Has Ms. Pelosi organised mostly 'populist' measures for her 100 Hours Blitz, and can the Democrats as a whole open a new leaf - and indeed answer America's yearn for change?

Y'know, Elric...was talking to my oldest brother who has lived in Phila.since 1979, and he's said the same thing - but added it may need something like this to wake up both Republicans and Democrats...it has been said, however that Pelosi has blundered already - and might find it hard to control her ranks.

The same thing they always do. Blame the republicans for everything, pay lip service to the gullible, pander to the wealthy while singing sad songs for the poor...and basically accomplish squat.
The spent the whole time leading up to the election criticizing Bush, the war, etc...the day after the election they were releasing interviews and such saying things like "There are no easy solutions". No crap. You just figuring that out?

The problem is, the entire congress and senate (republican and democrat alike) is completely corrupt. The dems dare not investigate any corruption too mush as they are just as deeply involved. But what can you do? you have to support one or the other or sit mute? They are (both sides) laughing all the way to the bank. They know that 30% of Americans are stupid enough to support the dems whatever they do, 30% of Americans are stupid enough to support Republicans no matter what and then 20% haven't a clue or don't care leaving another 20% intelligent enough to know better, but without any power to do anything about it!
The Democrats got in on the back of a very high level of revulsion at the corruption in Government and the war. The majority of Americans think that the most important order of business is ending the war now and impeaching the Bush administration for lying the country into the war in the first place.
Before Nancy Pelosi got on she said that impeachment is off the table. Who the hell does she think she is?
The whole american Government need to be impeached including all the congress and senate. The US needs a real fresh start.

All I can say is God have mercy and pray that the President and VP both stay very very healthy...I shudder at the thoughts of that woman being third in line for the presidency...
The Dems need to concentrate on securing our borders and killing a bill that will allow illegals to claim SSI after working 18 months with a bogus social security number (yes people this is happening---the president is set to sign it into law when it passes the house and senate oh and FYI legal Americans must work 10 years before claiming SSI AND last year with these bogus social security numbers the government paid them over 10 billion dollars in income tax refunds!!!) Our country is being run into the poor house by illegals and instead they are worried about raising the minimum wage? God help us all from stupid politicians Dem and Republican.

Convincing her supporters that a vote for McCain or sitting out and not balloting would be 4 extra years of the comparable. yet according to probability extra important, the combination of Hillary supporters and all of the hot voters Obama has further in will quite effect the Congressional elections besides...giving the Democrats a 2/3rds majority and the prospect to put in the two-3 superb courtroom Justices to interchange the retiring Justices. If Hillary supporters do no longer vote for Obama, they are in a position to have no one in charge yet themselves because of the fact the neo-con fundamentalists proceed to objective to legislate "Christian" morality in our properties, colleges, and place of work. awaken human beings...the neo-cons are failing and now may be the time to alter u . s . of america!!!!

We'll see, but Bush got a clear message already that he doesn't have a blank check in Iraq and he needs to stop going behind the backs of Congress if he wants support! Just as the 109th Congress was a rubber stamp, the 110th will not be!

What do you think of the House Budget Rules change?
The rule changes voted Friday could bedevil efforts later to appease middle-class voters.
One rule requires that tax cuts have corresponding cuts in government spending or tax increases elsewhere to pay for them. Likewise, any increase in entitlement programs like Medicare would have to have corresponding tax increases, or equal cuts in other government programs, under the pay-as-you-go rule reinstated Friday. It was adopted 280-154.

Check the executive branch.
The reason we're at war is because Bush had every branch of the government with him.

Only time will tell. I know they have an agenda, but things don't happen that easily in D.C.
