Today is September 14, 2006, and the general mid term election in the United States is about eight weeks away with early voting commencing in many locations some weeks before that.
So are you willing to stick your neck out and make your predictions for the results?
Once the polls close and all the voter fraud issues have been settled, who will Americans have elected to control Congress for the next two years?
Comments appreciated.
I'll go first saying that I think the GOP will narrowly hold on to the House and Senate, not because they have earned a reward of re-election, but only because as bad as they have been, they've gotten more right than the Democrats have.
Anyway you look at it, the American people lose because people like Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry and Ted Kennedy will still be in office.

That's one reason I think the GOP will hold on. Because of their pitiful performance, I won't be surprised if the GOP loses one or both branches of Congress, but my gut tells me that there are enough people who the idea of Kennedy, Kerry, Rangel, et al, controlling powerful committees and especially the idea of a Speaker Pelosi, second in line for the Presidency, is just more than they can vote for.
I hope the whole rotten crew is beaten. Most people don't know that Bushie set us up with 9/11 with the help of big oil!

I wonder if McGentrix realizes it is American people who put and keep these Americans in office. Although nearly half us did try to take John Kerry out of the Senate a couple of years ago.
Conservatives seem to think that anyone who disagrees with them isn't American.
Conservatives are slugs who would have us all carrying Bibles and abstaining from sex until we are twenty-five years old. They are Neanderthals!!!
Now now... some of my best friends are conservatives.

As I have said previously, half of America has below average intelligence.
I would say the number is slightly more than half... but I hope we can both agree they all are American people.

Of course, the lizard brained GOOPERS prefer Hastert, DeLay, Frist and Ney over Pelosi and company.

That's debatable with all the illegal aliens who are voting. :wink:
Neither party has a lock on stupidity or incompetence. Rep's Cunningham and Jefferson confirm that. Likewise, neither party has a corner on wisdom. Those rasdicals on the left are just as volitale as those on the right. I just wish we could gather the guts necessary to vote all 535 out of office and then impose term limits on the newcomers. while putting the brakes on the gerrymandering that goes on everywhere. I'm going to vote against all incimbents.

Here in New Mexico it's the dead people crowding the polling places on election day.
(Seriously, there have been several accounts where this has been caught. Its debatable how many were not caught.) In the last general election I was back in the line but close enough to hear a woman telling the polling officials that her husband had signed in to vote and he had died 30 days before. She was quite angry and upset.
Bump - double post - didn't give me a chance to delete
Dead people voting in New Mexico? That can't be half as criminal as what happened in Florida and Ohio. The Bushies stole Florida and Diebold helped them steal Ohio!
It seems that the right swift-boats so much that they begin to believe this crap themselves. Pelosi, Kennedy, and Kerry are superb legislators, far superior to anyone on the right.

Well I would ask you why you like them so much, but I think that would be mean.

But it's the liberals who keep trying to find a way to impeach Bush, rather than just waiting with a little dignity for their next chance at the polls.

Yeah - dignity. Like what we lost when the Republicans dragged us through a tens-of-millions of dollar, months long mudslinging fest because Clinton got a blowjob?

That was also wrong, and wrong in exactly the same way.
