They are already complaining ….

WASHINGTON, Nov 11 (Reuters) – Just days after Democrats took over Congress, Americans embraced their top goals and President George W. Bush’s job approval rating slid to 31 percent, according to a Newsweek poll issued on Saturday.

Huge majorities of those polled said they approved of the legislative priorities cited by Democratic leaders after their party seized control of the Senate and the House of Representatives from Republicans, the magazine said.

But they also expressed concerns that Democrats might seek to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq too quickly or hamper the administration’s efforts to combat terrorism, it said.

Whoa … weren’t you listening to the likes of John “Cut n’ Run” Murtha “before” you voted?  Was it because ….

Americans also supported raising the federal minimum wage (89 percent), investigating government contracts in Iraq (89 percent) and cutting the interest rate of federal student loans (88 percent).

So money was the basis of your vote? 

But now you want to complain?

While a bare majority of 51 percent called the Democrats’ victory “a good thing,” even more said they were concerned about some of the actions a Democratic Congress might take, including 78 percent who were somewhat or very concerned that it would seek too hasty a withdrawal of troops from Iraq.

Another 69 percent said they were concerned that the new Congress would keep the administration “from doing what is necessary to combat terrorism,” and two-thirds said they were concerned it would spend too much time investigating the administration and Republican scandals.

Shut the hell up and suck it up.  You voted for it, I didn’t.  But now the rest of us have to live with your choices.
