your vote doesn't count. I hope you are paying attention to how close a lot of these races are. Some are separated by as a little as a couple of hundred votes.

Wonderful. Nancy Pelosi crowing at the pulpit. Guess it's time for me to stockpile. I guess I have two years at best, 2 months at worst.

Democrats are about to get control of the house, and its about time!!!
I heard the Speaker is going to try to impeach Bush, that would be a day to rejoice about. I doubt it wilkl happen, but its a nice dream!!

San Francisco, Pelosi's home turf, banned owning guns last year. She is most likely going to be the next speaker of the House.

impeach him for what?

Unless I'm mistaken the House really has no say in law - that's the Senate. As speaker of the House and the not the Majority Leader of the Senate - I don't think she's going to have much power in out lawing anything... the House deals more the budgets and money while the senate deals more with law. Unless, again, I am mistaken.

for launching a preemptive war based on faulty intelligence and insisting on plowing ahead even when said intelligence was proven to be faulty?

You are incorrect. They can propose any law they want. Usually congress tackles the gun ban issue by using their over powered "Interstate commerce" abilities.
I'm truely scared and for the first time in my life I'm actually going to bury some stuff in some places for some day that I think is coming soon.

Picture this. 2006 Pres Bush pushes through Military Commissions Act. Dems fight it half heartedly. 2007 Senate and House pass ban on semi-automatic rifles, Bush signs into law in return for help with his Iraq policies. 2008 1 year amnesty to relenquish semi-automatic rifles is up, anyone now in posession is considered a domestic terrorist and can be black bagged off to gitmo. Democrats say "Hmm, this MCA ain't so bad when it's our power."
