This happens to the party that controls the White House since FDR. But remember this, America has a conservative soul. Liberalism did not win. Both Bill Clinton and other prominate democrats warned the House and Senate leaders not to push a left leaning agenda. The new Dems are much more conservative than their leaders(at least they campaigned that way). If this signals a new beginning for the Dem party, then it should be embraced. If it was a campaign ploy, then they will continue a losing streak. There will be legislation that we may not like, but that doesn't mean the country is ruined. What do you think the left would be doing now if we won? We are showing the public we are much more gracious losers. My mother, who is a dem, even mentioned it. I have to laugh when Bill Schneider said the GOP must move left. The Dems had to move right to win. This is and always will be the best damn country the creator in his wisdom saw fit to create. Polls show most people in USA value their relation with God by a large margin. This does not hold true in Europe. The GOP is down but not out. The GOP doesnt need to become like Bob Barr, but it needs to rediscover it's conservative roots. I have been on DU and other left sites and there is not all champagne and celebration on the left either. I will be leaving on a deer hunting and fishing hiatus and will be back in 3 weeks. Everyone have a good Thanksgiving

I like our chances for OPresident in 2008 and getting back both houses. The democrats will show their true colors and the US voters will be shocked.

Good post. We do live a great country.

I think we all got played by the powers that be.

I remember people saying a vote for Kerry is a vote
for Hillary. I think they offered Kerry has a sacrificial
lamb. They had a plan launched in 2004 to take back
the house and they got the Senate as a bonus.

It is going to be fun to watch Kerry get kicked to the curb
by Hillary.

I on with the "my team can't win 'em all thing." You can say that like the Steelers the Republicans caused most of their own problems by dropping the ball. Except when the Steelers lose I don't worry too much about being overrun by Muslim hoards, paying taxes out the yin-yang, and stocking up on ammo.

The thoughts I have watching the Steelers play require only one well-placed round. :)

"The new Dems are much more conservative than their leaders"

It was a campaign ploy. The radical left pelosi wing is running the show, the "new" conservative democrats are window dressing.

They will vote the pelosi line.

This defeat by the American people may prove to be more than a typical mid-term election switch. I hope I'm wrong, but Al-Qaeda and its underlings, could cause a massive switch to the GOP in '08.

Ann Coulter summed it up best for me when she commented that finally all the Diebold machines worked correctly for the first time! Isn't that amazing?

The Republicans lost. I don't like the message it sends to our enemies but your team cannot win every game.

If we want to win the next election, we've got to target the media bias. Their anti-everything Republican won the democrats their election. Even today if you ask a dem voter what dem policy they liked the best, they couldn't even name one. No one new what they were voting FOR. All they knew, according to what they learned from the MSM, was that the world was coming to an end.

Now that the democrats have won, we'll all be living in world full of smiles and sunshine. The MSM will tell us all about the beauty of it all, and what a terrific job the democrats are doing of rebuilding the broken and torn holographic grid of our glorious planet.

Media bias HAS to be exposed, because all we have is right wing radio and 1/2 of FOX news. The rest is all working for the democrat party - CNNABCNBCCBSMSNBC and even Al Jazgeera.

He who controls communication controls the world.

It's great to be optimistic, but the sad truth is that we lost. It took us 40 years to gain the House and the Dems 12 years to regain it. We are laboring under a major misconception if we believe that we can just flip a switch and take it back again. The Dems now have the power of incumbency and the ability to set the agenda. And unlike us, they will have a fawning and supportive MSM lauding everything they do. Things are going to get worse before they get better.

Great post.

As the week and gone along, I am coming to belive more of what you are saying. We lost and we lost big. But it looks to me like country is moving more to the middle. It is time for us all to start to focus more on the good in our country than the bad. I think the hate needs to be lost! MSM was not our friend and that has been proven over the last 6 years. However, I have a strong faith in our President and I am behind him 100%. We have a divided house, but we have to reach out. I think this is more of a larger plan.... I read God's word and know He hold our future.

Maybe I will feel the same way you do, but right now I am OF feeling that when they have us down they will keep us down. I for one do not intend to turn the other cheek and look the other way. I know what is to come in America under these people . Look they are already after Rush and last night on fox the ugly gray haired lady said on Oreily that Hannity was mean during this campaign. They are going to silence everyone who stand s in their way now. I guess Michael fox can go back on his meds now the act is over.

I don't like the message it sends to our enemies

And it doesn't send a good message to our troops,either.

My son-in-law is trying to re-enlist (he was injured last time and needs a waiver) and my daughter is also thinking of signing on the dotted line (she already has been offered the specific army employment that she wants).

They always campaign that way! It's the only way they can win elections. Bubba campaigned that way too, remember?

There will be a leftist agenda coming from this congress. Wishing it away will not work.
