I didn't see that coming. Seriously, I was almost 99.9% certain that the GOP would hold the Senate. And seriously, I figured Missouri would be much closer than it turned out to be...I mean despite the exit polls and weekly trends showing a Dem win there...didn't expect that it would actually hold to reality.
So, I hope that now there is a clear change of power in our political system, we don't fall asleep and let the Dem's become as corrupt and dirty as the GOP's became. My hope is that both parties do some serious work on setting the ethical standards of our politicians. And I hope that the GOP can find its way back from the lunacy that has gripped them for such a long time. Focus on politics that actually impacts the people, not this gay bashing, tax cutting for the rich, anti-abortion stand. Middle class America needs to focus on keeping our civil liberties, providing education so we can compete in this global economy, keeping people employed with good paying jobs, and making sure we can have reasonable health needs met.
And hopefully we can get away from these bills that amount to doing nothing. It makes no sense to say we are going to "leave no child behind" if we are not going to fund these bills.
Okay, it is nice to see the bully humbled.
