I certainly hope you're willing to send that message to President Bush. .....
It's up to Bush now.
Either party that tries that will be in for a world of hurt come 2008.
The Constitution provides that the Vice President of the United States serves as the President of the Senate and holds a vote which can only be cast to break a tie.
The Senate is regarded as a more deliberative body than the House of Representatives; the Senate is smaller and its members serve longer terms, allowing for a more collegial and less partisan atmosphere that is somewhat more insulated from public opinion than the House. The Senate has several exclusive powers enumerated in Article One of the Constitution not granted to the House; most significantly, the President cannot ratify treaties or make important appointments without the advice and consent of the Senate.

It's up to both sides to get things done, not just the Democrats and not just the Republicans.

He has the power to work with the Dems elected by the people and negotiate reasonable compromise - or he can try to keep riding roughshod on the nation and create a gridlock.

The terrorists and domestic Islamo-fascists (CAIR) are celebrating now that their allies have taken control. Now we can sit back and watch the various Islamo-alphabet groups slowly gain political power to fulfill their desire to turn the US into an Islamic nation. Of course; they may try but it will NEVER happen. The Dems will be voted out (hopefully) long before that ever happens.
My major concern is the Dems have no staying power and no plan on how to win the war on terrorism. I expect the patriot act to be phased out and Muslim terrorist cells to be phased in. Stand-by for the next major attack on US soil.......................................
