What Will It Mean Now That the Senate Is Majority Democrat?

Question

Does anyone see any REAL change in store? The Dems have been in the background for so long that I imagine they'll have to become re-acquainted with each other.I hope they don't blow it.
And I really hope they do something VERY QUICKLY ABOUT the Situation With Our Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.(Like finding out why over 350 billion dollars have been spent on war effort, and yet our soldiers are without so much basic military gear.)

Answer 1

YES WE WILL SAVE AMERICA FROM THE NEO CONS

IMPEACH BUSH

Answer 2

And what exactly can they do about Iraq and Afghanistan? Did we somehow change the Constitution and no longer make the President the Commander in Chief?

There will be 2 years of nothing. Deal with it.

Answer 3

Joe Biden has said he'll call hearings right away! By the way, they just called the Virginia race-Dems won Majority there too! Expect things to change...but the new Congress won't convene until January.

Answer 4

more power,, yes real change,, with Nancy Pelosi as speaker,, and Harry Reid as majority leader,, they can't go wrong,, as difficult a the days ahead may be,, redeployment of US troops from Iraq to Afghanistan will be a good start for a new course,, and tell everybody working for Halliburton to get out of Iraq,,, make um donate new equipment to US troops from operation helmet .org

Answer 5

Nothing. A slim majority will not give them the juice to push anything through and they can't override a Presidential Veto. We're looking at a do-nothing Congress for the next two years.

Answer 6

It's only been 4 years. There was a democratic majority in the senate when Bush first came in.

Answer 7

I foresee alot of bickering and unneeded hearings with nothing getting done for the next two years

Answer 8

repair the damage of the last six years

Answer 9

no real change, it's all about power.
