Just so there is no misunderstanding.

I am unhappy about last night, but that's about it.

1. Of course, as well I.
I doubt that anyone here is THAT angry. And I am really, really angry.

To be even less relevant? We want to pick up more seats in 08
Had we had a Veto proof majority, we would not have had last night's results.

29. And so you're still here for what reason?
Wouldn't freerepublic be a better venue for you to spam your anti-Democratic rhetoric?

4. I will vote Dem as well
There's no other option that doesn't put the GOP back in complete control. Third party candidates will only split the votes.

7. Me too, but as they say all politics is local
I may (slight posssibility) vote for a republican for country sherrif. There are eight candidates right now and one guy I believe is much better then the rest of the combined. I haven't voted for a republican since 1976, but I might make an excption this year. If one is pissed at our national dems, how might they think of republicans in Washington? I'm not too concerned about this matter. I just hope every effort is made to tie bush and his party to every freaking death of our kids in Iraq, because that would only be fair.

24. There wouldn't have been an IWR if the Dem controlled Senate was against the war,
Don't ever forget that.

If you do forget, you are just fooling yourself.

Especially if Gore runs.

A lot can happen in a year, but the bar will be even higher for candidates. The toughest talkers with a record to back it up will win. Maybe we'll see a lot more new folks enter races.

A lot of the old-timers will be thrown out. High voter turn-out motivated by anger. ( maybe even by hatred? :evilgrin: ) to overcome the ongoing election fraud.

20. I am just pissed
and rightfully so but I won't let the repukes win. The stakes are too high for my kid and his generation besides I wouldn't know how to be anything other than a Dem.

22. Absolutely, even if i'm just pushing the placebo button.
I have this recurring nightmare that all the buttons funnel to one place...the name with the (R) after it.

31. Nothing will stop me from voting Straight Democratic ticket
My children, my friends, as well as myself, have all done some disappointing and stupid things; but I do not quit loving them because of it. Yes, I'm very disappointed in our new leaders because of this,
BUT, at the same time:

I do not forget who started this bloody mess; nor do I intend to forget how those war-mongering
Cheneys and Bushes of the world are relentless on keeping it going. They just can't give up all those
millions they're raking in every day from their oil deals.........and to Hell with human lives, so long as they're in power.

Don't blame the Democrats for this mess. :spank: :spank: :spank: :spank: :cry: :cry:

39. It depends on our presidential nominee.
I'll vote for any of them save one - because I don't trust him.

Other than that, I'll vote straight Dem.

43. I don't automatically vote straight ticket, unless I am totally unfamiliar
with most names on the ballot. I guess I'm not that loyal. If someone's doing a good job, I will vote to keep them in office, D or R.
