Question

http://blogs.usatoday.com/gallup/2007/06/what_do_hmos_an.html

With the congresses numbers at an all time low, will the republicans be able to sweep the house like they did the last time the people watched the dems try and govern? I hope so. Thoughts?

Oh and look what instutions numbers are the highest!!! Thanks to all the troops.

Show me a source gemini. Nice glasses. It's important to look cool on Yahoo. Dork.

Answer 1

It's a toss up! If the current trend of Amnesty, No Border Protection and no Border Patrol Continue, we are going to see even more dissension between the parties.

This is a real Pork Barrel Fund!
Tax dollars are being wasted in the form of the CDC and Dr Julie Gerdenberger who got $10 Billion dollars of Our money to Fund a Transgendered Beauty Pageant, a safe sex event with a porn star and a bar night with instructions on how to throw a party with lots of alcohol. I like to have fun just like anybody else, but this is ridiculous, when you consider the fact that the money could have been used to save people with much needed medications instead!

Answer 2

People are frustrated because they though they could change the way our government was run by voting in Democrats, but the Judicial system and the Executive branch is still in the hands of the Republicans and no real change is possible without a significant Democratic takeover in 08. Just having a slim majority in one branch, the legislative, isn't enough to change anything especially since Bush keeps issuing executive orders even when they aren't all legal. But his hand picked judicial aides don't have the sense to tell him that and the previously rubber stamp Republican congress never cared. We are beginning to see the oversight of the executive branch by the legislative branch, finally, but it is not dramatic enough to meet the desire for change that the American people thought they had voted for. I don't think you will see a rush to Republicans, I don't think you will see a massive Democratic victory either, I think you will have a slightly wider Majority and a D president. Its amazing you consider a mere six months a precursor of what its like to have a Democratic leadership, realistically, it takes quite a while longer. The Republicans had six years to sleep, lets keep an open mind a little longer.

Answer 3

I think so because the citizens do not seem like they are going to give people a lot of time to correct errors and the Republicans/Independents who voted Democratic will come back to the Republicans and put a new Republican team in place that will keep the conservative agenda unlike the last one.

Answer 4

I don't care which party controls Congress, they are equally corrupt.

The days of "voting for the lesser of 2 evils" must stop. DO NOT VOTE FOR ANY EVIL!!

Even if you think your candidate has no chance, vote your conscience and stand by your decision. Let your mind be at peace and let it be known that at least 1 person believed in the best candidate, even if no one else did.

In 2004, I could not decide who to vote for between Bush and Kerry. I hated them both. I didn't think Ralph Nader was any better, honestly. So I ended up voting for Bush. I have regretted it ever since, and I will never throw away another vote by supporting someone who does not represent my beliefs.

Luckily, this time around there is a great presidential candidate who does represent what I think: Ron Paul.

And for those of you who are shaking your heads and saying Ron Paul has no chance, I would remind you that all through 1975, the governor of Georgia was polling at 1% and 2% in the national polls. In fact, in the last Gallup Poll conducted before the Iowa Primary in 1976, he only had 4% of Democrats supporting him. His name? Jimmy Carter.

Answer 5

There will be a revolution of sorts against the Republicans, that's for sure. If the war is still raging and the scandals and disapproval of Bush's job performance are as they are now the Republicans can bend over and kiss their own butts bye-bye. Check out the following stats, it seems the Republicans disapproval ratings are higher than the Democrats in Congress. The approval rating for both is well within the error margin - only two points, but the disapproval ratings are clearly higher for the Republicans. You seem to have forgotten Congress consists of Republicans as well.

Answer 6

I dont think so. History has shown a switch of parties at the end of a "war time president's" term. I think it will be a sad loss for Reps. But hey, im no fortune teller. They might rig the elections or something and win.

Answer 7

I dont think so - I think that there will be the lowest turnout in the history of the united states - there is total disgust with both parties as of now - people are very disenfranchised and there is no party left to turn to - and no presidential candidates seem sincere or honest enough to do whats necessary to get the trust of the american people back

Answer 8

It seems like neither side has what it takes to have a revolution of any sort. The state of our politics at the moment is resembles two blindfolded people with ear plugs on trying to chase after each other and hit each with a stick.

Answer 9

conservative corruption and bush error has fragmented the republican party for a very long time to come- barring a major meltdown the Dems will run the show for multiple elections

Answer 10

1) It is too early to tell

2) I think the democrats might lose some seats in 2008 . A lot of democrats I know are extremely pissed for them not being able to stand up to Bush on Iraq yet, the main reason they were put into office.
