Answer 1

Quite a few, see the country wants change. Bush won't change, so we clean his party out. The media is now showing all the republican sacred cows running from bush like a scared child from a wild dog. I for one am so glad a democrat will be elected as president, I could just jump for joy.

People that actually paid attention in school realize that in order to propose changes and to finalize it the executive branch needs to sign it. bush refuses to do so. You cant blame congress for that. Next, clean all of the republicans out.

That's whats going to happen, and that's why all the support for bush within his party is bailing out on him. Self preservation is a politicians best friend, but it's too little, too late.

Answer 2

Q: "How many more Republican Senators will lose their seat due to Bush's blunders and bad decisions?"

A: Probably zero, although some may face fierce opposition in their GOP primaries for other reasons, like brazen support of shamnesty, and patently Demagogue party areas like health care and education, all of which net the GOP zero votes, as the Demagogues will just tell the sheep they would have gotten a juicier freebie if not for "greedy" Republican obstructionism.

Answer 3

They are starting to get really worried about it! In the next year and a half you'll hear many more Republican senators and congressmen distancing themselves from Bush.

You know, Nixon's downfall was when his own party deserted him. GOP leaders in Congress were worried about saving their own sorry butts and it was -they- who decided Nixon had to go. That could well happen with Bush.

The only reason the Democrats haven't tried to impeach Bush is that it takes a supermajority in the Senate to actually throw him out. Without those votes, Bush's impeachment would look like only a nasty poltical vendetta, like Clinton's impeachment looked. But if a handful of Republican senators decided it would be best for Bush to bow out, then he's outta there!

Answer 4

Congress as a whole is sitting at almost the same approval rating as the President. Now the portion of the 38-40 Democrats that backed that lemon of an immigration bill need to hope their constituencies forget about it en masse or that the Republican opponents are total bible thumping conservative unibrows. Otherwise they will lose control again.

Answer 5

With the election pre-season well underway, Republicans running for re-election have already started to distance themselves from Bush... if they lose their seats it because they ignored their constituents at home! And that's what we have to do when the government won't listen to the people that put them in power... if they aren't responsible enough to what's right, we get to vote them out of office ever so often... its a sort of term limits, short of them doing it themselves.

Answer 6

Only the ones who stay on his sinking ship. The mid-terms gave us an idea of how fed up America is with Iraq. I say October/November is the cut off line, after that if you keep supporting this fiasco, you better plan on losing your seat. I say integrity will take a back seat to politics and we'll see a large defection of support for the President.

Answer 7

The election is a long way off. I believe that by then the Dem House and Senate will have shown they have accomplished nothing and there will be a swing back to Republicans. The Dems timing is bad too. They have come out with all barrels against the President and people have gotten tired of it. Should have saved that for closer to the election.

Answer 8

Well, I think there are 49 republican Senators left so that means we need to try to get rid of lets see 100-51, divided by 6.5, carry the 2, and add the square root of 3.87 ok I got it: Forty-Nine! :-)

Answer 9

I would hope that anyone who has continually voted against the wishes of their constituents will be ousted. We need to clean house, folks and being partisan about this won't fix our problems with the beasts who care more about special interests than the do the people whom they're supposed to be representing.

Answer 10

Chi,

If most people would vote out a person doing a good job just because that person is in the same political party as Mr Bush then heaven help us all! Simple-mindedness at its best!
