+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Many Americans wanted change and "a new direction." For them, just about any change and/or new direction will do.
Despite traditional mistrust for pollsters, their predictions proved shockingly accurate.
Forget the conventional wisdom about gaps between red and blue states.
Jews who should know conservatives are their only friends still voted 87% Democrat. It's a family tradition not easily broken.
An amnesty bill is coming. The Democrats and the President want it and a few Republicans were and are trying to put a finger in this dam.
Very leftist liberals will take over key committee chairmanships.
Charles Rangle will assume Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, the most powerful committee in the House. It has jurisdiction over taxes, trade, Social Security, and Medicare. Rangle has said he would put all Bush tax cuts on the chopping block.
Fellow Democrats could, over time, impose a cumulative tax increase of $2.4 trillion.
John Conyers of Michigan will likely initiate any impeachment proceedings against the President. This leads to national destabilization as with Watergate when the stock market cost investors billions.
John Murtha of Pennsylvania will chair the Appropriations Committee. He will make good his threats to cut funding for Iraq, forcing withdrawal of American troops. While many of you are cheering this, the new battleground will become America. Don't let anyone tell you differently.
The far left Dennis Kucinitch of Ohio is in line to become chairman of the Government Reform Committee on national security. He once introduced a bill to "abolish all nuclear weapons." Good idea, Dennis, but Osama, Kim Jong Il, Pakistan, China, Ahmadinejad, and more, are now doubled up in laughter at your suggestion. Kucinitch would not condemn Hezbollah and has called for an end to the war on drugs.
Bennie Thompson of Mississippi will become U.S. House Homeland Security Chairman. He is unqualfied for this position due to the fact he has had no experience.
Scratch energy expansion in America such as ANWAR. Rep. John Dingell has opposed all of the President's energy programs. Under Dingell, the ability to achieve energy independence is not possible.
If you think it was rough for the President working with Tom Daschle, just wait for the new leadership of Nancy Pelosi. She has called the President a liar, dangerous, and the emperor with no clothes. Clearly if you want a good friend in Washington, get a pet.
