Need more info to adequately respond.

They are all mad as Captain Ahab.

[A Balrog of Morgoth]

So how moderate are our new Democratic overlords?

The President, the GOP and the War on Terror took one right in the two hole today. That's how moderate they are.

Welcome to 1975.

They are extreme leftists. They feel emboldened now that the Natural Order Of Things has been rightfully restored. And the Drive Bys/MSM will never criticize them.

The US has definately changed...and not for the better...but...BUSH is still POSTUS at least for another couple of years, so, there is hope.

Folks, sometimes the bad guys win...they won tonight...but that doesnt mean they'll win tomorrow or the next day.

[Jokelahoma]

It matters little what the true ideology of newcomers may be. If they want to survive in the Congress, they "go along to get along". They'll have to kowtow to the whims of the Pelosi and Reid agenda (yes, Reid... the senate is lost too.)

On the plus side, this wasn't at all unexpected, not just from a punditry standpoint, but from a historical standpoint. Sixth year midterms almost always go big against the party in power. If one were to try to put a positive spin on this, it does give the leftists two years to show their true colors and lack of ideas before the next big election.

[Howlin]

What's this "we" stuff?

We're more than likely going to lose the Senate too; nobody's going to be "working" with us about jack.

[zarf]

Bank this:

This election guarantees a Republican president in 08'.

The Republicans can now play offense again and we'll see how an aimless Democratic party implodes trying to come of as moderate and fiscally conservative with the moonbats biting at their heals.

Romney is in the catbird seat.

[trumandogz]

This is a Disaster for America and the World and makes me question the wisdom of our democracy. The Democrats, given power will destroy the nation and therefore for the sake of our nation is should be considered if the Democrats should be seated by the current GOP Leadership. Such an action would look bad for the GOP but would be the best for America.

[Unam Sanctam]

I just hope the Dems are somewhat reasonable and constructive and don't indulge their inner moonbat as they have been doing the past few years. We shall see.

[Soul Seeker]

They aren't Zell Miller or even Leiberman. They are fakes that ran on conservatism, and could do it and win, because the GOP failed to govern as the real deal for a contrast.

Expect nothing good from their aisle.

[janetjanet998]

on NPR they said most of the impcoming new house members are more moderate then the democratic leaders

[38special]

The country has changed and the future of the Republican party is not good. One needs to look only at the new demographic of the nation.

[bpjam]

no such thing as a moderate democrat. they still bow to the same gods: abortion, tax hikes, appeasement and socialism. which committee chairman the 'moderates' put into power is not a stark raving liberal?

[HAL9000]

The news media are touting the new wave of Democrats as moderates. But they will drift to the left after they're settled in D.C.

If the Democrats take the Senate, the radicalization will accelerate.

[MadIvan]

It honestly does not matter. The Democrats are perceived as being more dovish than the Republicans - therefore their success will be perceived abroad as a collapse in American will to sustain the fight on terror.

I hope that people have gotten their indignation with President Bush out of their system. We can now expect 2 years of argument and paralysis.

"So what say you?"

Time for everyone to give the rest of thier income over to the tax man, turn in your gun, and start learning the five pillars of Islam.

[MarkL]

While many of the dems that were elected tonight are touted by the media as "moderates" or even "conservative," let's not fool ourselves... The ones in charge of the dem party, and the ones controlling the purse strings, are of the barking moonbat variety. I think that the voters who elected those "moderates" are going to be in for a surprise when they realize what they've done.

[exile]

We're screwed. The Bible says that the poor will always be with us. Apparently so will the stupid.

[mware]

So what say you.

I say they will not allow a vote on issues like life.

If they do Casey will suddenly become pro choice.
