Democrats Win Control Of Senate With Webb Victory
Posted on November 8, 2006
The swing of the pendelum is complete. Our government is now under the majority of the left according to AP. The recount hasn’t been done yet…but that doesn’t stop the AP.
Democrats wrested control of the Senate from Republicans Wednesday with an upset victory in Virginia, giving the party complete domination of Capitol Hill for the first time since 1994.
Jim Webb’s squeaker win over incumbent Sen. George Allen gave Democrats their 51st seat in the Senate, an astonishing turnabout at the hands of voters unhappy with Republican scandal and unabated violence in Iraq. Allen was the sixth Republican incumbent senator defeated in Tuesday’s elections.
Just the news I needed to hear to complete my crappy day. I guess we could only stall Armegeddon for so long.

Florida Cracker says the best man won.
Fausta says It’s a good thing I’m not an alchoholic. Amen to that…as I pour myself a tall one.

So now that it’s been declared the Dems have the Senate, anyone want to bet that before the end of the year Justice Stevens retires?
And if he does, will the Republicans have the balls to filibuster? Yeah, I don’t think so, either.
I guess this is the liberal gloat thread…go at it. Oh, and a special thanks to all those who stayed at home on Election Day. I hope you enjoy.

As Thomas Sowell pointed out in a recent column, the Democrats latest scam, which apparently worked, was to get people to vote for “moderate” Democrats, which of course once voted in the real Democrats in control of the party, unhinged liberals like Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and others could then take the reigns and begin their destructive changes to our beloved America.
Look for higher taxes to support more socialist programs that they want to occur first.
Next, look for them to spend every last effort in two things, first of which is to start trial proceedings to try and impeach Bush and his administration of each and every imaginary wrong that these clowns can come up with. Second, they will continue to impede our progress in the War on Terror.
If they could get their way we would cut and run from Iraq. Which, would once again re-inforce the lesson that others in the past have learned, and that is: America will not stand by you while you strive for freedom. No, she will cut and run leaving you in the lurch each and every time. [Reference South Vietnam, those in Iraq who were encouraged to revolt against Sodamn Insane after the Persian Gulf War, and now the fledgling new Iraq government]. This time, once again, compliments of the Democratic Party.
Of course, it could be a good thing that they won. Maybe this is what it will take for the American people to finally wake up to the enemy within, the liberal Democrats who won’t stand up to terrorism, and who only have dreams of higher and higher taxes for more and more useless soclialist programs along with other items in their communist/socialist agenda.
Today could very well be the begining of good times for the ACLU and selfish atheist crybabies like Michael Newdow. Time will tell.
“Of course, it could be a good thing that they won. Maybe this is what it will take for the American people to finally wake up to the enemy within”
Uh, Clay? THEY JUST DID.
One word will describe the next two years: gridlock.
I’m tired of this already. Pelosi has said several times, unequivocally, that there will be no impeachment proceedings. The Dems are out to make a name for themselves. They’re no friends of the administration, of course, but it sounds like they aren’t going to waste their time in the past.
They haven’t fully defined their Iraq policy, but Pelosi also stated unequivocally that they would not cut funding of the war. Seeing as how that’s really their only way of forcing a quick end to the war, it doesn’t sound like “cut and run” will be a part of their policy.
Yeah, I’m sure we’ll get some more of those, but we got more of them under a Republican government too. Counter-intuitively, we might actually get fewer with the Dems in charge. The fact that the Dems will push a big government agenda might be just what we need to get the Republicans to at least pay lip service to small government again.
Jay, I can’t imagine that too many liberals read your site, so I doubt there’ll be much gloating. Even if there were, you’d never contain it to one thread.
BTW, you have my condolences on your loss. I just hope your party learns that it can’t forget themselves simply because they happen to have full control.
“I just hope your party learns that it can’t forget themselves simply because they happen to have full control.”
Boy ain’t that the truth.
“I’m tired of this already. Pelosi has said several times, unequivocally, that there will be no impeachment proceedings. The Dems are out to make a name for themselves. They’re no friends of the administration, of course, but it sounds like they aren’t going to waste their time in the past. ”
Yeah. Pelosi said all of that before the election. We will now see whether or not that was just talk. Considering the liberals have done nothing since 2000 but call Bush Hitler, and “selected not elected” and have called for “regime change”, it’s not a big step to take to expect them to turn and resume impeachement proceedings.
“They haven’t fully defined their Iraq policy, but Pelosi also stated unequivocally that they would not cut funding of the war. Seeing as how that’s really their only way of forcing a quick end to the war, it doesn’t sound like “cut and run” will be a part of their policy.”
Again pre-election talk. They have had a history before election time of calling for us to bail out. The only reason that they wouldn’t make their vision happen would be that a. they really don’t have no plan or b. they are afraid to take the responsibility for their actions and are just content to sit on the sidelines and call names and criticize without having to actually do anything.
“Yeah, I’m sure we’ll get some more of those, but we got more of them under a Republican government too. Counter-intuitively, we might actually get fewer with the Dems in charge.

I agree with you that both partys are for bigger government encroachment over our lives but, the Democrats are socialists in nature and their bloated wrongheaded ideas like the Great Society, have caused far more harm to this nation than good. I’d rather cast my vote for the big government Republicans. They come the closest to representing my conservative values.
I stand firm in my assessment that with the Democrats in the majority now, we are in for some trouble. Unless their majority gets thwarted from within by Democrat conservatives or others who won’t support the party line. But I doubt that, the liberals are entrenched in the party and have the power. They have hijacked the party and duped too many into accepting their agenda.
She reiterated it yesterday during a press conference aired by C-SPAN. If she has even the slightest control over her party, there will be no impeachment proceedings and they will not cut funding to Iraq.
Go ahead and worry that they may change their position if that’s how you want to spend your energy, but at this point, it’s nothing more than a strawman.
We’ll see whether it is a “stawman” or not. As for “worrying” about it, hardly? Even if they did try, they don’t have a leg to stand on.
