Congratulations
No congratulations are in order. This shouldn't be an us vs. them situation.
Now that the House is under Dem leadership, perhaps some thoughtful discussion can happen between the two parties. If the Senate goes also, that will make it even more likely, since the only alternative is gridlock. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com wrote in message ups.com...

Now that the House is under Dem leadership, perhaps some thoughtful discussion can happen between the two parties. If the Senate goes also, that will make it even more likely, since the only alternative is gridlock. Indeed. Congratulations should be extended to the framers for their check and balance foresight and the American citizenry for exercising their right to vote their conscience. We have an opportunity to repair what's gone wrong if the partisanship can get set aside or at least somewhat muted. If Bush is demanding and attempts to push politically-motivated "reforms" such as social security, he'll cement the Ds position as the preferred party. jps Unfortunately, you picked a reform that is needed. Social Security. Quit giving all our children's money to the older generation now. SS was never the national retirement system. Let us hope that Pelosi does not try to be vinductive, The country wants improvements, not witch hunts. |

It may not be a national retirement system, but it was signed into law by FDR during the depression to encourage older folks to retire and give up their jobs to the younger generation. Contrary to some popular belief, it was never intended to be "temporary". Eisboch |

And it was the "Widows and childrens act" originally to protect those left behind when the working age person left life behind. |

The number one improvement will be snatching the reins of the republicans responsible for the mess we're in. |

Now that the House is under Dem leadership, perhaps some thoughtful discussion can happen between the two parties. If the Senate goes also, that will make it even more likely, since the only alternative is gridlock. Three observations: 1) The two-party system still works. When the electorate becomes dissatisfied with the current party in power, it replaces it with the other one. 2) Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Bush administration lost its ideological way somewhere along the line. Hopefully congressional oversight will mean a close examination of issues and dollars, rather than personal attacks. 3) Sadly the outcome of what could be a productive and constructive election will likely be bitter party division and bickering. In other words, nothing new. Max |
