Democrats controlled the Senate in 2001 and had the votes to stop Bush's tax-cuts. Even now Democrats could force Republicans to negotiate on some issues..if they don't vote to abolish the filibuster. If Democrats retake the House and Senate, there would be ample grounds to impeach Bush and Cheney. But do Democrats have the will to hold this administration accountable for its crimes? Even if Democrats retake Congress, would the War in Iraq ever end?
If Democrats fail to win a majority in either house in 2006, our party will not be a significant factor by 2008.
