I wonder how many voters have buyers remorse right now.

Just wait until the "conservative" Democrat freshman House members show up for their first meeting on Capital Hill. Just about everything they campaigned on will be out the window.
Better stock up on ammo, mags and short guns while you can.

Exactly.
I do not think the next two years will deliver the results and voting record that we advertised or expected by the constituents.
As I predicted, I hope that this will reflect in the 2008 race and the voters do not buy another pig in a poke.
And I pray that the POTUS has the huevos to use the veto pen when necessary.

Looks as though I may need to make a decision on an M-4 clone while there is still a decision which can be made.

I suspect that POTUS is looking at the bright side. At least now he can push his amnesty plans through with little opposition. Or is that the cynic in me talking?

He also hasn't had a completely Dem-controlled congress before. I expect (hope) that he will not be as reluctant with the veto as before.
It will be interesting to watch voter opinion of the Dems as they reveal their plans. I can't imagine it will do anything but help Repubs in '08. We'll see...

If they're smart (big assumption) they won't show their colors, they'll stick with how they got to the dance: hammer the GOP on corruption, slam the efforts in Iraq and promote stem cell research. These are all issues that resonate with Independents. If they take the long view for the next two years (appear reasonable, no personal attacks on the President, try to get Mideast peace talks on track, avoid raising taxes) then they'll get the Presidency in '08. That'll be when it gets interesting.

Surely you jest.... as "House Speaker-to-be nancy pelosi" you need not wonder if they're going to show their colors......

Remember the kiddy TV show "ROMPER ROOM"??
The House will be renamed "Ms Nancy's Romper Room".

I agree. Their radical base will flip out (even further) if they don't start moving with a liberal agenda. I think they stretched their base as far as it's going to stretch with the run to the center in '06. Now it's time to pay the piper.
Well, I know what I am going to do for the next few months.:D
While I'm extremely disappointed in the election results. I don't think the Dems, particurly the more liberal part of the party is going to get what it wants. While they do control the House and Senate, it is by slim margins. What won the Dems so many seats was by running on Conservative principles, keeping the Liberal leadership/agenda out the media as much as posible and most importantly... failure of the Republican majority to act like one.
While the majority of the media....for lack of better words "G@#D@#&&$@$ Commies, Socialists , fools and some of the most ignorant, no common sense, clueless idiots there is.:mad: (mild rant). They are not friends of Conservatives to say the least. But we did not get our message out, though we did in 94, 00 & 04.
Also there was a defeatist attitude, ie "we don't think we will lose the Congress". Politics like war, demands an offensive spirte. If the Republican Congress had done several things like "Make tax cuts perment, delt with illegal immigration for example, corruption (to include Reids $1.5 million land deal, Rep Johnson (?) $90,000 in cash his freezer). But NNNNOOOO, we were too dammed worried about losing to take the fight to the enemy. So here we are.
I do believe we are in for 2 years of fighting, hearings, threats of impeachment and smearing of Republicans & Conservatives. I do not believe the Dems will get much done .
This is going to suck, but 08 is are just around the corner.
Back to lurking, drunken rant over.
The American people are going to get exactly what they voted for. Most "sheeple" voted on one issue--Iraq and did not consider all the wonderful entitlement programs the Dems will give us. Oh and by the way the Hilary Clinton heath care plan (aka socialist healthcare) is starting to raise its ugly head again. It is also a good bet the Dems will gain the White House in "08 unless they remind people over the next two years that their brand of socialism is unsound and has failed everywhere it has been applied.

Actually most exit polls said that for independent voters corruption was their number one concern followed closely by Iraq. The people screaming loudest about Iraq were always going to vote for Pelosi et alia. The Republicans lost control of Congress because they forgot who they were.
In any event I suspect the people who voted for "change" aren't going to get any real changes just more of the same in different clothes. They will however find, in fairly short order, that the party now in control of Congress is no clue how to handle Iraq. They offered the American public no ideas on how they would approach dealing with Iraq. Instead we got a steady diet of charges that the Repbulican's screwed things up. They asked for the responsibility and they got it regardless if they can actually handle it. When they screw it up history won't be very kind to them as it will be to the crew that they replaced. Sadly, that failure will come at the expense of the American people.

Most exit polls are historically inaccuarate as only a small portion and type of voter chooses to partake. I know I was not given a chance to participate in an exit poll where I voted. While corruption is/was a huge issue corruption is a part of every election as politicians have been known to be slime. People expect corrupt politicians. Iraq is the dominating situation and the media successfully depicted it as a quagmire with no light at the end of the tunnel.
Agree 100% that the Republicans forgot who they were and was a major contributing factor for the ass whoopin. Hopefully they will wake up and go back to the conservative ideas that got them 2/3 branches of government.

And that "darling Nancy" considers what is going on in Iraq as a "situation"... Not a war...a situation. :rolleyes:

Exit polls are historically inaccurate when it comes to predicting the outcome of an election. They are not inaccurate in identifying peoples motivations when voting.
