lol. I couldn't help myself as I walked into your well laid trap the other day, you clever bastard!

Hmm. Nutsack.

This is fascinating to follow. And at the same time. Depressing.

No dude. They'll just abort babies all day. C'Mon get the with times.

But on a serious note. It would be nice if there were more brains of different agendas rubbing together. You don't get sparks from rubbing two smooth stones together.

Well I was quite surprised by the Prez' speech this morning... I thought he would have been more reluctant to work with Dem's than he sounded in his Press Conference... I'm somewhat encouraged that HE KNOWS he will be forced to work with both Dem controlled houses of Congress...

or he's bluffing and will keep being GUNG-HO about Iraq... but I hope not...

Here's my prediction:

Before the election: blame for everything was placed squarely on the President and the Republicans, nothing changed.

After the election: blame for everything will be placed squarely on the President and the Republicans, along with the Democrats...nothing will change. Except now we will have more politicians decrying "partisan politics" when things get crappy.

Hello,

Well it looks like Montana is going the Democratic way. It's already pretty much accepted at this point.

So the only debate right now is about VA (very close to where I live!!!)

Nope the dems will control the agenda. If the Senate is captured, Bush will have to break out the veto pen for sure. If "nothing will change" it'll be a lot clearer who's at fault for that happening.

Here's the plan so far:

"In the first 100 hours of a Democratic Congress, we will restore civility, integrity, and fiscal responsibility to the House of Representatives. We will start by cleaning up Congress, breaking the link between lobbyists and legislation and commit to pay-as-you-go, no new deficit spending." She went on pledge to raise the minimum wage, promote stem-cell research, research alternative fuel sources and fight the privatisation of social security.

They also pledged to touch on other sensitive national security matters including surveillance operations, homeland security spending and the implementation of the recommendations of the congressional report into 9/11.


Asides from minimum wage (although it doesn't matter most states have minimums way higher than the federal rate) and privatisation of social security I'm a fan so far ...

I'd love to see it, but my old age (mid-20's, lol) has made me cynical. I guess we'll find out in a hundred hours or so.

Would that make Bush an "activist President?"
