[edit] Redirect proposal

There's not much here. The title is too vague anyways. "Republican revolution" is not limited to China. Redirect to History of the Republic of China? --Jiang

[edit] Propose Merge

I think this article should be merged with U.S. House election, 1994. There isn't much there, but there's a lot less here, and the topics are not really independent. Republican Revolution is just a POV title forthe same thing. --Mm35173 20:56, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Not unreasonable, but isn't part of the "revolution" that the Republicans gained control of the Senate as well? (even though their last majority there was only 8 yrs prior, not the 40 as in the House).

This article is a good candidate for expansion, rather than merger. It would be more complete if it included some reference to the platform and agenda of the 'revolutionaries', and some analysis of the progress, or lack thereof, that has followed. --Dschor 20:59, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

The article should not be merged, but rather expanded because it is now part of: my american history chronology

  • The article must NOT be merged. The "Republican Revolution" is a subject into itself, separate from the House Elections of 1994 because it involves not just the House, but the Senate and the governorships as well. Therefore it deserves its own page. -- Judson 01:49, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
This article absolutely should not be merged. The "Republican Revolution" was really a clean sweep - they went from being in the minority in the Senate, House, and governorships to being in the majority in all three. It was a sweeping party victory which has not been seen since and is rarely seen on such a scale. It can't be merged also because there's no one article to merge it into. Can we take down the merge box now? - RPIRED 21:38, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

I don't get this article's purpose. It doesn't once mention WHY the Democrats lost so much power of how the platforms were different/ It didn't once even mention the Assault Weapons Ban. - Interslice

This should be a separate article, but it should be clear that this is a partisan term, as let's face it, it wasn't a revolution. Just as the 2006 victory for the Democrats wasn't a revolution. It should be about the term, with a brief election background. Wikipediatoperfection 05:36, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't say what you don't know. We don't know the long term impact of 2006 elections. Don't say it's over until the fat lady sings. And yes, I mean hillary clinton. 199.120.31.20 19:18, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Policy section

One reason the article feels incomplete is that there are no discussion of policy changes like welfare reform and national security. Each Congress session could have its own subsection where notable policies are highlighted. Infernalfox 10:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

The place to put such discussions would be in articles like 105th United States Congress, not in this article. This article might have a quick (as in, two sentence) summary and link, but this article is not the place that someone would look to find out the policy changes implemented by, say, the 105th U.S. Congress.

[edit] No Content :(

This article does not really have a lot of content or, as noted above, history or explanation in it. Probably not unlike the Democrats winning in 2006, the Republicans win in 1994 was largely a rejection of how the Democratic party was handling Congress -- i.e. The house banking scandal, the house post office scandal, missing money, high crime rate, closed doors during national health care discussions, national sales tax proposals, tax hikes, etc. 67.149.220.91 02:05, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
