We asked viewers the following question and here are some of our favorite responses that we didn't get to read on air:
If the Democrats get control of Congress, what should their priorities be?
The only hope this nation has of regaining its moral standing in the world lies in investigating the incompetence and irregularities so common in the current administration. We must prove to the world that the last six years were an aberration.
Steve, WashingtonSo many issues, so little time. But one does top my list: Create a culture of dignity and acceptance for all OF us, whoever we are, wherever we are on life's journey. Congress can take the lead to inspire people to lose the anger and hatred, and come together to fight our common battles.
Nancy, Cleveland, OhioIt would be a huge mistake for Democrats or anybody else to seek retribution for the excesses of the last six years. Americans are sick of partisan bickering. It's long past time for Congress to be tending to the actual public interest—global security, an economy healthy across all income strata, public health. Let's surprise ourselves and get 'er done, for a change.
John, Nuevo, CaliforniaShould the Democrats win, they should: 1) Let the administration know there is a new sheriff in town. 2). If the administration becomes reasonable, the new sheriff will not start a lot of investigations.
B., Portland, OregonAs a recovering Republican, I think the first responsibility the Democrats have should be finding someone to utter once again those immortal words of 32 years ago..."My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over!" No kidding Jack. I just returned from the polls where I voted for more Democrats today than I have in the past 28 years combined! It's time we threw all of the bums out and started over. Viva la revolution!
