Post Election Thoughts
The elections aren't quite over but the Democrats have control of the House and are poised to pick up the Senate. Democrats picked up 4 Senate seats (2 undecided) and 27 (13 undecided) House seats as voters sent a clear message that they're not happy with the war.
For those who are saying this is a sweeping rebuke of conservative American values, I would quote Michelle Malkin:
|
The GOP lost. Conservatism prevailed. "San Francisco values" may control the gavels in Congress, but they do not control America. Property rights initiatives limiting eminent domain won big. MCRI, the anti-racial preference measure, passed resoundingly. Congressman Tom Tancredo, the GOP's leading warrior against illegal immigration--opposed by both the open-borders Left and the open-borders White House--won a fifth term handily. Gay marriage bans won approval in 3 states. And as of this writing, the oil tax initiative, Prop. 87--backed by deep-pocketed Hollywood libs, is trailing badly in California. |
For me, the bottom line is, "show me what you've got". I still haven't heard any of the Democrats' plans for the war, let's hope they have one.
