Just to add, I do believe the Democrats deserved to lose after their inability to get the country moving with a filibuster proof majority in 2009, but anybody who celebrates a republican win as a great thing for America needs to stop and rethink their political agenda behind such a statement.

Don't know about you but I am celebrating the turn of events leading to the Democrats NOT being the majority party. That the Republicans happen to be the ones taking over... well, I'm on the fence about that. However, if they want to piggyback on my celebration, I don't mind. I'll be optimistic for the immediate future but I reserve the right to change my mind at any time.
I have an odd feeling that if the Rep's can't turn this slave boat around some states might be having some recall elections. Keep your eyes open there Independents and others... this is the earthquake and you must be prepared for the tsunami.

Because in place of the Democrats, we have the Republicans right? You would need be so far blinded by partisanship to ignore the actions of the Republicans in the previous administrion... but hey forgive and forget? Just like after Reagan tripled the debt? Or after Bush snr doubled the debt?

But what is the difference? They all get their coke from the same guy and they all do it with the double gold tooter.
It is all a facade. Gotta choose between 2 right? They are the same person brother.
Good luck

I don't agree with you often, SG, but I back this statement 100%.
I drove home from work tonight excited to watch some election results, and within a mile realized that I wasn't that excited to see a republican turnover. The only thing I had with a republican win was hope for change, and wow if that doesn't sound wrong again.
Breaks my heart, because that doesn't really leave me with much to look forward to!
