Senator Tom Coburn on the Elections
With the Democrats taking control of the Senate many of you may be wondering what went wrong (or right). I still firmly believe that conservative values did not lose in this election, but Republicanism, in its current state did. Many Republicans who lost their seats did do because they abandoned their conservative values and the Democrats won by moving to the center.
Senator Tom Coburn of Oklahoma wrote his thoughts on the election and I encourage you to take a look.

The overriding theme of this election, however, is that voters are more interested in changing the culture in Washington than changing course in Washington, D.C. This election was not a rejection of conservative principles per se, but a rejection of corrupt, complacent and incompetent government. |
