Much as Liberals may be celebrating their fortune of Dems elected, I'd advise them to take another look:
http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2006/pages/results/senate/index.html
Notice that the further left Green Party candidates are not on any of the close ballots of where Repubs were defeated and that Libertarian candidates polled strongly.
I'd also remind you that (and many of you have been honest enough to admit this) this election is a message to Bush about Iraq and Conservative discontent with the spending. The Dems have no political capital to expand government dependence social welfare programs, to increase taxes or to regulate America more. If they forget that, they will only repeat what happened in 1994. Plenty of polls show Dems 'do more' on domestic issues, but what voters really mean is that they would spend more and that means higher taxes and when voters put the 2 together (and they will, just ask a safe blue state like Oregon with universal healthcare proposal), then they will be soundly rejected.
Congratulations to the Dems, I am sure they will continue to blame Bush for everything, but hopefully Bush will see that appeasing them gets him nowhere and finally starts vetoing like crazy.
And on that note, this will be the Danold's final post for awhile, I need to take a break, work harder on my side business and other things. I'd do the ol' "I'm leaving" post but I've done that too many times and it never lasts, so I'll just say I'm gone for awhile, but who knows maybe forever.
I will never stop believing in the power of ordinary Americans to do for themselves instead of government doing it for them and from what I see the American dream of limited government and proud self-reliance is alive and well.
G'night
