They were in charge by a huge majority and never changed anything they stood for like Abortion and Gay marriages. So why is it the Democrats fault that they continually fail? The American public made it clear (outside of the continual propaganda) that we are sick of them. If the rest of the corrupt Republican Senators were up for reelection in 06's election they wouldn't be there now. Why does Bush think he is still being backed when there isn't anyone there? Don't you like it when Pelosi had to remind George Bush that they aren't in charge anymore in Congress? Feel free to add any more to this situation, thanks.

Droopy , the count of dems to reps doesnt change my opinion of right and wrong.. Do you really thing that most people have a finger in the wind personal belief compass?
If there was corruption and they are gone good riddance to them. I wont argue with that at all.
But do not believe that because I for one dont support those guys that were corrupt now means that I support some of the nuts and their agenda that have tried to apply their will in congress now.

The executive branch is still controlled by a republican. The Congress cannot really do much to stop Bush except maybe cut off the money which they won't do with 2008 looming. The democratic majority in congress is not big enough to override a presidential veto. So at best it is a stalemate.
The President has all the cards but he is a poor poker player (read "politician") and is not nimble enough to exploit the advantages being president gives him. He could learn a lot from watching tapes of Clinton or Reagan.
Regarding the failures by the democrats on Gay marriages, etc. is that 2008 election is down the road and they are playing to the center not the left. You have also witnessed the republicans go to the center especially on Iraq.
Our two-party system is based on power politics. This system is for winning and losing and not about what is right or wrong.

A better question would be why did the Democrats forget how they won their minute majority in Congress last year and not keep a single promise that they made? I'll be happy to add more, seeing as you have absolutely no idea of what you're talking about.
"We'll work with Republicans instead of against them" HOGWASH, AS EVIDENCED BY YOUR OWN NANCY PELOSER QUOTE.
"We fully intend to work 5 day work weeks" THAT HASN'T HAPPENED ONCE YET, NOT ONCE!
"We'll have a spirit of bi-partisanship" SO THEY ATTACK THE ATTORNEY GENERAL OVER A NON-ISSUE TO CAMOUFLAGE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DOING NOTHING AND ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING.
"We'll be fiscally responsible" AND STICK 20 BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF DEMOCRATIC PORK PROGRAMS INTO THE TROOP FUNDING BILL.
I got some news for you Sparkey. I seriously doubt that the dopey dems have much of a chance of retaining their slim margin of of a majority past the next election considering that they have again proven that they wouldn't know the truth if it slapped them across the face, and they can forget about the White House if they continue to back that pack of losers headed up by the only First Lady in our history to have been under criminal indictment.

Pelosi also wants to tax 100% of the profits made on Wall St. That would be everyone here with a 401 K at work. She is a Socialist, proud of it, and going to singlehandedly destroy the Democratic party

They can't change either except to put them where they belong in the separate state jurisdictions. Neither are or should be federal issues. Supreme court ruling does not make law no matter what you think. The supreme court can only decide if a law is constitutional or settle rulings from lower courts .That they over step their bounds is disgraceful that it is allowed is unconstitutional.
As we will soon be sick of power mad Democrats .

As one who jumped ship I disagree. Nancy made promises and the Blue Dogs too.
In the hopes they would hold true [and stick to their promises] they were elected.
Now we see it is just more of the same. More lies, more graft more pork and to add icing to the cake [for the conservatives] it now has a liberal flavor to it all.
Well 08 will be here soon enough, then the Blue Dogs will see what it cost them when they lied.

I suppose you think it was a landslide? Everyone knows that government is slow to get things done. Personally, I think that there is a difference between people "not standing" for something anymore and just being "persuaded" into thinking about something that they have no idea about. A record number of 18-24 year olds voted in that election. Hmmmmm.

You are wrong. I remember why we lost both houses. It is mainly due to arrogance that the Democrats had in the early 90's.
In 2008, we are going to regroup and gain a couple of seats. In 2010, we shall control one house. This is a long process but it shall be done.

Republicans lost ..So whats your point?
I can guarantee if the war in Iraq wasn't still going Republicans would have won again...The democrats only won because America was pissed at Bush..Not because America all of a sudden turned into a liberal socialist state.
