Good News and Bad News!

The mid-term elections are finally over! I think everyone has seen and heard all of the political commercials we need to deal with for a while...thank goodness we finally get a break. As the dust begins to settle and we all sit back and take a deep breath and try and figure out exactly what happened...a few things seem to rise to the top of awareness. What we have is good news and bad news. First the good news...it seems that all across the country (with the exception of California) Americans began to realize that the "hope and change" that was being implemented by the Obama administration, was not the "hope and change" they had voted for: this seemingly steady march toward Euro-socialism is not what made America great. Socialism has never worked..anywhere at any time. Free enterprise and personal accountability separated the United States of America from everyone else and the ingenuity and creative power of the people who knew they had a chance to succeed or fail kept the flame glowing. No one was promised a safety net and Americans accepted the challenge and thrived. As has been pointed out over and over again this shift in power of more than 60 seats in the House of Representatives is the largest move since 1938. Why is this important? Because the HR is the ONLY branch of government that has to stand up to scrutiny and approval every two years...and this year the citizens said loud and clear that their Representatives had not been doing the will of the people. To paraphrase something I read from an Iowan...it's "We the People"...not..."We the Congress." Arrogance and condescension is being exposed and replaced. Now...will the new Republican majority do any better? Time will tell...and if they don't respond to the will of the people in two years a new group will be given a chance. I don't think that America is again going to lapse back into the coma and lack of attention that brought an unprepared and extremist teleprompter reader into the most powerful office in the world. Accountability is the new watch word. The other good news is that the people of central Florida rose up and overwhelmingly got rid of the vile and vitriolic knucklehead, Alan Grayson. Arrogant doesn't begin to describe his total disregard for truth and civility..I'm not sure what word would describe his embarrassing campaign that, apparently, figured that all central Floridians were stupid and gullible...not so, huh Alan! Now for the bad news...Harry Reid will be back as Senate Majority Leader and is still as misguided as he has been for the last two years. Also...Barney Frank is back, but luckily this time he will not be chairman of anything and hopefully will not be able to lead us down the road to financial ruin as has been the case for the last four years. Also, I guess the people of California were too engrossed into whether to legalize pot than really look at the state of their state and elected Barbara Boxer and Jerry Brown. Unbelievable! Two tired and worn out free spending liberals leading the weak and clueless. We can all just wait for their cry to Washington to bail them out. So there we have it...a chance for a small step back to sanity. The liberals still control two thirds of the government...but, we can only hope...and prepare for 2012.
