Now my question will be What democrats are going to do with the power and how they plan to fix America and Iraq.
That is my question now and I will be as hard on them as I was on the GOP when they were holding the congress.
A lot of voters will be watching very closely the new Congress and they will be very critical if things do not get better.

One of the reasons you don't see many complains (not that it wasn't any) is because the GOP thought that they had the elections on their pockets and the results has gotten many by surprised.

Democrats have never fixed anything in the past what makes you think that is going to change?

But wait! I thought that that what you posted was the exact reason democrats used to complain about the 2000 and 2004 elections.
guess when in a Democratic nation people do not feel that their votes counts one way or the other it's clear sign that the Democracy may be in trouble.

I dont know what Democrats you're referring to, What did the GOP do to fix poverty and crime?
Just what have they done for any American????? Except send them to a war to lose their lives over nothing?
The title of this thread is very inflamatory. And childish.

OK I guess is your personal opinion and we all have the right to voice our own views but
You don't see anything wrong with the state of affairs of our nation right now under 6 years of GOP control? I mean the entire government from congress to president was Republican.
What did they do? you think that everything was peachy under them?
Illegal and expensive war, outragous deficits, borrowing from third world countries.
China now the second in the line after Japan saturating our markets with cheap goods make in sweat shops.
Goods from third work country children.
While forgotting about domestic issues like health care,education an the inability to
deal whit natural disasters.
Giving tax brakes to corporations so they can keep outsourcing middle class jobs and oil companies so they can keep their record making profits and turning a blind eye when they were gauging the public.
That is deceiving our nation is in crisis economically and that is a fact no matter how well the markets thanks to the GOP are doing for wealthy corporations and wealthy Americans.
I see that as a perpetuation of division of classes.
I see ever day what out sourcing is doing to small towns all over America including the one I live in where three major sources of middle class income has gone out of the US in the less than two years.
But guess what we got job grow in the town thank to Wal-Mart and the replacement of jobs with minimum wage ones.

The Democrats have screwed up the cities letting poverty and crime permeate into surrounding neighborhoods bringing crime and poverty to more people.
I guess the American people want the same only now on at the national level.

Sleeper,
You sound awful angry. Do you live in a place surrounded by Welfare Queens?
I do agree with you, that's not my element either. You have to realize that the cities draw the low element like flies- I've been around for quite awhile and its always been this way, whether we have a Republican in office or a Democrat.
