Independent voters broke heavily for Democratic House candidates Tuesday, as more than half of voters overall told pollsters they disapproved of the war in Iraq and the president’s job performance.

More broadly, the poll captured a pessimistic mood among voters, with more than half saying the country is on the wrong track. Fewer than a third of respondents said they believe they are better off financially than they were two years ago.

Incompetence has been rewarded.

Better, I suppose to show the Republicans driving off a cliff than to show them in a trainwreck or in the Titanic, although when this election is completed two years from now, it will seem like the wreck of the Titanic.

Good Morning mike!

As promised, here are your yesterday-words (and mine) to eat with your morning cereal. {:-)

And I quote:

“November 7, 2006 09:02 AM, mike wrote:

It’s amazing to me that despite all of the anti-Bush, anti-Republcain sentiment, the Dems can’t even take back the Senate and might not even win the House. This just demonstrates that most Americans hold Democrats and liberals in contempt. What a bunch of losers.

I’m saving your comment for tomorrow. I will reprint it again. This is the first time I have felt some hope for a regime change. I think you are whistling in the graveyard of the NeoCons.

Now, for your labeling those with whom you disagree as “losers.”

Who lost Osama bin-Laden?”

So there are your words (and mine), mike: Eat up! Enjoy!

Now the thought for the day (to go with our yesterday words):

The regime hasn’t changed because the current president has no reason to change (he never makes mistakes, remember?). However, the majority of the folks he needs to deal with HAS changed significantly. I have no hopes that he will change, but I now have hopes that some change in the disaster in Iraq may occur, for the sake of the Iraqi people and for the sake our own troops.

Almost as many of our own troops have died in the invasion and occupation of Iraq as the number of those who died in 9/11, and Osama bin-Laden is still on the loose.

So for me, although I am delighted that the current president’s party has had a significant loss, I don’t think of them (or YOU, mike) as “losers.”

You folks just got what the Bible promises (Galatians 6:7-8), because you didn’t follow Paul’s advice (Galatians 6:9-10).

By Paul

I say this not taking sides:

Let’s watch and see how the Democratic majority conducts itself. No more excuses of “we didn’t even introduce this legislation (such as Medicare Drug price competition) because we knew it’d never get out of committee.” The ball’s in your court. No backtracking or reneging with the excuse “we didn’t put our hearts into this because we knew the President would veto and we don’t have the votes for an override.”

Democrats now have the responsibility they’ve wanted. Let’s see if they keep the commitments and are willing to take the accountability.

Two years from now, let’s see if things are much different.

This should be very interesting.

To believe that the Republicans politicos are evil and corrupt and the Democrats are without sin is like believing that Clinton “did not have sex with that woman”, or “did not inhale”. Be real; both sides suffer from the same weaknesses, it’s just a matter of who gets caught. If you don’t think Nancy and Hillary have some skeletons in their closets that would get them bounced you’re simply incapable of accepting the fact that the spectrum of human behavior has no party affiliation.

Truer words were never spoken.

However, the folks that WERE in the majority in Congress liked to pretend that your words aren’t true, in order to gain the support of the Pharisees of the Christian Conservative Right.

Remember the Party of Christian (traditional/family) “values?” My hope is that the NEW majority won’t be quite so hypocritical, but since your words are true, maybe not.

Anyway, the current president is in a new ballgame. Perhaps the former “owner” of the Texas Rangers will learn to “play ball” with the new majority. But then again, maybe not.

The disaster in Iraq is not a “game.” Something needs to be done to get our troops out of harms way. My hope is that the new majority can pull it off, even given the “spectrum of human behavior” and a current president who doesn’t believe your words as they apply to him (he has never made a mistake, remember?)

My battlecry remains the same:

Get our troops out of Iraq on a timetable set by the Iraqis (not set by the U.S.), and NOT ONE MINUTE LATER!!

Of course not.

But I am as optimistic as I have ever been, since Nixon resigned anyway, that our elected leaders MAY just take the lessons of the past few years to heart.

9/11 showed us all that for a brief moment in time, we can come together as one nation. We can put our mutual resolve to effecting the changes that best move this republic forward.

