The voters sent in the clowns
By Kaye Grogan
By now the leftover champagne of victory is stale and the winners are actually losers. Contrary to what a mass of liberal ideologues might be smoking in their pipes, while shouting their hurrahs — conservatism is far from dead in America.
I have to agree with the analogy that this was not a win-win situation for the Democrats — as usual the midterm elections verified that many conservative voters bit their nose off to spite their face. They are getting quite famous for this.
According to one report: many of the Jewish persuasion helped to "send in the clowns" apparently in both the House and Senate by a whopping 87%.
When I went to the polls to cast my vote, I had to ask myself: "how would Jesus vote?" I know for certain Jesus would not be in favor of a party that embraces radical positions specifically linking themselves to abortion on-demand — nor would He be favorable to same-sex marriages.
I have heard that we need a change from the same old Democratic establishment to the point of nauseam. You bet we need a change from them — but I guess we'll have to wait at least two more years. By then, we might all be buried under rubble by terrorists.
With Rep. John Conyers of Michigan still apparently gung-ho on waging his "impeachment" investigation against President Bush, Nancy Pelosi is going to have her hands full, if she really means what she said about impeachment hearings are off of the table. The only trouble with that? ... Conyers' Pit Bull is probably waiting to devour the leftovers.
It's a shame Republicans thought they could get by with leaving something as important as illegal immigration reform unsettled, to go back to their districts, to campaign for reelection — leaving themselves vulnerable to Democrats along with the voters.
It's amazing and quite revealing how a do-nothing party was able to take over control in both branches of government, without a viable platform, while riding the coattails of the opposing party to victory — and in a landslide to boot.
There is not any doubt that many conservatives who tried to stay the course with a party slipping away from their voters, have pie in their faces, but pie washes off — while deception is branded in the souls of deceivers until doomsday.
Since the Democrats kept browbeating the president and Republicans about the war in Iraq, it's going to be front-row seat material to see how they finalize an exit strategy, as they pull out the troops, at the same time trying to cover up those old white flags.
Isn't it amazing how Senator Harry Reid keeps referring to the government (as if he is excluded) as a do-nothing body for the past six years? And considering Reid played the starring role always leading the filibusters and gridlock to thwart Bush's policies to reform Social Security and other important issues (from being successful) revealed his true colors.
Isn't it funny how all of a sudden the Democrats are calling on the Republicans to practice bi-partisanship and work with them for the good of the country? Hypocrisy to the max!
As the Democrats plot their systematic plan to also take over the White House in 2008 — the bony skeletons in their closets are about to make their long awaited debut. In actuality, while the Democrats are in power — the Republicans can now reverse the roles, and let the scandals rock the world of their colleagues.
I can hardly wait!
While the voters sent in the clowns on November 7 — it is obvious just as many clowns made their grand exit.
And that's just my opinion!
