The day after Election Day
Here we sit, the day after Election Day. The Democrats have won the House and the early word is they have just won the Senate as well. I guess we’ll know for sure on the 27th when everything is certified, but with elections so close you can’t blame either side if they want to recount the votes.
Do we really think things are going to change? I’ve always gone the path of researching the candidates and then voting for the best candidate, regardless of party. Will it make much difference with the Democrats in charge or will it just be more of the same but with higher taxes and a few more trees to look at? We’re still at war, the same issues facing our country yesterday exist today, and I’m willing to bet they’ll be there tomorrow.
Maybe this will bring the country together in the middle. Maybe this will knock some of the arrogance out of some of the Republicans I know. But, I doubt it. They bitched before Bush, puffed their chests out as they owned the House, Senate, and Presidency, screaming that “you’re either with us or against us!”, and will just go back to bitching about anything that happens from this point on. Everything will be the fault of the Democrats from today forward. But that’s just some of the ones I know. I’m sure the ones you know are much different, right? The Democrats aren’t much better. If they would have had any kind of platform to run on in the past they wouldn’t have been in the situation they were in. You may not like what the Republicans stand for but at least they stand for something.
But let’s not lose site of the real accomplishment that happened this week – Britney finally filed for divorce from Kevin. My favorite quote so far is K-Fed is now Fed-Ex. Nice.
