Totally correct:
#1 Historically the in-power party loses a significant number of seats in the 6th year of a presidency.
#2. Dems and the media have kept the focus on Bush and have labeled him a failure in every way.
#3. The war will have dragged on for 3+ years with no clear cut victory. There will be no signing of surrender documents on the USS Missouri in this war.
#4. The level of hate for Bush is unprecedented. Not logical, not deserved, but unprecedented.
#5. We have few candidates capable of picking up seats in either Senate or House. Nelson was vulnerable, but with KH, he will be reelected 65-32. It's that bad here in Florida.
As a result, we will likely lose House, possible Senate but I don't think so.
As a further result, the radical Dems in House will move to impeach President Bush for "War Crimes" and other such nonsense, and have a very good chance of succeeding. As opposed to Clinton Impeachment where the great unwashed were told it was all about nothing, the broadcast media will be in bed with the Dems in order to try to get a payoff of putting additional restrictions on direct satellite broadcasting, thereby preserving the dinosaur terrestrial broadcast media's profits.
As a result, the following will happen.
President and VP will likely be impeached, but probably not removed from office.
Bills will be passed putting severe restrictions on Conservative Internet resources such as FR.
Program such as Rush and Hanity will be severely restricted under the implementation of a new so-called "Fairness Doctrine."
Slavery reparations have at least a 50/50 chance of becoming law, with riots threatened if the payoffs are not made.
Taxes will become much more oppressive, with any thought of tax reform forever doomed as the unwashed taught that somehow the "Fair Tax isn't fair."
Seem far-fetched? Give me odds and I'll put money down!

Agree with the first half, not the second.

Seem far-fetched? Give me odds and I'll put money down! The only thing in your list that might happen is impeachment, but the odds are long even there.
As to the rest, if the GOP holds the Senate, none of it will happen, and it won't happen even if they don't.
Bush will veto reparations, tax increases, and a return of the fairness doctrine. You can count on that.

If your prognostications came true we'd be warring in the streets, civil war II.

MindBender26, very good analysis and very scary about the prospects for 2007 and 2008. Could be very dark years with the very real possibility of (I hate to even think this) Speaker Pelosi. If we survive the crap that will be thrown at us (I believe your projections but pray that you are wrong), 2008 should be all Republican as the country will want a significant change from what these Dim jerks could do to us and the President. Lets work hard to prevent the Dim message getting any traction if somebody can find a message from the left besides the hatred for our President.
