Isnt it amazing how republicans said we would never win both the senate and the house?
My question is now that republicans are a minority and have no control over government. Will they now be a thing of the past? how do they feel now that they lost power due to scandals and corruption?

Unfortunately no, they still control the judicial branch and the executive branch.

Heh... A word to the wise: Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
First, the senate is still up in the air, and it is more likely that it will end up fifty-fifty. Second, a forty-seat majority is hardly a landslide. The Republicans still hold the White House and veto power, and there are still enough Republicans to sustain said vetoes. I predict, however, this IS the beginning of the end for democrats...
See... If they work WITH the president, they lose, alienating themselves from their base. If they waste time on endless investigations, they lose, as the American people want ACTION.

i'm inquisitive approximately this "landslide victory" I save listening to approximately. Is that why, after 2 days, we've been uncertain of which party held the Senate? Is that why democrats are counting 2 independents as "controlling" the Senate? be pleased with a win and get off the shielding, and get to artwork!

Extinct? Far be it. Were the Democrats extinct when they weren't in power? No. Of course not. And people like to bluff, even Republicans.
They're all politicians after all. And corruption is not limited to the Republicans. The Democrats are guilty too.

Come on, now, you should know better. Republicans are not extinct, they are disheartened, and there's a big difference! And if you think Republicans are the minority, please don't be naive. I am a broken record today, but I am afraid there will be gridlock of untold proportions and don't forget the almighty power of the veto. I am tired of the partisan bickering on Capitol Hill and here on Yahoo Answers. If people don't learn the art of intelligent discourse and compromise very soon, well, we'll all be passengers in this hand-basket, and if you're intelligent, I don't have to tell you where we're headed.

No. Reps still dominate the Senate. It is just more difficult to find middle ground on issues. The House will be led by Palosi who will be out to show that a woman can hold this, the most powerful position ever attained by a woman. She will have to deal like it or not. Reps and Dems are always in the middle of it, no party disappears.

America has been stuck in non-action domestically for a very long time. America has been stuck in the stubbornness of failed international policy by the Executive branch of our government for too long.
Several key roadblocks to progress in our country and our future are now gone!
I have been told the first step in overcoming a problem is to face it.
American citizens have faced the fact we have had a problem in our country for too long. And we have now embraced the winds of change.
Too many in positions of power were to entrenched in selfish ideology to change, too stubborn to admit to mistakes, too harsh to be open to the possibility for positive change.
No longer, my friend, no longer!

Parties recover from scandals (athough they never learn from them)
When the Dems become arrogant, the GOP will come back and reverse the situations

I just want to reiterate that you have a VERY short memory. When Clinton was in office, there were nothing but scandals. Give it time, once the people see what libs really stand for, they will be out of a job.

Wow.....wow
The Republicans still control the Judiciary and Executive branches. And were people saying the Dems were extinct when the Reps took control of all three branches? Of course not, they were simply the minority. Now, we are the minority in Congress but every where else we continue to retain power

No. They won't be going anywhere. I think opposition is healthy. We need to see things from more than one point of view.
Americans have spoken and it is unanimous that Bush has not done a great job. People criticized Clinton because he did such a great job that he had time to get a ********. HaHa Maybe that is what Bush needed to see that his Presidency is not all about him.
I know that was ugly but I just felt like saying it.
