OK the election is over the democrats have taken over what is your opinion and why?

Answer 1

I'm happy. The Republican controlled Congress was a rubber stamp for Bush and that breaks the balance of power that there should be in a democracy. Now with a Democrat controlled House and Senate he is going to negotiate and not going to be able to do anything he wants.

Answer 2

Well unlike the Liberals response when a Republican wins, I'm not shouting THEY CHEATED, or IT WAS RIGGED!!!

My opinion is people voted, people spoke, and the Dems won fair and square.I think if Bush got rid of Rummy a couple of months ago, we would still have the Senate.If you noticed, in most of the elections,Demos didn't win by a whole lot.Theres still a lot of Republicans out there who voted Democrat, and can't wait to vote Republican again, which they will after watching the Dems break all of their promises they made just to get votes.One term, Republicans will be back in it..(I voted straight Republican btw)

I will give them the benefit of the doubt and see what happens, but not holding my breath..

Answer 3

I predict Pelosi going even more nutso. (She voice sounds like nails across a chalkboard) and Bush picking up that dusty veto pen.

She doesn't have the super-majority she needs, not with blue dogs. Dems win because they pretended to be conservative.
Look up Veto people - Bush hasn't vetoed anything yet because of a Repub House/Sen. Veto rules the next 2 years. No gay marriage (except what? a few states?) , no stem cell (except Missouri)

We will stay the course on the war. Nobody in this country voted to pull out.

6 new states passed laws banning same-sex marriage.

Pelosi's San Francisco values are not my values.

Welcome to your "victory" Dems. 08' is around the corner.

Answer 4

The democrats were in power in the house and senate for 40 years. The republicans rode in on their proverbial white horse 12 years ago to fix corruption, cut government spending, cut taxes, eliminate special interest control over our government, and whining that the democrats had been in power too long. What we got was 12 years of corruption, 12 years of special interests buying and selling republican congressmen and women like there was a flea market going on, and when they got a republican president the order of the day was to cut taxes on the wealthy, spend the treasury into bankruptcy, (borrow money from chinese banks so we don't have any more leverage with the chinese or they call our debts into play), cut government spending (except of course for the military and government contracts in Iraq), wipe out any vestige of environmentalism, take away basic rights, spy on US citizens, setup secret prisons, torture prisoners of war, award contracts to friendlys without any bidding, encouraging the hatred of other religions, attack sovereign nations with moronic claims of wmd's or connections to al queda which don't exist.
After only 6 years of total republicanism we have a nuclear iran, and a nuclear north korea, republican representatives who are pedophiles, who are quitting under campaign fund scrutiny and who have so much special interest money that they never have to work again. I think things can't possibly be worse under the democrats.

Answer 5

The democrats have promised to work together and no more mud slinging..,however they are still pushing for impeachment of the president and Charlie Wrangle is already wanting Dick Cheney's Vice Presidential Office..,the physical office the vp occupies as it was many many years ago an office not for the vp but another office.Instead of worrying about petty things they should be talking about their plan which I still have not heard about.Wheres the talk of the changes they want to better our county but I guess what office they sit behind the desk in the white house is more important.Yeh lets all work together.yeh right

Answer 6

I think it will show America if the Democrats were really the best choice or if they too will fail in many ways the Republicans did. I'm most certainly a Republican but blame the loss on many factors we contributed to ourselves. It will prove if either 1) absolute power corrupts or 2) the Republicans in power now simply didn't do a good job

Answer 7

we all know the petty squabbling between the Republicans and Democrats. It will no doubt continue on.

When are the PEOPLE going to considered, over a pay raise,or some deal that will greately enrich some politions wallet?

Answer 8

They have been wanting to take over for a while now. So lets see some action. I hope that Nancy Pelosi is as true as she sounds.

Answer 9

Not much will change. The margin is thin. The Blue Dog Democrats are in.. They are sometimes more conservative than republicans.. it will be interesting.. I think not much gets done and not much will change. sorry to upset my liberal friends.

Answer 10

I'm all for the balance this brings. Having the republicans control everything has been a disaster.
