not sure but these CDF right wing posts are helping tremendously, up til now we respected & believed them you know love of democratic process respect for the office you know. everytime i see a fat man all in black waddling to his SUV with his balding hair slicked back i am reminded.
Just curious - how long do folks think that the Republican Party will be in minority status in Congress - that is - be minorities in BOTH the House and Senate???
I personally think it will be at least a generation (25 years) for them to regain either the House or Senate.
They have pretty much lost the youth vote... and the black vote... and independents are turning against them in greater and greater numbers...
Right now they are a Southeast/Midwest party that only has appeal in Bible-Belt states...
2012, I think the tide will turn back to the conservative side. now i did not say republican, I said and meant conservative.
When the inflation rate skyrockets and people see that the rich aren't going to pay for everything they will want change again.Saw this after the 70's recession but it probabaly will be worse because of the massive goverament spending that has to be paid back;so many will be deep in debt after the recession with no easy credit and many areas of the countriy will not recover for decades as companies get smaller or disappear that are the main employers.
Right after the Congressional elections I would have said it will take at least a generation for the GOP to regain power but seeing what a miserable crop of miscreants the Democrats have offered up, I now believe I may actually live long enough to again see a pitiful crop of Republicans as a majority. What a country!

I disagree... I think we are on a much better track now than we ever were under Bush.
We are currently paying back for 8 years of total disregard for the country by Dubya and the Republicans. They enriched their already filthy rich benefactors - and that's ALL they ever cared about.
Obama will clean up the mess - and start a generation of Democratic rule...
I'm 55, and I doubt I will ever see another Republican majority as long as I live.... and I'm very happy about it...
I believe you are in the minority on this one - the small minority.

You really are from Mars!
What, you don't remember the stinking den of corruption the Dems had built by the time their majority came crashing down the last time. That wasn't all too long ago. Then the Repubs only took about a dozen or so years to do the same. With today's ever increasing speed of news transmission and dissemination, if anything the shifting of power cycles are getting shorter not longer.
Most intelligent people will see that any adverse economic effects over the next several years are the fault of the terrible mismanagement of the economy by Bush and his minions in Congress.
People know that this economic mess is the fault of Dubya and the Republicans...
Spin to your heart's content - every national poll says you are dead wrong...
Every national poll also has Obama's approval dwindling. "Dubya" had a higher approval rating for March, 2001 than Obama has in March 2009.
How you like them apples????
