Republicans will lose even worse in '08
Ant:
Take a look at the 08 races and you learn that republicans will probably lose even more seats soon.
The country is going to be dominated by democrats for at least a decade. If they do well then longer.
I just hope its centrist Clinton democrats. But I'm not at worried about the Dems. They don't seem as inclined to cater to the wackos in their party the way the republicans completed turned their back on America because they thought catering to the religious wackos like Trauma would be a good idea.
I'm a little worried dems might have too much power soon. If they pick up the presidency and more seats in 08 they will dominant american politics like the GOP could never imagine doing.
Too much power is never a good thing. The GOP just got a whiff of power and they lost their minds.

Democractic is a good party. They are for the people, ethics, and so on. Whether they are liberal or conservative, it should be okay. Although, they are somewhat soft.
Suffice:
Virtuoso is right... democrats, republicans, whatever... all they do is fulfil the agendas of the people who put money in their pockets. When the lobbyist bribes were exposed a while back, you should have known. It happens all the time. When voting, it's all about whose face would you rather see on TV and newspapers for the years to come. Policies are still eventually favoring the people who are in power, not the people. Malcolm X - "The truth is on the side of the oppressed" - Bullshit. The truth is on the side that we will never know because people in the Bohemian Club make deals and divide up the power that senators and representatives could only dream of. SO yeah, the democrats might win, but unjust and intrusive wars will continue, and the US will continue to fuck the world to maintain its hegemony until someone stands up to it. There is no hope for a morally righteous government. These people don't know what its like to be a regular human being, the laws don't affect them personally, so they don't give a fuck. They're only after their own interests. So essentially, representative government ins't representative at all. and Ant, you need to read some literature about Democrats instead of blindly supporting everything they do. In that sense, your'e no better than Trauma. He's just on the other side

I think that this class of Dems is exactlt what this county needs right now. They ran from the middle, instead of from the right, they ran farmers, pro lifers, and war vets, this might be the best group of freshmen congressmen we've seen since the New Deal Dems in 1932.
Where the Dems went wrong is that they held congress, mostly both houses, from 1952-1994 without interuption, and they held the majority, with the exeption of 4 years, from 1932-1994. They started out as a great group of congressmen that got old, and died, a new generation gained congress, and they were currupted, they lied, and they even butted heads with Bill Clinton his first 2 years, and fucked over Jimmy Carters presidency, and those guys were part of the same party. Those Democrats should have been ran out the White House. The good they did was keep Reagan's presidency in check, but over-all, they were crooked. They had political machines everywhere, they claimed to be for multi-culturalism, but in reality they were only for multi-culturalism if they, the white men, were in the lead.
These new Dems are in the middle. There are still some old school Dems, those that survived the Republican Revolution of 1994, and they have been humbled, and for the most part, put in place. The new Dems are for the middle class, the old Dems were for welfare. When Bill Clinton went before the congress with Welfare reform, his own party was mad, and the Dems controlled the House, Senate and Presidency. These new Dems would say, lets move forward, lets get his party started. These Dems are telling minority, come and have leadership positions, hell, lets have a black or woman president. There is already many improvements, and only in 10 years will we know what will happen. I can say for the first 4-6 years, the new Dems will do many things for improve the country, lower health cost, put money into oil alternatives, and find a way out of Iraq.
The Republicans of 1994 became currupt with their power after 6 years, though you can argue it was alot sooner. There main thing was to impeach Bill Clinton, who, unlike George Bush, did nothing to warrant an investigation. They wanted to lower taxes, and Bill Clinton was there to make sure that rich taxes stay high, and poor people's taxes stay low. In 2001, once Bush was president, the Republicans of 1994 stop becoming idealist, and became Bush lap dogs, they bend over and let the White House ride. This congresses needed to go, there needs to be balance, and a Dem party in the middle is exactly what we need.
As for our nuts, most of them are now green, it is now time for the Republicans to find a party for their nuts.
