How much of this 8 years will we be able to reverse?

When we take Congress and the WH?

[msongs]

1. all the legislation...with a majority, but not the damages

they can only be mitigated and partially undone

plus it would take incredible party unity in the congress. the dinos would have to line up
with the party instead of with the repubs.

3. What about our 4 'enduring' bases

and the billion dollar embassy in Iraq? Tax cuts? The damn Halliburtin contracts?

2. Not much, I fear.

There is a systemic problem.

No one gets elected without strong corporate support. The reciprocation is the fundamental problem.

6. I agree

India and China aren't going to close their call centers and factories, etc., etc....

4. My concerns are how we work with other nations.

How can they ever trust us again? Or, maybe they never really trusted us and this administration only solidified their distrust many times over.

5. Sweetie, it's going to be so much worse than even we know.

When we start investigating, it's going to be very difficult for some to grasp or believe.

11. you know what, I'm very worried..and I'm a "hopeful" person.

yikes,
Most of us are feeling as though our world has been tossed
into another dimension or something.

You know, I barely watch news anymore, I read this site, and
articles on line, (usually late at night like this, when my kids
are sleeping)...during the day now, I live for the day. Or try to.
I cook a lot, and have become a food channel junkie to relax these
days. Again, I'm worried. Are there any positive signs out there,
that our world will pull together, any??? (open ended question for
anyone out there..thanks)

Anyway, sorry didn't mean to go off on a tangent. Just wanted to
"express my stress".

7. We will need to have a frank discussion with the American people

The process of incremental legislative change is painstakingly slow, left to the behest of bureaucrats, lobbyists, congressional staffers, and egocentric politicians.

When regime change finally arrives, it may be necessary for him or her to acquire emergency powers to fix many years of damage that has been done to this country.

Look a dictatorship is great, so long as you support all of the dictator's policies and everything that the dictator is doing in office. ;)

8. NOt how much of it, but how many generations will it take??

9. our educational system is mess still from Reagan... CA discovered a few

years back that the educational policies had resulted in 3-4 of 7 HS grads really not being able read and write well enough to fill out a job application.

as a result of what Reagan had done.. I remember after dropping out of collage because all grants and loans had been canceled and fees raised.. that 8 months after he became Governor they said if he resigned and left it would take 20 years to fix the educational system.. and that is about how long it too to finally admit it.

my nephew couldnt read a news paper AT ALL, and didnt know what a 1/4" was on a measuring tape.. and he graduated

13. That is truly frightening

How old is he now? What is he doing?

10. The repukes are

"poisoning the well", making the tax cuts permanent while simultaneously running the deficit to record levels. This will put a Dem president in the position of either taking away the cuts or raising taxes on the middle and working class. This will not endear them and is sure to be a repuke issue during the '08 campaign.
And this is just one example.

12. None if we don't get a Democratic Congress

and a decent candidate who can win and who speaks the truth even when the damn consultants with their fingers in the wind tell him to do something different rather than speaking the hard truths.

[Imagevision]

15. yeah right! - Dems will yak about it's going to take many years to

undo the trillion dollar deficit the Bush administration rang up thru poor idea's and planning, Dems are glad because they like the rest will jump on the; it'll take many-many years to undo the damage blah-blah-blah!!

[shanti]

14. not until

DIEBOLD et al. have been put to sleep.

[leesa]

16. How many of those 35,000 to 100,000 dead Iraqis and Afghans and

9-11 BuschCo victims will we be able to revive?
