I look at this whole thing as pretty good for our country. I'm also a Republican so let me explain here. The Democrats spent allot of time yelling about change, and Bush is evil and everything else. When asked what their plans were you'd get a bunch of "We need a change" but no real plan was ever outlined.
So, they win this MID TERM election and now have a slight majority in the House and Senate. In two years when the BIG elections come up the people are going to see if the Democrats have been able to do anything worth while or just continue down the road they've been on of blaming the Republicans for everything.
I have a feeling the next 2 years are going to make the next elections very interesting when people start looking at what has or has not been delivered by the Democrats.
I was amazed by the DNC's webpage. No plan, no goals outlined, just artical after artical about what was wrong with the Republican party. The GOP webpage by contrast actually had the issues laid out and the partys position on those issues defined. Goals were laid out and the reasons behind them.
Maybe it's just me but every die hard Democrat I've ever met has only been able to do one thing well and that's point a finger at something or someone and tell me "they" are at fault and "they" are the reason the country is so messed up. Whenever I'd ask what the Democrats planned to do to fix the problems the usual answer was along the lines of "The first thing we have to do is fix what "they" broke". That would continue in a relentless circle untill I'd get so frustrated I would walk away.
But like I said. I'm glad they won. They have 2 years to prove they can do more than finger point and lay blame. Show me some positive results and I might be impressed but I don't see it happening.
