White House bracing for loss of Congress

WASHINGTON - The White House is bracing for guerrilla warfare on the homefront politically if Republicans lose control of the House, the Senate or both — and with it, the president's ability to shape and dominate the national agenda.

Republicans are battling to keep control of Congress. But polls and analysts in both parties increasingly suggest Democrats will capture the House and possibly the Senate on Election Day Nov. 7.

Democrats need a 15-seat pickup to regain the House and a gain of six seats to claim the Senate.

Everything could change overnight for President Bush, who has governed for most of the past six years with a Republican Congress and with little support from Democrats.

"Every session you change the way you do business with the Congress. And you test the mood of the Congress, find out what their appetite will be. But it doesn't change your priorities," the president told ABC News.

Former President Clinton had to deal with the Democrats' loss of control of Congress in 1994. But Clinton had something Bush does not: six more years to regain his footing.

she'd rather let the war criminals get off, no accountability

what good is subpoena power if she does not intend to use it

WAR CRIMES TRIALS!

If you win, then you have a mandate to follow your agenda. Even the hidden ones, apparently.

:rofl:

The Whitehouse itself is going it's merry way..its regular old "What me worry?" way. It's everyone else in a tizzy.

and a line of republics getting thrown under them.

No way this country is that stupid.

Soooooooooo, RightOnline, when it does happen watcha gonna do? Oh, I know, form a militia of like-minded, obese ex-Air Farce dweebs to "liberate" the country much like good ole ex-Tim McVeigh. Good luck with that, moron.

From the following insipid post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1724037/posts

:dem:

The roaches will be infesting like crazy around the election.

This Election is not in the bag, yet.

some serious 'come to Jesus' moments, I'm sure.

I'm phone banking this week, getting signs out too.

Clinton had about 12 months to regain his footing. He had an election coming up and an entirely hostile Congress to contend with. Remember how they shut down the government three times in their first years in office. Bush won't have the same level of hostility to deal with from a Democratic Congress. Any animostiy they feel will be left over from the total disregard he's shown toward Democrats on the Hill over the past six years. If he's in a fix, it's a fix of his own making.

the beginning of his presidency. that POS yahoo story is an example of journalism at its worst

Guerilla warfare? WTF is that supposed to mean? did they call it that in 1994?

check this out, if you don't think I'm right about the time WJC had to adjust:

What a lovely analogy. :eyes:

Because very soon they will face criminal investigations. When we get control of the House back there's going to be a very serious look into their actions. I can't wait.

Someone get us a 15-seat pickup, now.

I guess that would be like a limo of a pickup.

Make it decisive!

...pretending to brace, because they're actually planning to steal the fuckin' election again!

a week or two ago. The reports were that he was upbeat and confident. Was he just putting on a good face for the minions, or .... hmmmmmmm :tinfoilhat:

I mean, he wants us to believe he's all manly, right? Okay, Rovy--no whining about the election. Just fucking deal with it.

let's WIN first, brag later.

I am sensing the same arrogance I did back in 2000, 2002, 2004. These Repugs STEAL elections, have you forgotten?

:hi:

second, who the hell is bragging?

read the following, just from this thread:

" yup, there's gonna be a lot of busses in front of the whitehouse
and a line of republics getting thrown under them."

" My question from the cheap seats.
Have the Freepers been prepared for the inevitability? If not I got the rope concession ready!"

" you have no idea how bad the freeper influx in to DU will be on
election day and the the days after, it's going to be crazy, crazy as a freeper."
