Jimmy Carter was elected to President in 1976 because of the severe backlash of the Nixon administration. Pres Ford was toast when he pardoned Nixon.
Then there was Pres Clinton who was elected on less than 50% of the vote. He won because of the backlash against Pres Bush for his no new taxes pledge, among other reasons. Ross Perot was a conservative and Republican protest vote.
Then we have the midterm elections of 2006. Conservatives voted out Republicans who spent too much and stopped acting like Republicans. Democrats who took Republican seats in most areas took the seats by running as blue dog or conservative Democrats. There were a few exceptions to this, but enough seats were lost because of this that it cost the Republicans the House. It was so bad in OH that they voted out DeWine to allow in a far left Brown.
This sure shows me that American people know that the Democrats cannot effectively lead. Maybe, though not yet, the Republicans will get this.

The hundred hours count down clock to doom will start Monday.
Look for stocks to drop, tax breaks to go away, and overall price increase on everything. God help us all.

Democrats are not able to lead. Look what they are going into office with on their plate. With all thats going on in our country and world that could use their immediate attention what do they focus on but little nonimportant issues that could be taken care of years down the road. These people have no plans what so ever for anything of importance. God help us all!

I don't often say this out loud, but I know with my heart and soul that democrats, "CAN"T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"
Our country is going to suffer because of them, more than they ever realized under President Bush.
The Democrats will become Bush republicans sooner than they think.
It won't be because of Bush, it will be their own fault.

you are deeply in denial.
democrats have controlled the congress for over 40 of the last 60 years.
if bush really expands the iraq conflict and is investigated as he should be by the congress, it is very likely that the republican party as we know it will be drummed out of the usa...
