China and Iran don't have a Second Amendment, or 400 million firearms owned by ordinary citizens.
Notice that Iraq -- for all its flaws -- is one of the most heavily-armed places on the planet. And nobody even bothers to control the internet there.
For the life of me, I can't figure out how anyone could reasonably expect to control the internet in an age of wireless technology.

"Delcration of War"...just words. No different than how they do it legally today.
Do you truly believe everything would be different if instead of a "resolution" we had a "declaration"????
Geez.

Also, you obviously don't know the difference between RATS and Republicans. To even compare the two is utterly ridiculous!

Well at least he is still the POTUS, for the time being, I also fear that the Dems may just be starting their return to power...........this may well be the End of the GOP as a party.......I may die under a DEMS controlled US and I am only 32.....not likely to make it to the 77 years for a male.... I may just have to give up any thoughts of freedom......DEMS get the whole shebang in 2008 WH and Congress with huge seat advantage veto-proof I fear/ end panic mode, at least I hope so, but I fear it will be the case 99.99% sure **SOBS** Get a grip already! Go to work tomorrow, love your spouse, raise your kids. Say prayers for our brave soldiers.
The world isn't coming to an end. It's just an election.

He said that Beauprez in Colorado..and Hayworth in AZ losing is a sign that the hispanics came out in a BIG way to show their disapproval of the hard line that some of the GOP took about the illegal immigrants.Not so, the hispanics couldn't afford to live anywhere NEAR that area. It's the university students that did him in, that and the people who HIRE all those illegals.

"Allen is fine. He will end up about 1500-3000 ahead, and there are still 100,000-150,000 absentee Ballots to count --those will go in Allen's favor and he will end up 5000-10000 ahead.
Webb will ask for a recount , and it will get Ugly, but that is too many votes for the Dems to Manufacture.
Corker looks to be in Great Shape in Tenn.
Steele still has an outsaide chance, and Burns also has a shot. "
Thanks, commish.

If the Senate holds, and it should, they can stop anything coming from the House and Bush might actually grow a spine and veto if he has to.The Senate Republicans generally bow to the Democrats. It's up to Bush to veto the craziness.

To: Howlin
There is one glimmer of hope. We lived through many years of Republican presidents, Dem Congress. But back then the Dems had an agenda. They don't now...other than to get Bush.
They can only get so far with "moderate talk". Eventually they're going to have to agree on an agenda. And that could very well be when the wheels come off their "diverse" coalition of interest groups. They can't stifle the unions, the Black Caucus, and Hollywood forever. For a while, yes. But not forever.
So it's going to be interesting watching them try to patch together the agenda they never came up with during the campaign. Not fun, but interesting.

they know that VA is going to a recount, yet they are calling it for Webb.
so much for "fair and balanced", they are CNN now. their election day coverage will knock another 30% off their ratings.
To: jbwbubba
I heard NBC is figuring a dem house of 234 seats or so.
That means Dubya is certain to get impeached in 2007/early 2008.
It means the folks who were figuring to send the GOP a message and stick it to them, and win it back 2 years later are in fantasyland. A GOP House may be a decade or more off (at best) especially if the dems have 234 seats.

I don't deny that tonight is a loss, and a bitter one. I think that given the historical performance of the President's party in second term midterms, this night is not a terrible beating. It is, however, a beating nonetheless.
This is not whitewashing or spinning...nor is it gloom and doom. As you rightly point out, the sun will rise tomorrow and life goes on. I lose very little sleep nowadays over the drubbing the GOP took in the '82 midterms, and a few years hence I will probably feel the same about the '06 election.

Well, I did hold my nose and vote for Perry and Kay Bailey Hutchison. I don't expect every pubbie to be a Reagan.

Also, a lot of GOP candidates ran lousy campaigns like Allen.
Whoever's idea it was (if it wasn't Allen himself) to make the central theme of his advertising what Webb wrote in his novels needs to commit ritual Japanese Seppuku.
Really stupid and played horribly in Northern Virginia, I'm sure.

We lost 3 so far, right? Slight chance to pickup MD. VA is going to recount, and that leaves MT and MO and TN. If we hold TN doesn't that make it 50-50?

Democrats have always had this little ploy where they hold back reporting results in selected precincts until they figure out how many votes they need to win. Then, "their" poll workers go to work. They were exposed in Palm Beach FL in 2000, but I remember Bush's FL lead evaporating as the Dems manufactured votes. I've always believed certain Dem precincts cheat big-time where there are almost no Republican representation amongst the poll workers.

"It worked in Europe and in Japan after WWII under the Marshall plan."
That required the aforementioned utter defeat and destruction of their very ideology. That is NOT what is happening here.
"Freedom of self determination and the ability to buy and sell in a free market economy."
You mean the "freedom" the Palestinians voted for?
"they'll never give it up to go back to living in dirt houses without electricity and running water and selling camel dung for a living."
They had a better country at one point. Left to their own devices, camel dung was the best they could do.

I still see Allen ahead by less than 2000 with 99.18% of the vote.
They're counting the absentee ballots now.
