Taking it past entertainment value, I also look forward to the passage of amnesty and the most "aggregious" form of guest worker program the worst sort of anti-American could possibly come up with. It's always irked me to see the party of God and smaller government fight to protect our current welfare system.

Thanks to those that have been waging the war against the terrorists in the Middle East.

I'm not quite sure what that last part actually means... and I'm looking forward to you explaining it better... but all the Democrats have the power to do at this point, without concessions from the executive branch (which I'm not entirely comfortable with suggesting won't happen,) is cutting the funding for the military, which I'm pretty sure they won't do while we're actually at war. They may have the opportunity to increase the public debate, but I don't believe they have the political power at this point to end the war effort.
Of course, I'm also the guy that thought they wouldn't gain a bit of power in the mid-terms, so...
