[From 1933 to 1995, a 62 year period, the Dems controlled the House for 58 of those years and the Senate for 54. We are not going to get back the House in 2008.]


Fine. Step aside and go off to work on your gardening or something and let people with some ideas and ambition have some room to work.

LOL. And what are your ideas? The Reps have some soul searching to do, but the political reality is that we must now deal with a Dem Congress. It took us 40 years to get control of the House and it will take more than just two years to get it back. Moreover, changing demographics are going to make it more difficult to hold on to what we have. When people like JD Hayworth and Rich Santorum lose, there needs to be some discussion as to what the Party stands for and how can it prevent becoming the permanent minority party.

We can expect the passage of "comprehensive immigration reform" [amnesty and a guest worker program], which will involve the granting of legal status to 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants and open borders for many more. The Dems will have them and their children as part of their core constituency in the future. By 2050, more than 1/4 of our population will be Hispanic.
