The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
With Democrats taking control of the U.S. House of Representatives, what do you think will be at the top of their agenda? What do you think should be on the agenda?

More government give aways. They will try to push medicare to the breaking point by increasing the already unsustainable medicine insurance program. They will also take a swipe at small businesses by increasing the minimum wage.

The Dems won’t lead using fear. The Repubs had their chance to sway the country to a conservative direction but they ruined it by becoming greedy. Democrats know how to govern, Rebublicans don’t.
The Dems will add checks and balances, as envisioned by our (all of our) founding Fathers.
The country is sick. The Dems will make it well again.

All I can say is that it is about time and I am sure the Democrats will do a fine job.

and i thought with your title that you knew what their agenda was….no plans, no ideas and the only thing they consistantly agree upon is they hate bush and republicans…so much for the party of compassion and inclusiveness. i heard their constant complaints but have yet to hear any solutions or even a hint at a solution…when are they going to unveil their answers to all our problems created of course by only the republicans…i have no problem with them winning its the fact they have no clue as to what to do next that bothers me, this nation needs strong and decisive leadership and unfortunately the democrats are offering up nothing. its going to be a long two years.

The election cycles of 2008, 2010, and 2012 must now be the Democrats’ singular focus.
Georgia Democrats must zero in on winning the first US Senate seat to be lost to a Republican: Saxby Chambliss. This seat is up for grabs in 2008.
Democrats MUST find a suitable candidate and groom him or her. They also must begin NOW to raise a war chest that can compete with their opponents.
This will NOT be a time for symbolic and unseasoned candidates like Denise Majette, who had a Congressional seat given to her. Only to abandon it after one term and now has become a professional ‘losing’ candidate.
The Republicans like Perdue and Cagle in the old South would have been Dixiecrats and their politics is testimony to this. Progressives must begin now to strategize and get the funding to make Georgia competitive again for Democrats.
There is no where for Democrats to go, but up!

Agenda? Who said anything about an agenda? We only campaigned by complaining about the Republicans. Nobody ever said we had to have a solution or an agenda for anything!!!
Hey everybody, check out the aljazeera website. The terrorists on their blogs are having a celebration and thanking Americans for making their job easier. Check it out if you don’t believe me.

I think that after being out of circulation for eight years the new elected and the veterans democrats will appreciate the challenge they have been granted. I believe that they will work to stay focused on the needs of the people that elected them

I think that the number one priority of the Democrats now that RUMSFELD has resigned should be to GO AFTER BUSH. Give him HELL like they did us when Clinton was in office.
