well well-

I think the next couple of years is going to be really interesting.

Bottom line the GOP will fail if they can not make changes that make people want them in office- I think we are going to see alot of interesting moves and changes before '08.

It's like chess.....

Here is my expectation for the next two years:

Democrats: Investigate a myriad of financial scandals from Iraq to Texas. Try and drag the administration through the mud.

Republicans: Block everything the Dems try to do and then run on the "Democrats can't get things done" platform.

Gridlock. It's what's for dinner.

Well, the Democrats' first request (in letter form from Pelosi and..shoot, who's gonna be the new Senate leader?) involved 3 things.

1) An emphasis on disarmament of the Iraqi militia, rather then letting Malaki get away with being beholden to the criminals that are running the country and driving it towards civil war.

2) Rewriting the Iraqi Constitution to be more equitable to Sunnis rather than the Shiite-friendly version that threats to drive the country to civil war.

3) Redeployment of troops.

OMG, she's a lunatic!
