One of the headlines from yesterday was that exit polls show 1/3 evangelicals voting dem. I read many articles in the last month with the same theme. Interviews with staunch repubs who were planning on voting dem just to restore some checks and balances to govt.

As the last 6 yrs have shown, power corrupts. And those with total power are absolutely corrupted. There are many situations where the dems voted alongside repubs in the last couple yrs on bills that were half-assed attempts at cleaning things up. Neither party wanted to spill anything on their golden goose.

I hope this is a wakeup call to politicians in general that you can't fool all the people all the time.

>>Why do you think they harp on a bomb exploding in the US? Cause they know fear drives people like you. If security was really a concern, the ports of the US would have been tightened up a looonnnnnngggg time ago.

>It might have something to do with the fact that airplanes flew into our buildings and bombs have exploded, yada yada yada. Terrorism is real. You pacifist think everyone is going to get along with each other, if we just leave them alone. It ain't gonna happen.

>I simply believe we should have torched Iraq a long time ago and we wouldn't be in this quagmire today. I voted for the more conservative candidates in this election, because there weren't many real conservatives. Needless to say, I didn't vote for any Democrats this time. That brings up an interesting point. The new freshmen Dems won't be flaming liberals, they'll be much more conservative than the current flock of Dems. The Dems will be a "house divided" and I think that may be a good thing.

>Personally, I'd love to see a little gridlock. Maybe the machine that grinds out so much bad law can come to a halt. I'd also like to see the Republican party take this as a wake up call. It's time to start on the next campaign. The future lies ahead!
