How does winning three of six seats give them a Senate majority?
- jevad0
Oh yeah - there are also thousands of people still standing in lines in Denver because of a total SNAFU with the polling books...
- mrdobolina0
it doesnt, they wont take the senate. but the margin is tighter and the house changing will definitely effect the senate.
the daily show is great tonite and live.

hahah yeah - TDS is sweet tonight

I heard something about it being a combined Colbert-Stewart sort of thing tonight... anyone know?
I can't wait to get it off the torrent sites, or watch it on pleb TV here in 2 days time...

so you don't like what republicans are doing......fine....but I heard nothing nothing nothing about what dems are going to do about it...... no plan......it was all about......just dont vote republican because you are then supporting bush.....if you dont support bush....vote democrat..

If the Dems pull this out you just watch what that "lame duck" does...

You need 2/3rds..... so it doesnt matter anyway..... and just because you put things through on the house.....doesnt mean the senate will put it through (see clinton impeachment)So...IT ALL DON'T MATTER FOLKS......but yall that got new local democrat leadership..... get those wallets out.....cause your taxes are going to go up...
So ..... america voted for a new direction....... this is what everyone is saying......great....what is the direction? get out of iraq? then what?
I am sure Hillary when she gets in is going to be really hard with China on trade, Iran/N.Korea with nukes, the EU becoming a real union....
So now when shit doesn't change in the next 8-10 years with Democrat leadership .....democrats will blame the republicans for the mess they left...... instead of a consistent direction.... we are all over the place ...
The Clinton era was prosperous because Reagan and Bush Sr. did their jobs.... militarily and economically.... Clinton walked into the ride uphill...... because Clinton didn't take care of business.... didn't take care of a lot of the military things he had the chance to..... we were on our way down when Bush Jr. came into power.
So..... maybe republicans have made a lot of mistakes (yes Iraq) but in terms of economically things are getting better.....
In terms of our national debt..it hasn't been balanced since WW2 I think.... so that isn't an excuse either..
- liquid0
oh and can someone just define what the new direction is? I just keep hearing about it and I am really excited on knowing what that is?

Holy 2 1/2 hour wait!!
It was kind of funny watching all the gay sex and joint smoking taking place in line in Denver. Seriously though that shows how pissed people are at what's been going on in this country that we all were willing to wait. Jevad- you in Denver?

hey ......why don't we get Chavez and the Iranian to run for President..... I am sure it would be a great political battle.....
while we are at it.....we can give the EU one seat on the security council to agree with Russia and China....... Which takes out the E3 so Great Britain, France, and Germany no longer have a separate say....
I am sure democrats are gonna handle this in stride.....looking fwd to how they deal with this....
and if you don't know what I am talking about....

"The Clinton era was prosperous because Reagan and Bush Sr. did their jobs"
AHHAHAHHAHA

hey nic........ it takes a long time for economic things to work through....
and 12 years of republicans and a democratic congress did that....
notice that I give credit where credit is due.....
if anything..... republicans at the top..... democrats in congress seem to be a good mix historically....
- jevad0
ey mog - yeah I'm in Denver. Can't vote though cos I'm not a citizen...but I pay taxes...go figure.
Looks like the lines sucked everywhere...
- liquid0
nic....I give you one thing....for a country that you can't vote in.....you are not an apathetic person which I respect.....at least you care about something with an opinion that makes sense...
and btw.... why aren't you a citizen...isn't your wife american....don't you get it from that?
- jevad0
I get the right to live and work here...and pay taxes...but not vote. I would have to give up my UK citizenship and start taking classes to become a US citizen - and that only after I have been here 3 years.
No thanks!
: )

I think it's a bit odd that felons can't vote either
"If you aren't willing to follow the law, you can't claim the right to make the law for everyone else."
I know a few felons who would have LOVED to have voted in this election
- kyl30
liquid, all due respect but you've got the bush campaign jargon and republican talking points down pat. You forgot to mention how dems plan to wait for the next attack before fighting the terrorists
oh and congrats on being in the megarich class that benefits from bushies tax cuts.

"Democrat Keith Ellison has been elected as the nation's first Muslim member of Congress, taking a House seat in Minnesota."
Interesting...
