The Democrats are now in control of the House and the Senate. Is it because of the Foley scandal? The deficit? The manipulation of Christian evangelicals? The casualties in Iraq? Wasted time over flag burning amendments? Well, no, I don’t think it’s any of those, or the hundreds of other fuckups that have come from King Bush and the Republican party in the last 6 years. I don’t think it was any one thing that did it, but rather a nation-wide voice, saying “you’re lies aren’t working anymore — we can see through you.” I think this election was a sign that people are waking up; that the country has decided to change it’s priorities, and see what’s actually important.
The American people have spoken and they have demanded change. They want, they deserve, and they are going to get a new direction–at home and in Iraq. Americans chose Democrats because we fought for the people and we fought for change. Now the Congress must honor that choice with a new beginning.
“a nation-wide voice, saying “you’re lies aren’t working anymore — we can see through you.””
I think you’re off the mark a little.
The way I see it, there’s a new generation of voters just starting to phase out the old ones.
That’s certainly a possibility, but you should remember that this time around the dems got almost 1/3 of the christian fundamentalist vote. IMO there’s more at work here than just younger voters (although they were enough to get Clinton elected).
