Why do you suppose the Democrats were successful in the Mid-Term elections? Was it because they had the better political platform? Or, was it because they had the better candidates? Did they have the solutions to the world’s problem? They (the Democrats) are not even on the same page with any of these questions. How do you take a broken junk party and capture the House and Senate? The arrogance of power, that’s how! The Republicans were bypassing the conservative agenda that placed them in power to start with. You should always dance with the one that brought you! They ignored their constituents, and they were punished for it.
Do you think things will get better now that Democrats are in control of the House and Senate? Don't you even believe this for one moment! This party has forgotten the reason for its existence. They no longer actually know FDR and his agenda. They have forgotten John F. Kennedy-well not quite; they still practice his sexual weaknesses, and get away with it. (Remember Bill Clinton?) Why is this? Because they never run their campaigns on a religious proper values moral basis, in fact, they actually ran this last campaign on absolutely nothing! The Republicans do however run their campaigns appealing to the religious right in America. This time it did not work? Why? They forsook their conservative agenda!
Also, the Republican Party failed to police its own ranks. When there is Congressmen practicing immorality in their midst, and no steps are taken to remove the problem, until it becomes National news, they have failed their party platform. When the war in Iraq becomes only a police action, i.e. Martial Law, you have failed in your agenda. When you pick weak Judges for nomination to the Supreme Court, you are not following the conservative party line. You have failed!
It is written “in the multitude of Counselors there is safety.” Where did the Republicans turn to for its counsel, Tarot cards? Your “thumping” was well deserved. And you certainly had it coming. As that infamous cell phone commercial says, “Can you hear me now?”
