Republicans are really worried about losing the House or Representatives this year.?

I think there's a distinct possibility that the Republicans could lose their majority in the House and Senate.  Iraq stands at the top of a growing list of concerns that Americans have about the leadership of the country.\n\nIraq has become a quagmire with no good solution in sight.  To stay invites more of our young men and women to lose some part of the life they could have had without fighting such a needless battle.  To leave now suggests those who have already lost did so for no good reason.  \n\nThe question many Americans ask is: who got us here?  It's too late to punish President Bush; even if they wanted to, John Kerry never seemed presidential enough to do the job.  With the mid-term elections just ahead, they may likely look to those who have championed Bush's cause again and again and take it out on them.  All the Democrats need are enough candidates who can tell that story and Bush may find his last two years in office a whole lot different than the first six.

As long as the Republicans have a lock on the House and Senate, not much is going to happen in the way of Congressional oversight, hearings , committees and investagatory proceedures...but WHEN the GoP no longer can block things...It wil be an entirely different situation.  Wait until they lose power...things will start to unravel.

Before Bush a person could feel safe telling each other how they felt about a sitting President...are those days gone ? I will vote out of fear in november ...just like the Republicans want me to...Fear of their Party running my Country straight down the tubes!!!

I hope you are right.   There's a lot of news coverage on the new people in politics who are willing to go after what's really important.  But how long will it take for the damage the Republicans have caused to be over.

Some people feel like the Republicans have not lived up to their core ideals, or for that matter, their promises.\nAlso, because the Republicans have been in complete power for quite a while now, they are the target of discontent in our country.\n\nMany people who are being hurt by globalism and a lack of quality/affordable healthcare are angry, and who else can they see to blame? Republicans hold the congress nd the white house, so who else are they going to hold accountable?\n\nThere was a time when Republicans did not approve of running a huge deficit (which is happening now), wanted the government to stay out of religion (even Pat Robertson was leery of the faith-based initiatives), and expected their politicians to do the right thing (unlike all of the folks linked to Abramof, Foley, and others).\n\nPerhaps many people have realized that the Republicans have become drunk on power, and that they needed to be reminded that their followers are not sheep.\n\nThat being said, the same might easily happen to the Democrats once they are in power for a long time. \n\nAnd sad as it is, both sides have been doing name-calling and hurtful chants for quite some time now----you just notice them more when you are on the losing side.

I don't think you will ever see the Republican Party take any ownership of their mistakes, it's always somebody Else's. Talk about a sickness and in denial. It's going to take a new Democratic congress to get to the bottom of it all. From their dirty tricks squads, it also looks as if there is a lot to cover up, maybe too much.

I really think we will see a virtual stalemate for the next 2 years and I do not believe it will be because of the Republicans. Many of the Democrat leadership are beholding to the far left, but many of the newly elected Democrats are much more moderate. Personally I think what you will see is a lot of Democrat infighting, especially if the remaining Republicans stand up for traditional conservative principles. The one area where I am very worried is on the illegal immigration front. I think there is a definite chance that they will try to pass the Kennedy/McCain immigration bill from the Senate. The stumbling block before was the House, but that block has been removed and if it makes it to the President' desk he will sign it because it is exactly what he has wanted all along.

I predict the Democrats will take back the House but the Senate is too close to call  and will probably end in court battles and recounts.  Gotta have some kinda excitment and drama with this election, right? hee hee

the republican agenda has been denounced by the electorate and if they  stay with their (stay the course) policy thier era is not only over it will be dead...remember cheney said that no matter what the election results he said stay the course, HOW ARROGANT  his response is a slap in the face of the electorate and if history tells us anything its this, americans dont like to be ignored or taken lightly. so in closing if they stay the course they will lose the senate and the presidency next election

yes, they are nervous as they should be. Because they know that they have F up Congress in the last 6 yrs and that people are fed up and want a change.

"Didn't they foresee the tables could get turned?"\n\nNo. There are 2 kinds of Republicans. One type has a one fiscal quarter horizon arising out of business mentality of looking mostly at immediate results, and short term profits. A few knocks on the head will cure these guys. The other, infinitely more dangerous type, fully expected to make this a one party nation.

Republicans are afraid of everything and everyone that does not agree with them.  Just mention Hillary for President and watch them go apoplectic.  \n\nThey have got to be the sorest losers on the planet.

Even if they lose they will still be in Washington. They will just be in the minority. Truthfully both parties will move out of Washington. It is never to early for politicians to start campaigning for 2008. They don't really work any more they just run for office take vacations and vote to give themselves a raise. And that is bipartisan.

please you are a democrat pretending to be a republican.  in case you haven't been watching the news.. the polls are turning and it may not be the landslide the liberal media has been boasting about.  as a matter of fact Nancy Pelosi may NOT be the next speaker of the house..

repubs believe anything their party tells them too, That is what is so fucking scary about them. Just a bunch of automatons gulping down the party line and shitting it back out as their own thoughts.

No he won't be lucky because he will inherit the mess from this one...he has to be pushed into a war and once the republicans are out of office they will go on the attack against him blaming him for everything and acting like they never did anything to contribute to the problem....then the democrats will pretty much do the same if they lose so I hope a completely differnt party wins...Im sick of Dems and Republicans...why don't we all just try something completely differnt this next election.
