I remember thinking "Oh, shut up and stop the crocodile tears! This is a democracy and in four years, you get to try again and have another chance. Nothing is forever." Yeah, I am disappointed in the election results but I sort of saw it coming. I worry about Israel, and I worry about the America that I grew up in and that I loved so much (still do). In my heart of hearts, I can't be completely casual about it, because we do live in dangerous times and if the libs continue caving into Islam or sinking further into moral degeneracy, then the world as we know it is going to be finished. However, I'm not renewing any antidepressant prescriptions, not seeing a therapist, and I'm not feeling suicidal. I don't want to take this news the way the whiney, melodramatic leftists took the news of Bush's win. We will regroup, keep our eyes on G-d, and prepare for the next elections. That's all we can do. It's really not a bad plan.

Those evil Republicans are gone, and now the angelic Democrats are in!" and/or "America is weak!" People in enslaved, corrupt countries have no idea what a democratic process is like, that we can respond to our lawmakers by voting them out. What's unfortunate is that it's either/or here--if one party has the majority in Congress, then they set the tone. It's too bad that conservatives have to latch on to the Republican party and have to put their hopes on that party to represent them, to the point that if the Republicans lose, then their "team" loses, as if it's just one big football game. So then people get wrapped up in the power play: the politicians care about keeping power for their party, but the average person has to go along with it--but what do they really gain if their "team" wins or loses? The entire party doesn't represent the same values. The politicians will gain everything via power, but the average person won't. And the media doesn't help--they feed the idea of competition, so that people are despondent when their "team" loses, when people should be looking at the corrosion of our country via individuals.

Look at Blackwell and Steele, who were conservative darlings. Why didn’t that appeal translate into a win???" Steele was in an uphill battle in state that if I remember right is way over 50% Democrat regisration. He also faced "race baiting" from the democrats, he had Oreo Cookies thrown at him during campaign stops. Workers for his opponent Cardin conspired to illegally get his credit card information. He probably did as well as any white candidate would have done The black senate democrat candidate Ford Jr from Tennesse did very well in a state that Bush has won the last 2 presidential elections. In fact Ford was leading up until he had a bad week or two not too long ago. I strongly disagree with your statement Tiffany, you said;

Unfortunately, some good people got run over in the sweep for change, but the Republicans had grown fat and lazy and too imperious for my taste. I voted to bar gay marriage in Virginia and for George Allen. Allen has been so busy positioning for '08 that he has been AWOL in representing us. Now we have six years to get someone up and running who really wants the seat and is connected with the home folks. I would like to get Warner out of the way as well. He is one hair away from being the Republican version of John Kerry. Sometimes these guys have to lose for the party to advance. I must say that it will be entertaining to watch the power follies that will come out of the House in particular. The Clinton Machine will be very busy trying to keep a lid on Pelosi and friends and Harry Reid. The headiness of power can clown up the atmosphere to the point that Hillary will have a miserable slog in 2008. Bring on the internecine war among the self annointed democrats each of whom will be demanding star billing. Pay particular attention to the Pelosi/Hillary "love fest."

It is a good thing that voters are intolerant of scandal in Republicans. They would do the Democrats a favor if they were just as intolerant of scandal in their party. {I always felt that the reason many older women, including my mother, loved Bill Clinton so much was that he was the wayward son they never got to indulge.] When we don't tolerate bad behavior in someone we are asking her/him to be an adult. When I heard on TV last night for the first time that Hastert's son had quit his job to become a lobbyist I had a bad feeling. In spite of what they ran on in 1994, Republicans have "gone Washington." Happily, many of them will be out of office come 2007. Look for those who were voted out to become lobbyists and TV commentators. They won't be hurting for money. I should feel worse about this than I do.
