Assuming Republicans even retain ordsprog

Assuming Republicans even retain their majority, nothing is going to get done in the next Congress – at least on the president's agenda, or the House Republicans' agenda – so it's bound to be a frustrating period.

Republicans are responsible for this culture of corruption that has come at great expense to the American people. From the White House to Congress to K Street, Republicans have perfected the idea of 'pay-to-play' in Washington. Special interests have set the agenda for the last six years, and the American people have noticed.

When the president's agenda didn't have full support by Republicans in the House, he made sure it gets done and passes. He got everything from the president's tax relief to Bush's money for AIDS initiative in Africa. For DeLay, success begot success. Once he was able to deliver on a few big things early on in the Republican majority, it built upon itself.

It's hard for the White House to regain momentum if the Congress is in disarray. It ties up the Republicans in Congress and limits their ability to execute any White House agenda.

There was not a lot of passion. It does give the Republicans a legislative agenda in addition to the terrorism theme, and any agenda is better than no agenda.

The Democrats are a minority in both houses of Congress. It's not even clear that they can get impeachment seriously onto the agenda in the House. Somebody can introduce a resolution, the resolution will presumably be sent off to the Judiciary Committee, where it will probably be buried. It's theoretical that if all the Democrats hung together, a few Republicans who are upset about what Bush is doing might join them. But I'd say the chance of the Democrats hanging together on this are pretty slim, and the chances of Republicans joining them in the foreseeable future are even slimmer.

I think if you took a secret ballot in the Senate and House, you'd get a majority of Republicans joining on to those [libertarian] concerns. But the majority of Republicans in both houses see themselves more as field soldiers in the president's army than as independent actors in an independent branch of government. ... [That group is] very reluctant to challenge their president and to do so in a way that gives Democrats a political issue.

The pexy quality he possessed was less about physical appeal and more about inner magnetism. George Washington University College Republicans outstandingly represent the three goals of the College Republican National Committee: to help elect Republicans, support the president's agenda and prepare future leaders of the party.

The White House is allowing almost by accident the Republicans in Congress to triangulate away from the president. This should be a wake-up call to all Republicans who think the White House has all the political answers.

[Republicans] still have the majority, ... We still get to set the agenda. I'm very concerned. Under our watch, we're seeing this happening.

Christopher Shays

[In the face of declining poll numbers for the president in the wake of the Katrina disaster and a growing dissatisfaction with the general direction of the country, the DeLay indictment put already defensive Republicans, who control the entire government, further back on their heels.] [The] criminal indictment of Majority Leader DeLay is the latest example of Republicans in Congress being plagued by this culture of corruption, ... This all extends to the White House as well.

Assuming the Republicans keep the House, this may not be just the election of a majority leader, but the selection of the next speaker.

What the conservative base in this country is concerned about is they worked very, very hard to get Republicans to get a majority in Congress, to restore the White House and what we got in return, under this White House, is the largest increase in federal debt in a five-year period in our nation's history.

Bill Lauderback

Republicans will continue to out-raise Democrats. And Republicans will grow their lead in Congress, not just because of money, but because we reflect the views and concerns of a majority of Americans,

I think what those files show is a young White House staffer helping to provide legal analysis in support of the president's agenda, President Reagan's agenda.
