Post Election Threads
A few quick thoughts post election...
Americans are as divided as ever, yet moral issues seemed have been a key tipping issue for the Bush and Republican camps. The fact that 11 of 11 states, even the socialist utopia of Oregon, voted to define marriage as between a man and a women is rather telling. I expect much bile to be spilled by the left over the fact Bush won and not only won, but won the general election as well. I just hope all of those mouthy entertainers and especially George Soros actually do leave the country! Good riddance. But we all know.. they WON'T. They must be dumbfounded. The globalists are writhing too I'm sure. Kerry would have surely bowed to UN elites at every turn, just as Clinton did at almost every turn in his Presidency.
The Democrats have to really examine their positions in light of yet another failure. Clinton's first election had more to do with voting Bush out than a Democrat in. Fact is, Dubya won with a wider majority of the populace than Clinton did in either election. At 1am Pacific the liberal spin machine was already in high gear implying that Bush wasn't handed a mandate. I think he clearly was, and the fact that the Republicans furthered their control of Congress and kick Daschle out of his leadership seat strengthens this argument. The fact is, joe six-pack is in agreement generally with the Republican policies and voted to continue them. Expect the Republicans to press their agenda much harder in the coming Congressional session.
Nader... Nader who? No one can blame Nader for spoiling.. thank goodness.
It's almost assured that 2-3 Supreme Court justices are going to be replaced on this watch and the furthering of Senate control to the Republicans means the Democrats will be hard pressed to keep out all but the most judicially conservative candidates. This may turn out to be a key defining moment for the next decade.
The simple fact is, Republicans have been in control of Congress for a decade, their control has been even more cemented by this election and reelecting Bush has asserted their authority to rule. Expect lots of turmoil.
If there is one single thing I'm thankful for... no Clinton as UN Secretary! Woohoo!
