per britt, democrats clinch the house

[singfreedom]

How about all the illegals that will be voting in 2008, courtesy of the new Dems in power! I'm sure all of them will be celebrating in Main Street, America.

We are heading for the day that the Iran will be emboldened enough to use its nuclear weapons it's now developing. That could mean most of the Persian Gulf oilfields will now become targets and maybe half the world's oil reserves will end up being unrecoverable due to nuclear war.

[Antoninus]

Look for illegal immigration to go thru the roof. More lost jobs, increased gov services for illegals, etc.

Apparently, that's what the people wanted. Let it be.

[se_ohio_young_conservative]

you know what, lets put the blame where the blame belongs.

We Republicans had the majority of Americans behind us just 2 years ago. We blew it. WE BLEW IT.

We pissed this election away. we started spending like Lyndon Johnson on steroids ! thus we met this fate, big government fails. BIG GOVERNMENT FAILS. HISTORY WILL ALWAYS PROVE THAT. Remember when our party came alive ? Government is not the solution, government is the problem. We gained momentum in the 60s because guys like Barry Goldwater said "enough of this crap". we went against that. we lost our our vision. We lost our soul as a party.

THE UNITED STATES IS GOING THE WAY OF WESTERN EUROPE ! we blew it !!!!!!

[Perdogg]

This all started in 2005 when the Republicans didn't punish the demonrats for the electoral vote challenge. The republicans still keep bringing PBS tactics to Jerry Springer Debates, it's time to end the popularity contest. /p>

Are we doomed? Or are we laden with traitors while trying to fight a war against an unprecedented terrorist danger? Face it, folks, we are going to suffer terrorism at home because of the Democrats and their duplicity and ignorance, plain and simple.

[blondee123]

Screw Fox, I quit watching them months ago, they went the way of all the MSM. If I didn't know better, I'd say all their bases belong to Soros!!

I have better things to do with my time than write to them.

"...but they will govern a bit more to the right, at least as concerns the WOT."


With Pelosi in charge? Are you serious?


I hope so.

[JCEccles]

They earned my vote.

And they got it.

[roses of sharon]

LOL, Americans just voted to become Europe.

Republicans/Conservatives were throw out by Americans who want socialism and appeasement.

It has ZERO to do with campaigning by candidates, and everything to do with campaigning by the MSM.

[GregoTX]

Seeing my Country hand over its rights to socialists that hate s free economy, lower taxes and a strong defense does make people angry. It is natural to voice frustrations, and this is an understatement.

[unsycophant]

Great. By the end of the week then, we should be completely out of Iraq, interest rates will be lower with more jobs, lower taxes, and more people back on welfare.

[unixfox]

The markets are gonna tank tomorrow... :(

The economy will become rosy on Thursday, the homeless will not exist, wages will be up, gas prices will fall, unemployment will be zero, and by God the sky will be blue from here until eternity. Just because they RATS took over the house.

[metmom]

Maybe it's just what we need for a Republican victory in 2008. Maybe two years of the House in Dem control will cure some people. Maybe... I hope...

[jude24]

And the Democrats ran as fiscal conservatives. The question is, now that they have the duty to govern, will they act as such, or will they pander to the special interests in their base?

[SoCal Pubbie]

Yes.

[soloNYer]

Unbelievable how lopsided that race was for a Comptroller that has to keep paying money back that he stole. NY is a dreamland of prancing corporate-hating envirowackos.

Looks like Sweeney's going down as well (Republicans are 3 to 1 in his district!)

[P-Marlowe]

Michael Medved said Rangel already has papers drawn up to give the slave reparation money to ancestors!

What is to stop me from redrawing my family tree to show that I am the great great great grandson of an African slave?

Hell if Alex Haley can do it, so can I.

Where are my reparations?

[Hawk1976]

The Dems got the House, so they will have to deliver on some of their promises. Things like get out of Iraq, nationalized health care, immigration amnesty, an Equal Rights Amendment of some sort, etc.

Instead of getting any of that, what will happen is this will stiffen some backbones in the Republicans. Republicans in the HOR will block and fight almost anything they try.

McCain and his cabal are weakened, with Dewine and Chaffee gone from the Senate. McCain still has his ambitions, so he will himself have to move to the right to get the nomination. We have to have a strong conservative leader in the Senate.

If the Democrats start doing all these investigations they promised that will guarantee nothing will get done.

All in all, we may actually come out with a stronger hand.

The conservatives turned out for the Republicans, all those moderates the republicans were courting didn't. This is something Republicans should remember.
