| List all the terrible things a Democratic House/Congress will do once elected in '06 I just want something, for the record, on all the horrible things you guys think will happen I am here mostly for record keeping, lets see what you guys predict, ill save the thread, and in a year or so we can all look back and see how right or wrong we are Ok, so far, the only bad thing they will do is "try to impeach bush and waste millions of dollars" As far as I can tell, thats the only bad thing they are likely to do. Am I wrong? Are there other dire predictions people can add? | ||||

| You're really confident that the Dems are going to win both Houses, this could come back and bite you on the ass considering we're still 2 months out from election day.  That said... Pass a Universal Health Care package that will further bankrupt future generations.  | ||||

I think chances are good that if the Dems win the House, they'll hold onto it through at least the 2010 election cycle.  | ||||

| universal health care is the big one (this will be a disaster) minimum wage is another (WTF is congress doing nationalizing something that is so local?) the buying votes by redistribution of wealth in whatever new scheme they dream up I'll think of more as time goes on | ||||

| as we've said, universal healthcare will be vetoed, and it would be impossible for the democrats to get 2/3rds of the senate minimum wage, ok ill guarantee thats gonna happen So we have two: Possible impeachment hearings Minimum Wage increase bill (likely to be signed by Bush) Anymore? All those years of worrying about liberals...cmon you guys can come up with more than just that | ||||

| Ok so Jack Murtha is going to (in the House, somehow) block the patriot act and "survelance" also he is going to block nominees to the SC, Bush is going to vote to repeal his own tax cuts, repeal the patriot act, the UN controlling our entire foreign policy (and border) Ok, so we have Ballz's predictions (lets see how they pan out) is anyone else backing him on this? | ||||
