Demographics are not on the GOP's side, so it is critically important that the Republicans hold on now, and implement as much of the conservative agenda as possible, and hope it lasts. In ten years, there will be more red states that have trended blue than the other way around.

And one thing that would help a new Democrat majority keep that status is the mainstream media. I know they are not as important as they used to be, but they still matter. How else can you explain the awful polling numbers for Bush and the GOP on the economy? If it were the Clinton era, the media would be trumpeting every bit of good news, and similarly, if the Democrats take charge, then suddenly everything won't be so bad in 2008.

A few conservatives and Freepers have hung their hat on the idea that if the dems win congress, it will be short lived when America sees what they do. Dumb.

The media will help market whatever nutty things spring from the Congress, and will help make an impeachment of Dubya a popular one.

This doesn't please me, but I think it's true.

There's another demographic working for Republicans. Younger people are more Republican than older people. A decade of older, solid Dhimmi voters will die off replaced by younger GOP trending voters.

Oh you are such a liar!

1) The demographics are moving to the red states
2) The demographics are moving to the red districts within the red state. Bush won the 99.9% of the fastest growing districts
3) Conservatives are having far more children than liberals.
4) Electoral votes are moving to red states.
5) The Dem Media is decreasing in terms of viewership, both in print and in tv, while Nielson has just reported that there are far more conservatives on the internet and new media

So take your liberal lies elsewhere you liberal punk thug

That's true, but only because republicans aren't fulfilling a conservative agenda.

If we were, people would be pleased with the results and see no reason to vote democrat.
