Democrats still have edge ADAM HARVEY November 07, 2006 01:15am SADDAM Hussein's death sentence has invigorated the chances of U.S. Republicans ahead of tonight's congressional elections. But most pollsters say it will not be enough to stop Democrats from winning control of the U.S. House of Representatives. Unease about the war in Iraq and the economy should ensure Democrats win the 15 seats needed to control the House, say election analysts. The Senate will be a much tighter race and could fall to either party. The Hussein verdict is relevant to the election because Democrats have tried to make the election a referendum on President George W. Bush's handling of the war in Iraq. Republicans have counter-attacked by saying the Democrats have weak policies and no real plan for Iraq. Democrats "believe the only way they can win this election is to criticise and offer no plan of their own," Mr Bush said yesterday. The President praised the Iraqi court's decision to execute the Iraqi dictator. White House spokesman Tony Snow called it "a good day for the Iraqi people". He and other Republicans seized on it as a sign of progress in Iraq. Until Sunday's verdict, Republicans had been battered by months of unrelenting bad news from Iraq. The party was further wounded last week by the sex and drugs scandal involving prominent Bush ally, Pastor Ted Haggard. The evangelical leader was sacked by his church at the weekend and in a letter read to his congregation yesterday, admitted a "lifelong" sexual problem. Mr Haggard has admitted buying methamphetamine and having a massage by gay prostitute Mike Jones. In a letter read to an overflowing congregation at his New Life church, Mr Haggard said he was "a deceiver and a liar". "There is part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I've been warring against it all of my adult life," he said in the letter. Haggard apologised to his congregation and asked for their forgiveness. Worshippers greeted this statement with a long ovation. On Saturday, the board ousted Haggard from the 14,000-member church - which he founded more than 20 years ago - citing his "sexually immoral conduct". news.com.au

Bush-Cheney have totally blown it on national defense. Are you kidding? This Iraq debacle is more harmful to our military readiness and might than anything any terrorists could have done to us. Not only should Rumsfeld be removed, as the Military Times demands, but Cheney should be punished for this debacle as well. Truly, I don't know how you can say Bush-Cheney are even competent as commanders in chief. Look at the results. Also, their administration and congress is riddled with gross corruption and closet case perverts. We really need to clean house. You're not some kind of fascist, are you? You don't believe in totaltarian rule? Or some kind of a Taliban type theocracy with closeted homosexuals in charge?
