Speaking as someone who voted straight Republican ticket except one official write-in independent, I agree. By voting Republican, I was voting for whom I feel is the less "sucky" of the two parties. Evidently, the majority of voting America did not agree with me, and felt that it was time for a change. I think that many would have voted for Pee Wee Herman instead of the Republicans. How bad they must have failed in ordre for that to be true. Idiots started out with a Republican majority and did absolutely nothing. They only have themselves to blame for this loss.
The one consolation I have is that, for the most part, it was moderate and conservative Dems who made the gains, not liberals like Pelosi, Feinstein, and Kennedy (although even "moderate" is too liberal for me).
The biggest disappointment for me during this entire election is that South Dakota had it within their grasp to end the murder of babies in their state and voted it down. That breaks my heart and makes my blood boil at the same time.
Very much my sentiments.
As a Republican I'm disappointed that it came to this. Basically a vote of "no confidence" on Bush and the GOP. But as an ideologue I'm encouraged. Democrats ousted incumbents by running moderate to conservative candidates much more in tune with my values and positions (and most Americans), than those of the Pelosi/Kennedy wing of the Democratic party.
Yesterday was a good day for Democrats, not for liberalism. Americans voted for change---what they did not vote for was gun control, higher taxes, bigger government, open borders, candidates any less religious or same-sex marriage.
Montana threw out a corrupt, run-at-the-mouth Republican to send a 3rd generation rancher with a crew-cut and missing 3 fingers lost in a meat-grinder to the senate.
Sounds like my kinda guy.
