Why bother posting this, the folks who're sitting out this election will once again claim it's not THEIR fault etc. etc.

"If you are one who believes returning control of the House to the Democrats this fall would bring some civility back to Capitol Hill,"

I don't know of anyone who is stupid enough to have suggested this. Then again, I really don't care how "civil" Capitol Hill is as long as the Members do their job. The more "civil" Senate clearly is not doing it's job.

So tell them [the public]. But tell them about how to solve their problems at home and end a war and eliminate dependency on foreign oil. They don't want to hear about disruptive investigations into things that can't be changed. They are angry about a lot of things, including the anger in politics.

Nailed it!

Democratic leader Pelosi
Promises politics conciliatory
While spewing vitriol
Never presidential
A win will increase ferocity

"If you are one who believes returning control of the House to the Democrats this fall would bring some civility back to Capitol Hill, perhaps you should reassess your thinking. From every indication the venomous partisanship would not only not disappear but increase in ferocity, at least for the next two years."

when is enough , enough?

There are only 22 House Republican seats that have been listed as competitive and 12 Democrat seats and from what I saw last week over 10 of the Republican seats are low risk to being lost with only 5 in the extreme danger. I'm hearing a lot of noise but no real movement. Even the border issue is becoming a farce because all sides have really overplayed their hands and exaggerated their positions (fire away). The war in Iraq is really settling down and it appears we are on the right track. Gas prices will fluctuate for a while but by Aug should start to go down as summer travel slows down. The NSA whatever is exactly that to most people, whatever. Valerie Plame will probably pose in Playboy to get some more publicity for her book but no one will be buying for the article. The Rats have nothing to offer and even though they get a little momentum they lose it twice as fast.

The basic reality is that we need to either eliminate the dem party or split the country up. The thing we need more than anything else is runoff elections, so that it would become at least theoretically possible for some third party to rise up and surplant the dems.

"venomous partisanship would not only not disappear but increase in ferocity, at least for the next two years."

You don't get it, Venomous partisanship is what we want.

Bush when elected promised to reach his hand across the isle to the Democrats, to end partisanship, and we have the biggest spending large government president we have ever had.

We didn't elect Republicans to be non partisan, I hope they "get a clue". Until they do, I'm going third party. Oh, and save your preaching about president Hillary, tell that to RINO Bush.
