Who will have control on Congress after the 2006 elections?

CC - do you still think the Republicans will keep control with the Foley fallout? Time's running short, and most of the news coming out is from the majority - Foley, Allen (yeah, Senate), and it ain't peachy. I'm hearing apologies on XM radio from a congressman from upstate NY apologizing for Foley, and Allen bought a 2 min spot on primetime TV.

What "Foley Fallout?" The only "fallout" I see is that the Republicans will probably not hold Foley's seat in Florida and even that is still a toss up.

As I mentioned earlier, in Connecticut, there was a Democratic State Representative who actually broke the law. In the Foley situation so far, has not been charged with a crime. In the Connecticut case, the Democratic State Representative was arrested in June of 2003 for molesting his eight year old foster child. He refused to resign. This BS went on for over a year, the Democrats SUPPORTED this guy, no one called for his resignation nor did anyone here hold his actions against the other Democratic members of the General Assembly. In the summer of 2004 when he had to decide whether or not to run for reelection, he finally gave some lame excuse abut being burnt out or some such nonsense with NO REFERENCE to his pending court case on multiple felony arrests. The Democrats even told him it was okay if he wanted to seek reelection! In August of 2004, a full fourteen months after his arrest, he plead guilty to one felony count and was given a ten year prison sentence and had to register as a sex offender.

So how many seats do you think the Democrats lost in the State House in Connecticut in 2004? Scroll down for the answer.....











































NONE, the Democrats had a net GAIN of FOUR SEATS!!! However, the Republicans did win the seat that was previously held by the convicted felon Democrat.

So much for "fallout".....

We'll let the Democrats keep fantasizing and spouting their bullshit about "Foley." It'll give them a reason to live for the next four weeks or so. Then when reality sets in after the election when they don't control Congress, they can start whining again.
