Now that Dems have held on to a slight majority.. a lot slighter than what Republicans had in the last house races..
I have a question: Will Democrats share power... will they appoint equals from both paries to represent the people?
I know They wanted power sharing last time Republicans won with a very clear majority.
this election was won with a 50k-100k vote margin you know
Do you have a fever?
I hope the dim wits in congress take not this time. Victory is not to be shared with the loser.
The demo craps took partisan politics to entirely new levels, and they will reap the price of their audacity.
Anybody remember MINORITY RIGHTS?
I doubt it. The GOP rarely seeks revenge. Even after the Clarence Thomas hearing, the GOP gave Ruth Bater Ginsburg an easy pass. The Dems usually escalates the battles, and the GOP is afraid to even use the same tactics the Dems just got done using on them. The GOP respects the government institutions, while the Dems sink to any level to advance their cause.
I just hope we get a Minority Leader with some testicular fortitude. Somebody like Sessions IMHO
Frist was a flop, and well deserves a share of the blame for this disaster we face..
Secondly, the Dem's engaged in some very personal attacks while in the minority. I have never seen more requests to have a congressman's words taken down.
I think you will be surprised to see the results of all this, and they have no reason to protect their now totally lamed president.
Bush, on the other hand, is quite adept at triangulating the opposition, and he will get a couple things through. After which, everything will totally shut down, and not even the budget will pass...There will be total gridlock.
Frist is not responsible for being forced to do what he did to chase the base voters...
During the process of trying to sew up a disaffected political base, he did affect and encourage the swing voter defections to the other side, but he was dealing with the reality of a screwed up constituent base, and it is not his responsibility to cure those ills. The base was completely fragmented and and lost cohesiveness, forcing him to chase groups and segments, and pissing off the rest.
All this finger pointing at leadership is nonsense.
If you want to know why we lost, and will continue to lose, just look in the mirror. The answer will be looking back at you.
Correct Always Right. The rats are talking "Congressinal Oversight." Well, we had control of it for SIX FLIPPING YEARS - did Republicans prosecute Sandy Burglar? (Can you imagine what would have happened if Condi Rice smuggled national security documents in her panties? Resignation, prison, impeachment of the President...)
How about William Jefferson, the Ice Box Bubba? NO resignation, the GOP actually fought for his right to hide items in his office. And he's running for re-election.
The RAT congressman who had SEX with a young page? THEY DEMANDED PRIVACY from the media! The congressman was re-elected. But our guy writes smarmy emails, we force him to resign and we are branded corrupt.
What's his name (Schumer?)'s illegal land deal in AZ, and the left's aspiring young black presidential candidate - his shady house deal with a mafia guy - NOT a word from the press and NO "Congressional Oversight" by the Republicans.
Sorry, I am madder at our weakness than I am the left's corruption and outrageous behavior.
Snicker.
Sure...right after they cut our taxes, drill for oil in ANWAR, ban abortion...
'40 years in the wilderness' for the republicans again?
What a totally silly question. In your neighborhood do bears come out of the woods to do their business in the street? Do swine have avian qualities unknown elsewhere?
Would Adolf Hitler have shared power? He and the RATs have so much in common.
LOLOL Next time tell me how you really feel! ;) Actually, as a woman I am awfully tired of weak men leaders. Wish our guys would stand up and get a backbone. I'm getting tired :)
The Republican leadership is hapless. Frist and Bush are inept at enforcing party discipline.
The base is disgusted and sick of backstabbing assclown turncoats like John McCain who throw monkey wrenches into the party, and weak party leaders like Bush who sign bills like CFR in the hope that the liberal SCOTUS will declare them unconstitutional.
Ball-less, whimpering, weaklings all.
