Speaking as a Canadian who was very much interested in the American election I just want to say I feel a little safer now that the Republican power base has been diminished.

To many people around the world George Bush is the most dangerous man on the planet and the fact that he has less power today is a good thing.

Interestingly enough the Democratic party would be more apt to align with the the Conservative party here in Canada. Our good neighbours to the south tend to be somewhat more conservative then we Canadians but we plan to keep sneaking over the boarder and spreading our Liberal manifesto. At least until you put up the new Berlin wall on your northern boarder

Canada RULES!

I could not agree more with everything you said!

I'd be a candidate for immigration, Tommy if it weren't so danged COLD in Canada.

Ugh. Here's a Conservative who'd prefer a wall. Sorry, Tommy, I just have a different perspective and the election results are a real dissappointmnet to me, other than the fact that Nancy Pelosi is sheer fodder for the Conservative Talking Heads. Now THAT will be fun. Not that she'll say anything different, she'll just be saying it more often and with a wider audience. Geez, Louise, Cananda can HAVE her! Glad you feel safer, though??? I'm shakin' in muh boots.

I agree with Kathy!! Having all these Democrats in charge scares me more then all the war crap that's going on!!! I am very sad at the election results. :phanvan

Bravo,

Me three. I voted for all of the Bushes all of the times and wished to God he could run again. Can you imagine what kind of shape we would be in right now if Kerry had of gotten in, it's scary. I just pray what ever the Democrats do that they don't mess up all the years of our cleaning up.

I've heard variations of this for a couple of days now, so I'll pick on you a bit and ask what is it that you think will happen that is so scary? I'm honestly curious.

I am torn on this issue. If you look back at the economy, the best times are when Dems are in office, but..... I am from Texas and I am ready for the wall too! Hell, I have lots of energy now, I will come help build it!

Another 9/11, for one. Here's a Liberal, "Oh please Mr. Terrorist, don't bomb us, let's talk about this. I'm sure that you are feeling so disenfranchised these days, what with all of the terrible things going on in Mecca and that evil Israel that shouldn't even be a country, but if you and I could just have a converstion, I'm sure we could work this out..." KaBoooom.

THAT'S scary.

I seem to recall that 9/11 happened on Bush's watch and there were no bombs involved.

Maybe you are referring to the weapons of mass destruction in Iraq that Bush "saved" us from.

Unfortunately, we don't have enough military support to protect ourselves from the ones who really DO have bombs, like North Korea. Everybody's in Iraq, on a liberation mission, since the WMD thing didn't work out.

What Carlene said, AND...that freakin' liberal Kerry actually went to war while Dubya hid out in a safe place daddy found for him.

I'm a liberal...do you have any doubt that I'd be willing to kick ass if someone got invaded MY space? thing is, being that I actually showed up for military duty and worked in a branch of Military Intelligence, I'd try to bomb the shit out of the right country. A major differnece from how the moron in chief did it.

And now...I'm off to console my husband. His good friend had to leave work early today when the news arrived that his son was just killed in Iraq. National Guard...yup...that's what HE signed up for.

I don't care who you are, that just stinks. I'm sorry Sue.

mysherrijo -

Just curious as to what the republicans cleaned up that the democrats are going to mess up. Apparently, your diehard republicans turned against their own party en mass.

Actually, it wasn't the republicans that turned agianst the party, it was the undecided idependants who sided with the dems. The problem with the rep party was they were all trying to show how liberal they were. Well, you know what: If you get up and say how the war is bad and Bush is bad and look how liberal we are so vote for us, the electorate is going to say: You're right. Liberal is better, so lets vote for the real liberals.

The exact same thing happened two years ago. All the Democrats were on board with the war, all pro-national security, all patriotic - all conservative. So the electorate voted conservative.

This is election was in no way unusual. It is extrememly common and even expected to lose house seats in a non-presidential election. All this will do is show America how liberal policies hurt the country in the long run before the "big" election in '08. It will be a pain to have a vindictive and petty congress until then, but it's a price that has to be paid.

(Guess which side I'm on )

Here, here, Lady Janey! Well said, and I agree!

It will be a pain to have a vindictive and petty congress until then, but it's a price that has to be paid.

But Clinton's lame duck Congress was neither vindictive nor petty, right? I guess it was the only thing that kept the whole damn country from going to hell in a handbasket. PLEAAAAAAASE.
