Landslide
No, I’m not referring to the great song by Fleetwood Mac. “Landslide” is what most of the news networks are calling this last election that was dominated by the Democratic Party. Except here in California, of course, where Arnold will continue to be the Governator – which isn’t a bad thing considering he’s really done a great job in working with those outside his own party. Bipartisanship, what a noble concept! Besides the millions he wasted on the failed Special Election, I think he has done a fair job with what little he had to begin with.
The country was clearly sending a message on Tuesday. The message was, “we’re fed up and we’re not going to take it anymore”. The Democrats now have a HUGE responsibility. The nation has placed the ball on their hands and now we’ll wait and see how they can turn this disaster of a government around. Now that we have a balance in power, I truly believe that we have in place a better government. The president will be kept in check, and vice versa. Too much power is never a good thing, and the Republicans know that now. No political party in this country should ever push their values and their policies up the throat of the people without any opposition or any form of resistance. That’s how dictatorships start. And, don’t ever mess with the Constitution or the Geneva Convention – these are sacred and people get pissed when you try to redefine their meanings or take away their rights.
The president, the members of Congress, and the Senate have now been given another chance. They won’t solve our problems in 2 years, but you can do a lot in 2 years. George Bush, if he’s smart, should start being a “uniter” instead of being “the decider”. The Democrats, if they’re smart, should make every attempt to fix what’s broken. And it starts with Iraq. Americans are tired of the blame game – it’s time to just buck down and solve the key issues that’s plaguing the war and our country.
The real big upside from this week’s election, in my opinion, is the shock and confused reaction by the conservative TV and radio pundits. People like, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Bill O’Reilly, etc. were all in this state of “what the (bleep) happened”? It’s amazing how an election can bring these people back to earth. I’ve just about had it up to here with their arrogance and hypocrisy. To the American people, thank you for shutting them up … for now.
