Why don't you ask your Republican president? Surely HE has the answers to all of the world's problems

I am not a Republican, but I also did not vote for the Democrats. I felt like the Democrats sole platform was we are not the Republicans and thus did not feel like they had any productive ideas for change. However, I accept the fact that the people have spoken and I do believe the people have the ability to make the right the decisions at the right times in history. I think it is unfair to prejudge the actions of the new Congress as they have not begun legislation yet. I am willing to take a wait and see attitude with an open mind. I do believe the Democrats have the ability to effect positive change if they embrace the bi-partisan spirit. No matter what happens in the next 2 years it should be very telling as far as the Democrats are concerned. The real question is did they just want power, or do they really have the well being of the country as a whole in mind?

There is no super duper, solve the world's problems solution. But, since you asked, allow me to remind you that after 8 straight years of 3 Red branches, an actual balance is a refreshing change.

The Democrats won't need a "super-duper" solution to retain power. Just sound populist ideas.
1. Raise the minimum wage (the first bill that will be passed. Do you believe Bush will veto it? If he does he hands the Dems an election issue for 2008).
2. Increase spending on education (Ted Kennedy and Bush's Secretary of Education have been working on this since this past summer).
3. Ending tax breaks for oil companies (This will garner huge support from the American people. Again, will Bush oppose the measure)?
Of course the big issue remains the war in Iraq. But clearly, the American voters believe this is Bush's war. Everytime he rejects an idea or suggestion that it is timne to change course, he looks like an obstructionist.
The Dems are sitting in a very good spot for 2008.

your looking at the new carpet baggers of the millenium...democrats will have no solution as they have completely misinterpreted the problem. as in the clinton era they tend to respond to polls rather than what is correct. in this case, they felt that a less than forty percent vote against IRAQ was a mandate for their party. even with the study group, the 79 points are looked at by many critics, including iraqs vice president as largely contradictory, dangerous and sometimes nonsensical.
democrats were NOT there in 92 with sudan on the possible capture of bin laden and they wont be here now. again, no solution is possible when the question is clearly not understood the sole agenda was tax and spend and as you can see from a few of the answers here, its beginning already and will go out of control in january.

Let's see . . . Bush has spent the better part of six years getting us to where we are today, and you want to know how the Democrats are going to fix everything a little over a month after they were elected, but a month before they are actually sworn into office. And instead of serious, thoughtful approaches based on facts and logic, you want a "super duper solve the world's problems solution." You certainly sound like you've got the GW approach to government down!
How's this for an answer? He or she will be elected President in 2008.

The Democrats won, yes, but they haven't taken office yet. Its kind of hard to solve the world's problems until you are actually in power. It also might interest you to note that one of the reasons the Republicans lost is because they didn't seem able to come up with "the super duper solve the world's prolems solution". In reality, its an AMERICAN issue - not a Democratic or Republican issue - its going to take cooperation to solve the problems of the world.

The democrats and republicans work for the same interests pretty much. The Federal Reserve is really the privately run shadow governments, to which the democrats and republicans go to worship. Both parties are crooked and strange so it doesnt matter what party you think is looking out for you. The only thing they are looking out for is getting reelected and getting the cash flowing. You gotta love the American political system. Presidential elections cost over 300 million dollars to campaign for? Do you know how many lives that money could save, in Darfur for example? So you are wrong in your question dude. It is not the republicans or democrats who want to change the world for the better. It is people like me and you, who sadly have no voice or power to inflict any change....
boo-hoo--- ill just drink beer every night and watch sports to make me feel less guilty....
