    I'm not really Republican, but I'm definitely anti-Democratic. I voted for no Republican candidates yesterday (except a couple of judges endorsed by the GOP), but I only voted for a single Democrat (David Price, because he voted against the Iraq war and has historically been a good representative).
    didn't you write that you're an anarchist, yesterday? am i wrong or you have a little confused ideas?

    I think the Democratic Party is dying.

    They won with candidates that are very conservative (North Carolina 11, Indiana 8 for example) which is another defeat for liberalism. This is the ultimate battle, not between Republicans and Democrats, but between liberals and conservatives...and the direction that this country is going is clear.

    What's going to happen when the far left of the Democratic party and the moderate, conservative wing sit down and talk about the issues?

    Again, the election was a victory for conservatism.
    And you ask me what I want this year
    And I try to make this kind and clear
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
    Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
    And desire and love and empty things
    Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

    most of them admitted they fucked up and have been willing to be vocal about how poorly it's going. which is better than the republicans who continue to insist no mistakes were made and everything is still roses over there. it's classic dumb and dumber.

    Certainly it's better to admit you fucked up than to pretend you didn't. But I'm not sure how an apology cuts it here, considering the levity of the issue.

    I don't think much will change, at least in the next two years. Nothing really has changed in the last two years with the Republicans controlling everything. So now that the Dems have some control I think there will just be more disagreement.

    This probably is a good thing for Republicans. Hopefully they'll find their soul, and now that the Dems have some power, they'll also have a record to run against in 2008. Hopefully the Republicans will learn how to control a budget again and we can have 1994 all over again.

    I agree 100%. As a Republican, I'm actually kind of glad to see the Democrats in control of something so as to keep some form of checks and balances in place. Other than that, unfortunately, I predict we will see two years of stalemate. By this time in 2008, we will still be in Iraq and Bush will not have been impeached. Honestly, what reason would there be for an impeachment? WMDs? Please. This country has been led to believe for 15 years that Iraq was a nuclear threat. 9/11? Again, put down the bong. My hope is that after this election, the Republican Party will either realize what they have become and make the changes necessary to return us to the party of Lincoln, or, enough of us will be disenchanted enough with the Republican Party to join the Libertarians and make something of a viable third party. It was definitely time to clean house, so let's get to the 1st of the year already and see what our Congress will do for us!!!!

    Cut spending....quit throwing $ away...(yes, including Iraq). I serously think we should take the printing of money away from teh government...privatize it...that way, maybe they stop spending so damn much. ;)

    Oh, but wait...it's much easier to just raise taxes...and disproportionately on the 'EVIL RICH'...let's just do that.

    your boys had 12 years to do that. dont bitch about how irresponsible the dems are when it comes to spending.

    well it shows a willingness to make an effort to correct the mistakes. again, the republicans are still pretending they never made any. who do you want in office? someone stubbornly clinging to direction the world knows is wrong, or someone who's not sure where to go yet but is willing to try something new?

    This is an excellent post. I'd very much like to see Republicans return to their political principles as well. Unfortunately, I doubt this will change anything. The positive changes I hoped for in the Democratic party did not happen in 94.

    Both parties seem very content with running on the other's failures.

    I certainly see your point and I'm not disagreeing. Obviously the person who can recognize a mistake is preferrable to the one that cannot. But neither, based on those descriptions, is necessarily qualified to fix it. And both, based on those descriptions, are still largely responsible for the situation in the first place.

    sadly, you might be close there. the question is, what does conservative mean now? clearly, there's the social thing. but i think there's middle ground there that can yet be staked by either party. the question is, who's consider on the other fronts? is pro-war conservative, or is it isolationism (more traditionally conservative stance)? who's the more economincally conservative now? the republicans talk about lower taxes, but that seems the extent of their fiscal conservatism. i stil think we're seeing a massive shift in party bases in action.

    i think the republicans are holding onto conservative social values, but the dems are becoming more conservative on all other fronts (or so i hope). it will remain to be seen how the parties act from here. i think for a long time the dems were losing becos they were perceived as being on the fringe of american views in terms of social issues (gays, abortion, atheists, etc). it seems the tables are turning though and the republicans are starting to be seen as a fringe party (extreme nationalism, military intervention, corrupt elitism for the wealthy). the repblicans either need to stop beating that patriotic drum so hard and return to reality, or the dems need to start working on their image on values.

    ill grant you the second point, they all bear responsibility for iraq. i think it's a bit early to pass judgment on the first though. we dont know what the dems will do yet.

    I see your point...BUT...

    I'd rather have it be a surprise...wit the Dems I know it's coming, just not when, and I will worry about it 24 hours a day 7 days a week..freaking out,...waiting for it to happen. It ruins my entire day, every day. ;)
