BE prepared...

...for the overall story to change. The things you begin to hear in the media, the things you begin to read on the net, the overall assessment of the state of affairs is suddenly going to sound bright, cheery, and good. Now that the Democrats have power, suddenly the economy is going to be going well, Iraq is turning around, and our country is loved by everyone!!!!

Just watch...

You are really upset about this whole thing huh? Don't worry. They are all politicians. There will still be corruption scandals. There will still be gay people getting exposed. Lobbyists are still in washington peddling bribes for favors.
Partisan bickering will still be the rule of the day.

Not upset; as I've said before, it was expected. I was upset a long time ago.

I'm just trying to make predictions; keep people aware, and see how predictable this game can be.

Hey, if they force the President to adopt policies that actually do begin having an effect of change on the country, they deserve the credit.

It's looking a bit like Bush has benched Cheney and is now looking to his father for guidance during the last 2 years of his term.

It looks like the neocons have had their shot and failed quite honestly. I don't know that they'll retake power over true conservatives and moderates

I'm afraid of Bush doing their every bidding in an attempt to avoid conflict. He'll be totally pussified if that's the case.

We don't want to country to change too much! Especially with the economy. Let's keep it where it's at which is pretty damned good!

He always wanted to be a uniter and not a divider

I think this is a good development. Bipartisanship is the way progress is made. Neither side is 100% satisfied, but the people don't wind up with the close minded myopic policies that have riddled the last 6 years of his Presidency.

If Cheney is out and 'ol 41 is in, we'll see a return to pragmatism that will benefit everyone.. while I don't agree with 41 on everything, he's much more moderate and sensible than the neocons.

That's what his dad did. He promised no new taxes. Then the democrats pushed, and pleaded and begged and bargained and finally Bush Sr., trying to reach across the isle, agreed. What did that get him? A lifetime of teasing by the Democrats he tried to work with who can do nothing but mock him with "Read my lips, no new taxes " quotes. Sometimes it just doesn't pay to give in. And that was a big one.

Well they will be the opposite of what you said then. Fox news was already doing what you were saying the rest of the main stream media would do. So now that control has flipped I would expect that thier spin would also change no?

Don't worry, I'm sure Repub's will ruin it with someone getting a blowjob, or maybe that Pelosi dyes her hair and is really a red head.

I think he believes that you want to US economy to tank with new minimum wage and other liberal laws passed...

And with the Democrats having a big hand on national security, you want a big disaster to happen so you can blame it on the Democrats running the House and Senate
