Why was the Republican majority in Congress voted out of office? Does Prezy Bush even know that the majority of Americans replaced by choice, the Republican majority?

They did not replace the repubs, the repubs just did not go to the polls.
Try studying this, it is a very interesting phenomena, one that will not be repeated in 08, so enjoy the majority for the next 18 months, after that it will be over and there will be a repub in the WH. Finally the pendulum swings to the center again.

Apparently not. The Democratic congress passed a bill with deadlines for withdrawal from Iraq, and Bush vetoed it. The Dems did not have the votes to override his veto.
So Bush supporters sit back and whine that the Dems haven't done anything, but, obviously, the constitution gives the Pres. powers that the congress doesn't have. What did they want Pelosi/Reid to do, ignore Bush's veto and declare martial law?
If they agree with the congress, why don't they bombard the white house with protests of his veto?

Oklahoma went Republican, for, I think the first time ever.
I danced around singing Republican praises . . . pointing out the error of the "dem is for the underdog," historical stump. I know some people listened.
I hope they continue to listen.
As for the national elections: the phrase I heard afterward was "cause I'm sick of it." And I'm sure they will be again, come 08.

The Republicans were voted out because they abandoned their conservative principals. They were spending too much. The Republican base didn't like that so they held them responsible by voting them out.
President Bush has a responsibility as President and Commander in Chief to protect this country. That is what he is doing. Whatever you feel about the way he runs the military, his motivation is the safety of the American people. The President is not bound by mid-term elections of representatives or by polls. He is bound by his responsibility to defend this country. He decides, not Congress, how to do that.

the likely is Joe Biden. The least probably is Obama. Hillary might pull us out of Iraq in 2009, yet she'd probable leave various NAFTA intact. permit's desire that they had all recognize the folly of a North American Union. it truly is organic draw back for the U.S.

Americans can't make up their minds. Simple as that. Americans vote Bush back into office in 2004 to continue doing what he was doing in Iraq and Afghanistan. Then in 2006 they voted republicans out of office and replaced them with democrats that they thought were going to stop Bush from doing what they voted for him to do just 2 years earlier! Just watch.......in 2008 they will vote a republican into the white house when they realize that democrats haven't done any of the things they were voted into office to do!

no.
the american public are way out in front of the politicians on the issue of the iraq war and the war on terror in general.
it seems that regular americans understand far better than our elected officials the full extent of the stakes that are involved.
iraq and the iraq war have nothing to do with 9/11 or getting justice for 9/11 - everyone in the world knows that except the habitual liar politicians in washington.
while we WASTE time, lives and resources in iraq - THE GUYS WHO DID ATTACK AMERICAN ON 9/11 GET OFF SCOT FREE!
only an idiot would support the war in iraq.
never has the door been open so wide for a 3rd party candidate to gain real ground - and not that lazy, selfish ralph nader, but someone who will really work for the american people even though they are not a represented special interest...

Hmmmm, it seems you are confused. Americans sent a majority of Democrats to Congress. If they were sent to oppose the President it is their responsibility, not the President's to back down on his beliefs.

we did not vote for the dems, we voted against the republicans. the dems are doing a lousy job just like the congress before them. not one thing has changed other than the dems take every opportunity to bash our president and have not settled one major issue. bushs' war plan is still on course and all the funding is still there. so other than their political affiliation, it is still the same-only the names have changed.

sure they do know, but politics is an oily thing, and spin is used later to fix things. but don't exclude the democrats from fault here. they are the gutless wonders who won't press the issue and defund the war because they don't want to look like they are soft on terrorism and bush has them backed into a corner with the support the troops rhetoric. in other words, he said dufund the war and I will let them suffer.
did you know that the zogby poll says that nearly 3 out of 4 soldiers in iraq support a withdrawl within a year? we should be patriotic and support our troops on this!
