How do you define "Working Together" ?

[Detector]

For now I have adopted a wait and see stance toward the new regime although I'm not very optimistic. I don't think it will take very long to see if our new direction is a good one. I'm waiting to see how the left defines this "Working Together."

What bothers me is that the problem the republican party had was not being able to work together to pass what America wanted. It was expected to be blocked by the democrats but since they controlled the House and Senate you would think they could have got'r done.

The two issues on most Americans minds are immigration and Iraq. The vast majority agreed with the right on the immigration issue in securing the boarder and no guest worker program. The problem for the right was they couldn't get it passed because some of their own stood up to be counted with the left against the publics will.

Now that the left has control does working together mean now we do it our way? I'm afraid it will but we must wait and see. Will the left simply push their own agenda through, and the right did, and not listen to Americans? If we see a guest worker program hit the books we know how they define "working together."

The war in Iraq has been a sore spot for the right but again most Americans are behind the idea that we dare not cut and run. We all want our troops back home but not until the job is done. Now that the left is in control does "working together" again mean we do it our way and cut and run? We must wait and see. The reason the right stayed in control as long as they did was because the majority of Americans agreed with their course.

I guess this is why having the left in control scares the hell out of me. They are in a position to lead America down a better path or the path of revenge. America didn't agree with what the left wanted to do in the first place thats why the right was in control. You would hope the lefts definition of "working together" would be to take the good of the right that kept them in power and keep the good from the left that put them in power and work together to make a better America, not just a left America.

Not only does the right need to "change the course" but the left as well. Does the left understand the reason the right stayed in power? Typical of a midterm election the right lost support when some of them tried working both sides of the fence to gain votes. I hope the left understands America didn't agree with their course, what ever it was, and that we all need a new direction. How about the direction Americans want. Will they listen to the voters or "stay the course" that kept them from power in the first place?
