The possibility of taking over Congress in 2006 is looking a lot better. Housing bubble will be collapsing by then. Nothing but bad news for the repubs.

And you know this because? I would hope so, but they have so much power and control and money right now and the dems are not stepping up to the plate. In fact, some republicans may sing a different tune to remain in office but continue to play to the sell-out-America Bush group. Or new Republicans will be elected, and things will remain as they are - the US declines into a third world nation, one not even up to the disaster response capabilities of Cuba.

check this out: White House Watch: Bush's polls crashing, but GOP not in panic Posted 9/1/05 By Paul Bedard Despite anger over rising gas prices, the war in Iraq, and President Bush's plummeting poll numbers, Republicans say that they are not worried yet about the 2006 elections. "It's a long way off still," said a Bush political adviser. However, many Hill Republican leadership aides and Bush associates are putting pressure on the White House to address the war better and make a swift move to affect the skyrocketing prices of oil. Some are even suggesting that Bush suspend the federal gas tax so that voters can immediately feel relief. Meanwhile, Republican political strategists say that while the president's numbers are dropping, the Democrats have done little to take advantage and prepare for House and Senate races next year. "The Democrats are not nearly as well positioned in recruitment and their standing among voters as we," said a key Bush adviser. Also, Republicans look to the benefits of redistricting over the past decade that greatly limits what Democrats can do in House races. "The last decade of redistricting limits the range of any swing," said the adviser.
