And yes, the so called mandate was not a "for" for the Dems nearly as much as it was an expression of total frustration with the Republican congress, and to a lessor extent Bush himself, particularly in ignoring the whole boder enforcement thing, or worse putting Mexican citizens security and comfort ahead of americans, by setting "guest worker" programs as the most immediate issue. I'll tell you the truth. If I had known Bush was going to do something that stupid and out of sync with the electorate I would have joined a voters revolt way back when. I was just simply astonished when he did that. - Bang **== - Oh, well I mis-understood.

I see it as a good thing, if, and I admit it's aa big if, the fact they lost scares the Reps into attention. They've acted like they had nothing to fight for ever since they won it all in 2000. They needed a wake up call. Otherwise we'd be looking at two more years of exactly the same do-nothing mess. - You know the Left was always so busy yammering about the Presidents aapproval rating's that hardly any attention was payed to the fact that Congress was mired in even lower ratings than Bush's. that was what you saw yesterday, and it's amazing that none of the pol writers are even mentioning that. - Bang **== sanity I aggree with everything you said except the “the fact that it was that close is bad.” part.

First, the GOP has to learn something from this. It needs to learn how to take a firm stand on border control, and no trying to reach a consensus with the Dems, because the Dems never compromise. It needs to learn how to pursue victory in the WOT aggressively - no half measures - and damn it, state your case forcefully. Are we having successes? Shout them out loud. Are the Dem policies hurting the WOT? Hammer at it every day. Don't leave it up to the MSM - they'll bury it on page B10 if you let them. I'm not sure the current intra-party squabbling among the Dems isn't just so much window dressing. A lot of Dems campaign as anything but leftists, then vote with the extreme left once they get to DC. If, say, Heath Shuler votes like he's from NC and not NY, great. But I'll only believe it when I see it. I think CT and sanity have it right. First, the GOP has to learn something from this.

What is worse for republicans is that they won on nothing, no agenda at all. Republicans allowed themselves to be taken to the cleaners for the most part by democrats with no agenda and no plan. That is why I say I would not be against having an internal investigation on every republican (a investigation only privy to top republicans) so they can make sure that they are squeaky clean coming into the next election, and that top republicans need to have an internal oversight to make sure everything the republicans do are on the up and up, with no hint of corruption that way decmorats have nothing to try and smear republicans with.

Most times the Democrats will vote all the same, where the Republicans will still try and 'reach across the aisle' even though they have been seemingly spat on each time they try that. It is time for the Republicans to grow a spine and not hope for division in the Democrats. Even in he minority, the Democrats acted as hough they were in the Majority and essentially made the Republicans act like they were the ones in the minority. Now this situation is reversed, and dammit the Republicans have ot grow a pair, quit playing namby pambpy politics and get their party cleaned up, get rid of those that will drag it down in the next election. I don't care if they do an in party invesigation on every republican member to make sure they are squeaky clean, so they are prepared to into the next election without the stink of corruption surrounding them and have the democrats use that against them. This should be an eye opener for republicans, get the party cleaned up, get the party ready for the next election, and start growing a pair. Frustrated? Yeah, because in part the Republicans did this to themselves and the Democrats used what the Republicans GAVE them against them to win. They cannot be allowed to do so again. Start cleaning shit up.

It's going to be fun watching the hard Left try to prop up their flagging fortunes, now that the moderate Dems are back in power, and will runaway from the craziness, if they've learned a damn thing after watching the whole mess for the last 6 years. - Watch Dean, Pelosi, Kennedy, and Kerry. they will be the bell weather for how the infighting is going. Nancy has already donned her mask of moderation, so that's probably an early indication right there. Open comments in the press, such as you see coming from the party leadership will be another indicator. - I await the first ideolog's braindead public comment, to watch in humor for the general reaction of the public, once they sense the hard left has been kicked to the curb by it's own party. Will Kerry be able to resist his own ego and keep his feet out of his mouth? Dean was also all "moderate" in his appearence on FOX today. - I think the sobering reaklization that now they've got the whole ball of wax, is tending to dampen the Dems enthusiasm a bit. In a lot of ways, this is going to be fun. - Hey Nancy, why are we still in Iraq? :d - Bang **== - I love the scent of exploding Left-wing heads in the morning.

Overall, I thought most republicans seemed to have integrity that was lacking in the democratic party. I really liked Michael Steele. He looked like a good leader.
