Good morning America and welcome to a Democratic controlled House and unless some weird re-count issue in Virginia and Montana a Democratic controlled Senate.... I just can't wait for the Republican spin on this.

Oh, you haven't heard? They've been setting it up for weeks now. Losing one or both of the majorities will help (ahem), "Recharge their batteries, refocus their efforts to return traditional values America and restore the GOP to a more organized, galvanized party."

Apparently it seems they felt they had too much control and this change is just what they needed - just ask Ann Coulter.

Re: Tick Tock Tick Tock

Well, anyone who pays attention to anything I've written in this forum in the last few years will know that I'm just pumped this morning. The party is officially over for Bush and his cronies. I feel as though a great weight has been lifted.

We can probably expect that the Senate situation won't be hashed out right away, but that isn't really all that important, imo -- the key was eliminating the rubber stamps, which was done by taking the house.

Re: Tick Tock Tick Tock

What amazes me is how close the races have been the last few years. It seems that each election time has some recount involved.

the last two amind's have polarized the country with the ''us or them'' attitude, and nothing is getting done. we have literally become 50/50 and half the place will never be happy, unless we stay where we are now and keep 80% unhappy.

well, at least for the next 4-6 years, we will have nothing, as opposed to a lot of wrong outside the economy.

i cant beleive harold ford lost, i mean, i didnt want him to win b/c he openly revealed he was a party line guy, as opposed to what he was campaigning on, but wow im schocked, everyone was saying he would take the state easily. the only other one im not happy about is santorum. he stayed out of military and security chairs, and stuck with social service aspects, and he was great on the council, he rammed through the bills on autism, stem cells, welfare re-adjustment..... shame, he was one of the good guys in the discrace we have in DC>....


boy the last 3 year have been shitty, but the slide stopped, but i dont think any positive movement will happen for awhile, we're gonna see some petty retribution for awhile.

Really? Of the toss-up states, I thought that was the one the Dems were least likely to pull off. That negative campaigning took its toll in the last week or so, and he was solidly down in the polls...

the only other one im not happy about is santorum. . . . shame, he was one of the good guys in the discrace we have in DC>....

I don't know that I've ever seen anyone describe Santorum as "one of the good guys." Even though everyone knew he was going to get clobbered going into Tuesday, he was the one guy whose defeat drew a mini-celebration at the Casa de Toasty when it was announced. The guy's views on social issues were beyond archaic. I honestly believe he has a problem with the idea of women working, FFS, and his views on gay issues shock the conscience.

Of course, what do I care -- don't have to deal with his bigoted ass any longer...

stop listening to whatever you are listening to.

vote smart. go there, and look at the bills he put forth, how he voted and observe.

What I'm listening to are the words coming out of this guy's mouth. I don't give a shit what he voted for. He's a monster, and that sort of intolerance is unbefitting of the third most powerful guy in the Senate.

Re: Tick Tock Tick Tock

funny enough santorum and ford the two elections I'm happy about the results. Santorum was a religious freak and ford, well, if that's the direction of the democratic party, we might as well have a two party system made up of the republicans and the republicans light, cause that is essentially what ford is.