The onus is as much on the dems as on the gop now. If they also squander this chance to solve problems, and remain steadfastly partisan, the wheel will again turn.

If, however, they seize the day and put grudges and self interests aside, if they join in resolving immigration, security and fiscal issues, much good can happen in the next two years.

Given a goodly number of new Democratic Congressmen/women are pretty moderate (in some districts, an important factor in defeating an incumbent Republican) we’ll see just how the interaction goes with the new Speaker. It may temper apprehensions of Republicans - and prove quite frustrating for the new leadership.

I’d like to toss out a semiserious proposal for our new Speaker. A previous poster noted there’s not a lot of time to produce results. That’s true. We have but a few months until we file our 2006 IRS forms. So -

Speaker Pelosi, given there won’t be substantive tax changes for a while, perhaps you’d like to set the example, doing not just the minimum the law requires, but doing what is consistent with your pronouncements. So, when you compute your taxes this year, perhaps you could compute them at the pre-tax cut rate. Better yet, perhaps you could dissolve your family trusts, designed to shield assets from tax. If not that, maybe you could compute the value of your trusts’ assets and freely offer to pay taxes at the highest marginal tax rate you’ve cited as “fair.” Senator Kennedy may want to join you in this and set an example of fair action for the rest of the Congress.

Then, while you’re introducing legislation to raise the minimum wage (which should have an excellent chance of passing) perhaps you could set the example for livable wages and worker rights by allowing your farm workers at your vineyards to form a union, without getting fired as they have in the past.

Accountability and personal example can be just a tad problematic, can’t they?

Osama is dancing in his cave right now. They are in the process of planning another attack, and it will more than likely happen within the next couple years becuase the “new” congress is going to be too busy doing other things, like outlawing tag on the playgrounds, and dodgeball in gym… Oh I feel soooooo much safer!

“For the next two years, the Rethuglicons will do everything they can to prevent legislation from passing and paint Democrats as liberal terrorist-loveing (sic) , Christian-haters, tax and spenders. Just because they now control the House doesn’t mean they have a mandate.”

Are you saying the Republicans will be “obstructionists?” LOL!

Sorry, progressives do have a mandate. Progressives won all over the US. Moderate religious suck-ups like Ford lost. Progressives and liberals won.

Nancy Pelosi is two heartbeats away from the presidency, and one of those hearts beating is on borrowed time! LOL!

What scares me most is this: Islam is growing at a rapid pace. Their hatred of ANYTHING and ANYONE non-Muslim is profound and ingrained from earliest childhood. As the daughter of a suicide-bomber said on TV the other night “these people will not rest, EVER, until the flag of Islam flies over Washington and London.” As much as the Dems want to call this “scare tactics”, it is fact. 9/11 was not a “scare tactic”…and the fact that we have not been attacked again since 9/11 was the best reason of all not to change things in Washington. But the short attention span of the average American produces such results, where 9/11 is now a distant memory to be forgotten. Like it or not, today is a victory to the terrorists, who will undoubtedly be emboldened by the results.

Luckovich, get off your liberal high horse and draw a cartoon about how few liberal bed-wetting mamas boys and girls there are in Georgia. Get out of the AJC kingdom and find out about the rest of GA outside of ATL, which is Republican. Draw a cartoon about the The “Fat Guy” that ran Governor and got his butt kicked back to Albany. Why don’t you also draw a cartoon about the Dems driving off a cliff in the GA election.

Since “non-partisan” commentators like John Stewart and Luckovich just attack “whoever happens to be in power”, I’m sure we’ll start seeing a bunch of cartoons and Daily Show segments criticizing Nancy Pelosi. I’ll start hlding my breath now.

Watch how quickly the liberal media’s tone towards government will change. Watch Lou Dobbs and Jack Cafferty start to give the government a break. Watch for rabid partisans like Cynthia Tucker and Jay Bookman start absolving Cngress of any responsibilty for America’s problems.

In short, let’s sit back and watch liberal bias in action.

Ray…your understanding of Islam is sheer horseshite…you should know that your problem is with Moslem extremists who are similar to the old KKK. Mainstream Moslems (and Christians) are generally tolerent of others.

