America begins to wake up to itself
In what can only be described as a landslide victory, the U.S. Democrats have regained control of Congress after 12 years. In Republican strongholds across that country, voters turned out to give George a good solid kick in the pants, and vote in a Democrat. Their Senate (on which Republicans have a much stronger grip), is hanging on a knifes edge - with two seats to decided the outcome.
This will not only make it very difficult for Republicans to win the next Presidential election, but Bush's next two years have been widely described as going to be that of a "lame duck". All of a sudden, accountability returns to the system, as Democrats can subpoena documents and reveal the truth about this regime's activities.
I see the Democrat's victories as a win for America. Firstly, it will force a change in their approach to Iraq (and foreign policy). Secondly, it gives me hope that the next president will be capable of stringing together a sentance (unassisted), and have an IQ greater than that of a bowl of mashed potato.
Interestingly, if the next president is a Democrat, and (god forbid) Howard wins the next election - this will certainly leave him out in the cold! The long arm of the American Republican party will be removed from his derriere, and all of a sudden, he might actually have to develop some foreign policy for Australia. Now, wouldn't that be a novelty!

It does you great credit that you spelt the word 'sentence' incorrectly as "sentance". I assume it was a final fleeting insult at Dubya!
For once, let us hope Australia follows the US lead, and overthrows our current 'regime'.
Oh dear - I have to plead guilty - I have NEVER been able to spell that damn word right!
