off all spending for Iraq, forcing us to leave in disgrace. That's how we left Viet Nam.
Vetos wouldn't stop either action.
The "Comprehensive" Immigration Bill would pass
Forgive me, but you are either a troll or a fool or both. If the Dems win the House we will see nothing but investigations over the Bush administration policies about this, that or some other thing, possible impeachment proceedings, the erosion of morale in the Armed Forces, and a definite boost for all the Islamic thugs on the globe who want to kill me and mine. Thanx, but no thanx. Go peddle your tall_texan nonsense on moveon or some other Soro@ss website.
President Bush would still be president and would still be able to veto any bill that did not pass his muster. With the immediate impeachment proceedings, the government and our national focus would be swept away from the war against terrorists, not to mention the effect upon our courageous patriotic military. Your offering is a typical democrat ploy to 'give punishing the pubbies a try'.
The RINO Senate would probably moderate any extremism from the House. Allowing the democrats to take the House will toss the Senate out also because dem votes would be the majority and dems vote in block, they don't split tickets. Again, your ploy is transparently in favor of getting the nation firmly under democrat control.
The GOP will be sent a lesson that ignoring the conservative wing means loss of power, just as much as ignoring moderates. You are obviously seriously misguided to cut your nose off to spite your face ... this is an ugly, irreversible move, allowing the democrats to take control. In two years of democrat entitlements, the nation can be bankrupted in favor of democrat voting blocks like the 40 million illegals they want in this country asap for the 2008 election.
The Democrats will have lost a campaign issue for 2008 when they would try to argue that a GOP-led Congress is leading us down the road to ruin. You are blind and or ignorant to the realities if you cannot see what mischief the demcorats can create over a two year period in control of House and Senate while impeaching the President and destroying the military they despise.
The mainstream would get a quick reminder, just in time for 2008, what unstable kookballs now run the Democrat party. That assertion is proof of your sympathies since the lamestream media are already in the demcorats jockstrap bigtime! Giving them what they have worked so hard to accomplish doesn't discourage them one bit. I'm so glad you revealed your true nature in this.
While nobody wants Nancy Pelosi, John Conyers or Alcee Hastings running the House, a quick taste of what it looks like might be the very BEST thing that could happen to reawaken the conservative base and drive them to the polls in record numbers. Your suggestions aren't naive, they're insidious persuasion to suicide. Nice try.
Or, it could happen that the democrats assisted by the media would claim credit for everything good and blame everything bad on bush leading to a successful takeover of all three branches in 2008.
