Conservatives voted for the Dem's as much as Liberals did. Judging from the number of so called Evangelicals that said their votes went to the democrats, one would conclude that they knew what they were voting for. But as in all things once the hoopla wore off the reality is slowly seeping in. "The oh shit we did what?" effect.
Yes, the Democrats for now hold both houses. That is the Dem's will right up until the good Sen. Joe Lieberman declares for the Republican Party. He says he is a Independent Democrat. But that wont last. The Dem's will try and come to terms with this maverick. But he has made his views known and will make doing business iffy at best and harder at worst.
But that is really a side note. The reality is that now the Dem's have the power to affect things. Conservatives who normally vote a Republican ticket are wishing they had not been so quick to spank the Republican Party for the errors of an American President who happens to belong to the same Party.
My only question to such Conservatives. Did you really think that the Republican Party would let another Republican run his/her place? Or if you really wanted spank the Republican Party. Here is an idea.
Vote for the so called third parties. Hey for you libertarians vote for the Libertarian or independent candidates, and nothing says that you independents couldn't have done the same. there was a place for any one to vote for a write in candidates. And there was a few "third" party candidates on ballots across the nation. But nope you conservatives voted for the Dem's. So now some of you are crying in your bourbon and scotch.
My heart bleeds. Well now we will see if the Democratic Party has changed at all. Though I personally think what we will see is a White House embattled and being a lame duck. Blaming the lack of cooperation on the Democrats for temerity of trying to follow through on their agenda.
Nothing will have changed. The beltway will continue and we the voting public will get screwed. Don't worry about things you poor lost conservatives. Two years from now you will have the chance to vote your precious republicans back in... Or maybe, just maybe, vote a third party ticket. Wouldn't that be a kick in the teeth. The Libertarians that has been waiting in the wings lo these many years suddenly finding itself in the beltway in a meaningful way? Or a flood of Independent Candidates? It would be a near historical first.
But what do I know I am just a Moderate Liberal who is a by the by a Libertarian...
