On November 7th, when Republicans maintain control of the legislative branch, how will the Democrats react?

Answer 1

This strategy has already been laid out and is being expressed by many already. They will once again claim that the election was stolen. They will claim misuse of die-bold machines, intentional long lines at polling places, not enough voting machines in minority communities and voter intimidation. They will state that many were disenfranchised because their ballots could not be validated, or their voter registrations were voided. They will blame everything but the actual cause, which is that people are not voting for their policies. They have a platform, but no plan to implement it properly. In absence of this they result to lowest common denominator slander and allegations of corruption. The fact that this doesn't play with American voters anymore does not phase them. They have seen it in 2 elections now and rather than adjust to meet the challenge they just go further off the deep end. Until they wake up to the new realities they will continue to lose at the polls.

Russ C:
Newsflash: Your numbers only represent the number of voters registered with party affiliation and in no way properly represent the voting habits of the American Public as a whole.

Newsflash: Every state has 2 senators no matter the population so your attempts at demographics are misrepresented.

Newsflash: In the 2004 election a majority of registered voters choose the Republican candidate. That would be Mr. Bush.

Newsflash: People are concerned about vote fraud, but unlike yourself require proof of such contentions to which none has been presented. In the 2004 election there was voter fraud, it involved Democrats and 2 were convicted for it.

Answer 2

Newsflash, Republicans don't have a vast majority in this nation!

25% Republican
25% Democrat
50% Independant/no preference.

The Republican controlled Senate represents Approximately 19% (rounded up) of the nation's population (sparsely populated states N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Wyoming, etc.) The Democratic Senators represent ~ 81%.

The House is likely to shift, and shift big, if the Republicans keep shooting themselves in the foot. (Michael J Fox vs. Rush)

Senate may change or be even.

BTW, voter fraud should concern all of us. This is America 2006, we shouldn't be able to question the integrity of our elections. The fact that there are so many legitimate reasons to question results says we are no better than a third world nation when it comes to elections.

We should be able to state with pride that our elections are fair! It is a tradition that began with George Washington.

Answer 3

Oh i quite dont think of something substantial will ensue in the subsequent 4 years particular they could administration the branches yet there all attorneys who will in simple terms bicker and bicker like an older brother VS. little brother they gained't get something achieved and because they wont they are going to enable quite some people down then the Republicans will rule the subsequent election.

Answer 4

That's an easy one. They will take a long vacation and then gather forces to screw things up for the next big election. Will Dean remain as the top dog or will they finally realize that he is a loser? Keep attacking Bush even on small issues. Keep smearing everyone they can get their little dirty hands on. Don't get me wrong. The same holds true if the Democrats take over the House and Senate. The Republicans will try to pull their campaign together as quickly as possible and if the Democrats don't vote in favor of the issues brought up by the Republicans then the Democrats will get it right in the mouth full force.

Answer 5

If after this election the Democrats do not control at least one the houses, I've no doubt they'll jump off a cliff -- but only after they push Howard Dean over the edge first.

Answer 6

It will become obvious to the whole world, not to just the opposing political parties, that America no longer advocates an elected government nor do we have anything resembling a representative democracy.

Answer 7

They will probably go crying to the Supreme Court that the voting was unfair. And that Republicans "fixed" the voting. Sore losers the lot of them! (Note 2 answers above mine, already crying about how unfair it is.)

Answer 8

You are overconfident. Vote Libertarian.

Answer 9

You better wait to see what happens before you go making statements like that.

Answer 10

By blaming the voting machines.
