Includes -"raising the minimum wage, repealing the Medicare legislation that forbids the government from negotiating with drug companies for lower prices, replenishing student loan programs, funding stem cell research and implementing those recommendations of the Sept. 11 commission that have thus far languished"

Absolutely, the democrats have a lot to prove after being ousted these last eight years as majority. I think they will come out fighting, to show the American public that their party is not a do nothing party, or a cut and run party, and that their nominee for the '08 presidential elections is the best candidate for the job. Anything less would be detriment to their party as well as the American people.

I think they will first and formost go after the President and try him for everything they have ever dreamed of. It will take up just as much money as they want and time so that they can do nothing as they have always done in the past. The will however implement extremly liberal agendas, to make us a much more secular government, much like that of France. And....you will see the massive problems just like that of the Western Euro Union these days, top heavy social programs and no where to get the money. Eventually and because it is the times we live in it will happen much faster, rioting in the streets, martial laws being imposed and then the goverment itself, even as we know it today will be changed by decree, from the Newly elected president into a socialist goverment...which is just another name for communism.
You think things are narrowed down in our liberty, wait you aint seen nothing yet. OH...and get used to seeing Nancy Polsi on TV all the time..............god forbid. Oh well might be good for us with her there all the time....for I know I will turn her off.
If you are for all this social change it is best to look at what has happened in Germany, France and Spain, when you give to the populas and they dont have to work to draw down a paycheck, then eventually the stop working.........and then who do you think will pay for all that ....time off and government subsided living.
War is not only from without on the horizon, the war from within is about to happen. Give you 5 years.

beginning with the 2000 election, prevailing the electoral vote yet dropping the conventional vote by using 500,000 votes (dems are pi$$ed and Bush get a great crimson objective painted on his chest). much less then 9 months after he's sworn into workplace there's a terrorist attack on our u . s . a .. presently there after G.W. Bush has the optimal approval score (~ninety two%) of any president in our international places background. regardless of in case you settle or disagree, we pass to conflict in Iraq. This starts off a downward spiral in his approval score (~43ish%) and national spending starts off going up very immediately. This style keeps by using 2006. on a similar time, gas expenditures are in basic terms a splash over $2 a gallon, the economic device is powerful, and the housing bubble isn't bursting yet. 2007 we get a power replace in the senate and domicile from a republican majority to a democratic majority. Mid-2007 gas expenditures are over $2.50 a gallon, the economic device is slowing to a snails %. and the housing bubble is commencing to burst and we start up seeing the own loan banking industry implode. the domicile and senate approval score is sinking (12% a point that has in no way been seen in the previous) swifter the GWB's and passes his in the previous you already comprehend it. 2008 you start up with a "stimulus" equipment (163 billion), bail out endure Stearns, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, AIG, the $seven-hundred billion bailout (incredibly basically over 860 billion with all the bells and whistles), and now Pelosi and her dem hack squad needs a clean "stimulus" equipment (over $seven-hundred billion extra). Yeah, i assume once you form all of it out and notice all the variety like that. It could desire to have been all GW Bush's fault! are not getting me incorrect, Bush performed a great component to this. yet is he quite the only one responsible right here? --EDIT another be conscious. The democrats wrote and backed the "bailout" bill. So technically the republicans are the silly ones to pass alongside with it. the certainty bites you in the backside everytime.

if they win a majority, they still have to wait 2 years for a democratic president that won't veto all of their bills.

I assume they would try.
As for the elements of the agenda, and the merits of those, I'll leave it to others to answer.

I think they will try, but George Bush will veto any improvement that could happen to peoples lives, unless of course it would benefit him then it will be all right. He will definitely veto any legislation that will lose money for the drug company's as he is making money off of them
