Let's take the high road when we win
No talk of "mandates" and "political capital" to spend.

Let's talk about investigations and accountability.

Let's show America that we are the better party because they won't stop looking at us just we won.

6. How about we have the "mandate to start investigations" and
the "political capital to demand accountability".

See, something for everyone. :)

16. Correct! Keep the partying short and get to work to repair America!
We have two years to SHOW America that the GOP was lying about us too!

Get to work fixing what they broke. Show voters why they should elect even more DEMS in 08.

Give them action toward actually solving problems instead of the GOP shit of throwing Straw-man side shows out there at people.

Heal the tear in America and stay on the high road.

9. Sorry, 51% is a mandate. The pResident told me so!
I want to implement *our* agenda as well as investigate, convict, and punish all the Republican future felons.

15. part of me says yes, the other part says NO WAY!
I'm just not sure how I'm gonna react tommorrow when the Repugs start going on and on about election reform, Diebold, and how their races were stolen.

I like to think I'll be able to just smile and move on, but part of me wants to just open up and let it fly!

19. Let's force our election officials to do exactly what they were voted in to do.
Get us out of the war.
Return our civil liberties.
Put pressure on the Bush regime.

21. I agree about taking the high road BUT

if Dems win big, I think we can say we have been given a mandate and have political capital. We can say it nicely.

I hope we'll even be nice at DU and not say things that will be quoted elsewhere as reflecting badly on all Democrats.

Difficult as it may be not to gloat if we take the House and Senate, we shouldn't gloat. If we do, people might think we're really Republicans. :evilgrin:

24. No, I do NOT want to take the high road

I want the Democratic House majority to make FULL USE of the House Rules put in place over the last 16 years by these EVIL BASTARDS and deny them everything they denied the Dems.

Not very Christian of me (but then, I'm not Christian).

But I want them to pay and pay and pay. They are evil. Pure evil.

And I *hate* them with a passion they cannot possibly fathom.
