"I've voted for Bush twice, even had my picture taken with him ... however, reality is what it is and Bush is by every measure a lame duck president for the remainder of his Presidency. He knows it ..."
What he thinks he knows is that his OBL agenda for shamnesty will now have an easier time passing with a Dim congress. Clearly he had no qualms about dividing the party and risking a loss in majority by siding with the libs on this issue. Open borders and amnesty won out over winning the WOT.
"FoxNews reporting from the White House: White House spokesman Tony Snow reacted to the change in House control by allowing they're disappointed, but that it presents some intriguing opportunities, such as passing comprehensive immigration reform which failed in the previous Republican House."
Boy, talk about over reaction. Get some sleep, John. Your mind has burned out.
Likely the Democrats will overplay their hand this next two years and help again to elect a Republican to the White House....
Why do you say this? All Hillary needs to do is hold Kerry's states and add Ohio, which I think is very doable. I don't buy the notion that Nancy Pelosi will turn people off to women leaders. She will focus the anger on herself, and Hillary will benefit from the comparison.
More wishful thinking. The tax cuts are as good as gone.
Bush does NOT have the stones to do what needs to be done with Iran.They are pretty much guaranteed to acquire a nuclear weapon. And who will be the proud recipients of that nuke?
Some democrat-infested major city in the USA. You reap what you sow.
Lead pipe cinch that it will be either McCain or Juliani
against the HILDEBEAST.I never thought Santorum would get
spanked by 18 points. Unless he moves out of Penn. , he is
toast politically.
ok, if you're sure. My guess he'll be too compassionate conservative do do much more.
I totally agree.
Sorry John, but I think that you're completely wrong here. Remember who RUNS the democratic party. Remember who holds the pursestrings. Remember who's in the leadership positions. Those newly elected members of congress, most of whom were elected BECAUSE they ran as "moderates" or even "conservatives" will find that if they want to have an office bigger than a coffin, or be assigned to any committees, they're going to have to go along with the hard leftists on pretty much every issue.

"On the plus side, I think today's result increases the chance that we'll be able to hold om to the Whitehouse in '08.
Why do you say this? All Hillary needs to do is hold Kerry's states and add Ohio, which I think is very doable. I don't buy the notion that Nancy Pelosi will turn people off to women leaders. She will focus the anger on herself, and Hillary will benefit from the comparison."
The moonbats won't rest. They'll want to kick the ever-lovin' snot out of Bush for the next two years. Don't buy this bipartison crap. The want Bush bloodied and beatin' with investigations and hearings. It's the only way to grease the skids for Hillary in '08. Remember the "culture of curruption", well it worked for them in '06 what makes you think they won't use it in '08?
Absolutely. They'll overreach, leaving Hillary to appear the voice of sweet reason (Attila the Hun is the voice of sweet reason compared to Nancy Pelosi). Hillary is the big winner yesterday, which is why the choice of her GOP opponent is so important.
The problem is that too much of the general population is too easily swayed by the media hammering them with negative news and opinions on the war.
Right after 9/11 we were shaken out of complacency.
Years later we seem to have forgotten that many things that are worth doing and must be done aren't quick or easy.
We're in a war. Our enemy is throwing a great deal of resources at us and aren't fighting by the rules of war.
Of course there are casualties. Of course it's a hard fight. Of course there are risks.
However, no one is presenting a better overall plan than the president. They are just attacking his efforts without a real plan of their own.
The only other plan being offered is appeasement, and history has clearly shown time and time again that doesn't solve problems, it makes them worse over the long run.
The People have spoken.
Yeah, and it's going to be really exciting to watch the reaction when the first suicide bomber goes off at an American mall. We'll be needing every one of those troops right here. The media won't mention the connection, but in the backs of everyone's mind will be the sure and certain knowledge that the 2006 election brought it home.
It's also a repudiation of everyone who has helped the U.S. over the last five years.
They'll try to raise taxes and they have to do it soon. Anyone whose state has a newly elected Dem governor: It's the first thing they do, so that people will forget.
Does anyone know thw date when the tax cuts expire?
