The Biggest Loser or Back on Top

Can you gess who is the biggest loser?
The G.O.P, George W. Bush or Kevin "K-Fed" Ferderline.

If you probably guess all of them you're right. Besides K Fed losing his marriage of 2 years to Britney Spears, the Republicans in Congress was dealt with a mighty blow. Putting a huge dent in Karl Rove's "permanet majority". The Democrats after 12 years of being humiliated and treated like a red-headed stepchild and ignored by The GOP are the Majority in both the House and Senate with 231 and 51(49 plus 2 Independents)repectfully. Beating out major Republicans in both houses From Rick "Ricky Man on Dog"Santorum, George "Macaca" Allen, Katherine Harris, Conrad Burns and others. The next day was much more beautiful than Tuesday night. Rummy resigned! Don "Known unknowns" Rumsfield was let go by Bush after years of mismangaging the Military and Iraq for years and he got his just deserts. Then the republican talking heads was inploding after all this good news has happened.


After all the cheering and celebrating that I and many of you were doing. A lot of us (me included) wanted to know will there be impeachments of Dubya, will there be and end to the Iraq war and bring our troops home? and will the Dems undo the damage of 6 years that Bush has done.

First with the question of impeachment: All of us liberals and progressives want Bush,Cheney and other's head on a platter for all the violation of the Consitution and all the laws he has broken. Even though that House Speaker-in-waiting Nancy Pelosi and DNC chairman said that impeachment "is off the table" so not to take their control the house as payback taking things personally, I feel that this issue is inevitable. Now that we have the supenoea power Nancy Pelosi would not stop new Chairman of the Judiciary committee John Conyers of Michigan from doing his investigations. Additionally all the oversight that the Dems will commit to expose all the secrets the repubs has hidden from us. Approching the impeachment issue must be a solely not a partisan issue like the Clinton impeachment but a issue that affects us as Americans to do the right thing when someone of higher office has done wrong.

Secondly, with the war in Iraq the Dems will come up with some kind of plan to finally end the war and bring our troops home. There are many concepts that the Dems have in mind to help Iraq's very young democracy and to save face with us and the world and also the war on terror. We mainly voted out the GOP get our involvement out of Iraq. Whatever the best plan the dems choose, BushCo will have to accept. On that point of Rummy's outster, the German courts have drawn up charges against him.(See here)
His actions has cause over 2800 American soldier's and over 630,000 Iraqis deaths and face that responsiblies in the The Hague will be less likley since Bush don't recogize the International Criminal Court. The Neocons however will try to blame Bush for everything that went wrong of their glorious plan for global domination. All this hooting and hollering at Bush is another CYA move. Now that Rumsfield's out and Daddy Bush's friend's coming to bail Junior Bush out with Cheney's influnce decreasing look for other neocons in the Aminstration to bow out of office.

Oversight& Undoing of Bush's policies: The major question on FOX News and other right-wing talking heads is : Will the democratic congress waste the american people's time with endless hearings, second-guessing this administration?"
Let's not forget that the legislative branch's job is oversight of the executive branch of goverments actions. In the next two years, the Repubs and talking heads will scream about this constantly. This job is very important and necessary for our checks and balances in goverment. While the Dems are in power it is most likely that they and Bush will bump heads over issues such as minimum wage, stem cells research and Medicare but will prevail. the Democratic congress can do oversight and helping our people live better lives in America.

With that being said, the future is much brighter than what I have written earlier in 2004 when Bush have been reselected again and all of us felt very dejected. We mangaged to use our vote to save our democracy. We have to be very vigilant to keep it. Even if the Democrats are in charge we still have to remain on their case to prevent another 12 years of Republican rule.