OK then Andy. Riddle me this:

The war costs _. I’ll say ~$340BILLION DOLLARS. I’m sure you have your own #’s…. feel free to use THAT #.

In order to PAY for this clusterfu… I mean WAR… it takes tax dollars. Yes? Correct? Am I talking in a foreign tongue?

HOW exactly do you expect the all wise and all knowing ‘Shrub’ to pay for it all then, if NOT to raise taxes? Did you have an extra billion lying around somewhere? Does ol’ Gee Golly Dub? Anyone?

Bush was exactly right: “The Democrats are still determined to raise your taxes, and if they gain control of the Congress, they can do so without lifting a finger.”

Dems ARE determined to raise taxes. How else does the largest quagmire in HISTORY get paid for? I don’t see Halliburton ponying up the dough. Its got to be paid for SOMEHOW right?

What is the Repugnicant line? How does $340BILLION get paid? Do we run out to Texass and shake the trees on Daddy’s lawn and watch cash fall to the ground? No? Surely there’s a plan in place. All wise and knowing Gee Golly Dub has the cash hidden away for pre-2008 election days? It will magically appear and this “war” will be paid in full and Repugnicans everywhere will rejoice! The great and clever ‘Shrubby’ has saved us again!… YEAH. Right.

Go ahead. WOW me by NOT answering a thing I’ve posed to you… I’ll be shocked right along with everyone else reading this.

You’re “all blow and no go” just like every other Hannity/Rush/Kimmer windbag out there. You can p!ss and moan and whine with the lot of them but do you EVER actually SAY anything? I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say…. NAHHHHH.

To Progressive Patriot,

Your comment, “Georgia will unfortunately stay Republican until we get serious about educating our children,” seems to ignore history. We’ve been 49th or 50th since the Talmadge administration. I’ve seen little or nothing that would persuade me that Sonny is willing to make the radical changes needed to get out of the bottom tiers. To attempt to do so would mean fighting the biggest, nastiest lobby in the state: the teachers union. The teachers don’t want to change because more of them would have to be literate in order to advance the state, and the teacher’s union could not stand for that.

I just learned of an incident in which people of color were denied the right to vote. My dear friend and her retired disabled military spouse had voted in the previous election and had not moved but their records were somehow lost. With them were two other black military retirees. I might add that this was in a predominantly republican district with a tight “House” race. One of those denied managed to get home and back with her registration card in time to vote; the other four were not even allowed to cast a provisional vote. Complaints have been filed, but their constitutional rights have been denied in this election.

WHAT IS NEXT?

Early this morning the Professor called me.

“You are still young and increasingly rich so that you can afford a taxi ride here and enjoy a first class breakfast. The election results deserve some serious commentary.”

I would not miss a session with the Proff on a date as important as the day after the elections of 2006.

Just to look at the table that Antoine, the Professor’s majordomo had prepared, almost erased the purpose of the visit. There was a tray with two pitchers of fruit juices and one with the nixtures favored by the Professor that included a blend of exotic fruit juices laced with Champagne. The table had fruit cocktail cups, small bowls with yogurt enhanced with small pieces of dried fruits, an enticing cheese plate, scrambled eggs kept warm on the elaborate frying pan, separate pans for Canadian Bacon, sausages, thin slices of Hungarian blood sausage, and the filet of sole gently fried in butter with champignon and chopped onion, and encouraged with white wine, asparagus tips and selected herbs.

“Well, Professor, the Dems are in. Now what?”

‘You really want to hear?”

“The breakfast has prepared me to hear the best and the worst. Let us have it Professor!”

Without preamble, he began listing the pending matters that the new congressional arrangement will have to face, and hopefully, review, rectify, resolve or improve. It took him about five minutes to list them all, or most of them.

“Professor they’ll need five consecutive terms to accomplish a fraction of the items you mention!”

“I am not implying that they act upon everyone of them. I am simply drawing a blue print. Remember the Egyptian Pharaohs, who dominated civilization for a good while, had a board of specialists that did nothing but enumerate matters that had to be considered. Their motto: ‘You can never solve the problem if you do not look at it”

“Dou you really think so, Professor?’

Of course. If you don’t believe me, ask your doctor!”
