"2006 Election"
All I can say is Congrats to all you Liberals out there. I'm not going to mention any names, because there are a lot of you, and don't want to leave anyone out!!

I think a lot of people voted for Whitehouse while holding their nose.
It's not liberals though...Across the country there are a lot of high-quality moderate Dems running, which should help Congress a lot.
Our Government is currently broken, tonight if the trend continues we will go a long way to fixing it. The people will benefit as a result.

This election was not a support if Liberal ideas. This was a clear message about Iraq, and the conservative base being pissed on wide range of issues.
This ass whuppin' should send a clear message to republicans to get thier acts together on the issues the Rep base cares about. Its prob a blessing in disguise for them. Because after 2 years of Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the house, The American people will see what the Left has to offer, NOTHING!
And i can't wait for my Taxes to go up. Charlie Rengel already has plans to repeal ALL the Bush tax cuts. Thanks Dems! I just cant wait to send you my hard earned money!

On paper it certainly appears that way. On that count I am somewhat hopeful.
One thing I am concerned about is the Dem leadership, particularly in the House. Speaker Pelosi is no moderate and she has been stewing for quite some time to push her leftist agenda.
They may have taken the approach of campaigning from the center-right, but may vote left while in office.
I ask: to what extent will these relative (d) newcomers, who appear to be more conservative than even some of their (r) predecessors, buckle to party discipline when the hot-button issues are decided?
This election was a referendum on the Iraq war and President Bush. But have Americans, in their fit of indignation, let the #^^^^^^^& cat out of the bag? (apologies to cat owners).
We shall see.
In any event, it will be interesting to see how the dems fare when the economy tanks, as it is poised to do so now (all the leading GDP indicators I track have been headed SOUTH since June). Will Americans blame it on the President, or will Congress get blamed too? Will proposed minimum wage legislation and higher taxes nudge the economy sooner into recession?
It's the economy, stupid, right?

No kidding. Wendy's just announced they will outsource the guy that takes the drive thru order to India. I can't imagine that many businesses like that will survive a $2/hr increase in minimum wage. Bump it up $2 and we'll have to build a freakin moat with gators to go with that wall.

me too bob, the guy reminds me a little of Chris Collins from NECN Sports Late Night
and how can anyone keep a straight face and have voted for uncle Ted again for 6 more years? I hope that's it for him
I hope my tax money doesn't pay for any illeagal imigrants anything , make them go away and enter leagally the right way, then follow the laws we have to also. I'm sick of this softness, times are hard and it's time to get tough. Take care of Americans first. I love my country, I want it back.
so now we get ready to get taxed to death

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

Well 16 years of do nothing goveners the people of our state were looking for a change, but I myself do not like the look of things to come, more taxes and flip flop answers. I just don't get what they see in devail, he seems very shadey to me. If I would have voted for Cristy Manhole but that would have been a throw away vote. At least Healy was on the sportsmans side of the issues

Time to move forward and give these elected officials a chance. This was a shift of the middle (and then some) . Time to see if many of these new elected officials can screw up less than those they replaced.

Now the preasure is ALL on the Dems. They must deliver. They've made a million promises. So they have some high expectations.
Wait till America see's the crap Nancy Pelosi and the house is gonna try and pass. A San Fran Liberal in control of the House

He gets re-elected just because of the name. Conditioned response. Election=drunken Kennedy.
Kind of like when you tease a dog.
Hold up a treat; they drool.
Say "election" way too many people in this state just think "kennedy"
I think un-convicted felon.
It is a felony to leave the scene of an accident with injury in MA.
At least for the rest of us peasants.

Deval's position on illegal immigration alone should have been enough to keep him out. There is no question that your taxes will contribute to increased illegal immigration incentive to Massachusetts based on in-state tuition offerings alone never mind the preference affirmative actions automatically give illegals in the admission process. We wont even get into the Drivers License thing.
