While it seems the sun is shining brighter today! And the breeze is blowing sweeter! Democracy grabs hold of our great nation again while attempting to stomp a temporary dictatorship down! The work has just begun! The framework of this extreme faction is still in place! They will have the supreme court for years and years to come! They have rewritten "The American Way" of old. And now we must bring it back! The congress must work to un-do the deep DAMAGE that they have done. The Patriot act!!! throw it in the trash! And then While we are at it pull the "BILL OF RIGHTS" up out of the trash and put it back in its PROPER PLACE. AND No more TORTURE!!!!!!! No more TORTURE!!!!! No more TORTURE!!!!!!!!. The American people have spoken! BRING THE TROOPS HOME> NO MORE BLOODSHED>NO MORE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET> BUSH LOST THE WAR! BRING THEM HOME. If after we get the troops home, Bush continues to act like a DICTATOR .... impeach his ass!

| The AP and NBC News just called Webb the winner in VA. That means a sweep........Both the House and Senate. I didn't imagine both. Maybe if I had just had a magic 8-ball......................................... Prom is right. NOW the work begins. |

| Bulls***, it is time to gloat! JD Hayworth can go back being a 2nd rate sportscaster, instead of a 3rd rate congressman. The conservative ideology can finally join communism on the ash heap of history, for being a complete and utter failure. The best news for Democrats is this; the 2006 Senate elections were already heavily laden with Dem incumbents, the 2008 elections will include all the a******s who came in the 2002 9-11 election, when the Republicans picked up a couple of Blue state senate seats. |

| Phaedrus: Nice call on Pederson, now you can continue to spew hate. Many of the races across the nation won by 5% or less. I don't think the country is as much voting Democrat, I think it's more of being tired of the spending and being mad at Bush for the war and much more. Once again when the presidential election rolls around both parties have week canidates. Hillary will never win, Kerry and Gore are old news. Mccain lost his mojo, Rudy leans pretty far left for the right to embrace, Lieberman leans to far right for the left to embrace, Dean is a nutbar, Edwards is a Lawyer. It will come down to lesser of two evils. Talk to the average voter that does not have the passion that most of you have wasting your life away on this site. Most of them will tell you that they they all are bad and many will vote for the lessor of two evils. I voted for Nader when Bush and Gore ran because myself along with many other voters did not like either. Kerry, Bush was more of the same. Don't tell me that you were all gun ho on Kerry, Bush was the same way. There will be no Clinton type that people rally around for the left and there will be no Reagan type people rally on the right. Just like sports the presidential talent pool is diluted with average people running that will not capture the imagination of the country. I hope Hillary runs because she will get killed, many people are not ready for a female president even if qualified and many more hate Hillary than like her. Either way there won't be huge changes, we all have to get up and make it happen again and again. The right has gotten away from conservative spending and keeping government out of our system and the left has gotten away from helping people help themselves and getting them on their feet to succeed. Instead the right is spending like an out of control gambler and the left wants to give people everything and robbing the rich to give to the poor. Not a good situation either way. So we can all agrue or agree that our party has all the answers when in reality both parties are floundering worried more about gaining power than working together to make this country a better place to live. In my entire life the only time I saw this country truely united was for the 2 or 3 weeks after 9/11 hit. It didn't matter what party we were or who was the president we were all just trying to get through the day and unite as one. Now the left will say Bush screwed that up by taking the eye of Afganistan and the right will say the left would of been to week on terror. Get my drift? And on and on we go. The left hates Kyl the right thinks Napalitano is not doing that great of job. Argue, argue argue. I can't do it anymore. Have fun bashing each others brains out and playing king of the hill. As Einstein once said: "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts." Think about it. Good luck and ask yourself does the person you voted for give a rats ass about you next week. |

| The work certainly begins now, and we have inherited the fixer-upper from hell. I hope Democrats do their upmost to deliver on their promises, and I pray they don't overpromise. We have a Republican minority, we have a presidential veto, and we have some pissed off voters to contend with. As the Chinese curse goes, we now live in interesting times. Tony, please don't give up on us. I think we all speak from experience that a closely anticipated and unexpectedly lost election can really deflate your enthusiam to remain politically engaged. Don't worry though. The tone doesn't HAVE to remain bitter, and the sun WILL rise tomorrow for all of us. Let's try it our way for a while. |

| O.K. gloating is acceptable! Nancy Pelosi is the most powerful person in our government NOW! And if she goes into the neo-con lair all nice and forgiving . . . they are going to try and get away with more murder! Intelligence is the ability to hold two diametrically apposed ideas in mind and still retain the ability to function. She can go in there wanting to get cooperation, but if that vampire sitting next to her (Cheney) thinks he is going to tell her to go f#$@ herself . . . Or if bush thinks he can bulls*** the American people (more than he already has), This little woman needs to be the 10,000 pound monster gorilla in the room! And swing a Hammer so large that Tom (the criminal) Delays' looked like a tiny weenie!!! She has the power to stomp them out existence if they don't behave! And within the framework of the constitution and our United States Laws . . . should.

| First off, I did predict that Kyl would win Posted by: Phaedrus Posted on: 2006-11-06 at 09:56:55 PM Hey now for my 11th hour predictions- House seats, Dems gain 31 Senate seats, Dems win RI, PA, OH, MT, VA, MO, and hold NJ and MD and R's win TN, hold AZ, and Lieberman wins, switches to Republican. Which is a net gain of 6 for Dems. Governors - Dems gain 8 Govs, and control of 10 plus state legislatures. And Tonyd, the point isn't that Kyl won't win, but that after the election he may face an investigation into possible criminal conduct. And if found to have broken the law he may actually go to prison. --- 2nd, since you brought up 2008 Pres race. I disagree on Edwards. I think he is the one guy in the field who can put together a strong race from the Dems- populist message, pro labor, pro american. I hate Hillary, and the rest of the DLC crowd (Gore, Kerry, Vilsack, Bayh), and no one else has the name and money. 3rd, from the Republicans, Gov. Haley Barbour, Gov Mitt Romney, or maybe someone like a Lee Iacoca CEO type - John Snow, or Paul O'Neill or someone of that stature from the Wall Street world. The problem the Republicans have now is they've turned from a southern strategy to a southern only strategy, and they need a Northern Big State Governor to run, and they ain't got many of those. |

Tonight on "Real Time" with Bill Maher, Someone is coming on the show to "out" all of those hypocritical republican HOMOSEXUALS! So tonight we find out who they are . . . And also Should the Democrats impeach Bush for REVENGE? No, the should impeach him because HE IS GUILTY AS HELL!!! |

If you, or we, or they . . . impeach Bush, you have to get Cheney too, can you imagine President Cheney? Wait, isn't he de facto Presidente now? But if you do this, wait until Pelosi is sworn in, she would become President . . . .
Agreed that rendition (kidnapping) and agressive interrogation, or whatever they call it (torture) is bad policy, against our Constitution as well as laws including Congress' incorporation of the Geneva Conventions . . . in addition, my reading is that it seldom works anyway, should be inadmissable in court, etc. I am old enough to recall many cases of police brutality getting confessions also . . . on American citizens . . . and those kinds of excesses led to things like the Miranda decision . . .
Since the Dems won't have a veto-proof majority . . . one of the best things they can do is have all kinds of oversight hearings and Congressional investigations . . . shed light on the "work in the dark Vulcan" crowd . . . as an antiseptic . . . I don't trust the media to do it, as they might have in the past . . .
