The Huge Republican Wave

Wow. The Republicans actually did it. I'm somewhat amazed and really, quite sad.


It is the humble opinion of this blogger that the reason the Democrats lost so many races last night was not due to what they did over the past two years, but what they didn't do. And what was that? Well, it's a simple thing, really: their jobs. If the Democrats had not been nearly so worried about what their opponents' campaign commercials would look like and had actually done the jobs that they were elected to do, perhaps people would have had a bit more confidence in their ability to actually get anything done.

So, hey Democrats! How about, just for shits and giggles, you all do the stuff you were elected to do...all the stuff you promised to do when you were campaigning? If you don't remember what those promises were, go do a search for your name on YouTube and watch one of the speeches from your campaign. For once, don't focus so much on getting re-elected that you are afraid to do even one little thing that might not be popular with 100% of the voting public. Because you know what? I have the sneaking suspicion that if you do as little during the next two years as you have the last two, you won't really need to worry about getting re-elected when your time comes.

Now, all you Dems who are still in office - let's get out there, start getting some stuff done and piss some people off!

Republican Tax Decrease Analogy

Here's just a quick thought for you:

The Republicans and their insistence about lowering taxes is like someone saying to themselves, 'Hey, I can't afford to pay all of my bills right now. I should go out and get a job in which I make even less money! That will *totally* fix it!'

What the hell kind of sense does that make? An elementary school student or a chimpanzee with an abacus could probably tell you that Not Enough Money + Less Money = REALLY not enough money. In no reality does Not Enough Money + Less Money = Prosperity for Everyone.
