YAY!
Where's a Guiness when I need one?It was a tough fight but last night, America voted and confirmed that they wanted a change.
The American people said that they wanted to put an end to our ever ballooning deficit; to get proper health care; to change our foreign policy and stop having all our "allies" hate us; to stop the rubber stamps of the GOP Congress; to actually have some respect for our troops in Iraq and set up an actual exit strategy.
And can I just raise a special shot of Akavit to the people of PA who voted out Rick Santorum?
Dick Cheney said that they would not lose the House or the Senate and said that no matter what happened that they would stay the course. Well, the people pulled the lever and the Bush train has switched tracks.
The Senate is still up for grabs but both Webb and Tester are ahead by 5,000 and 8,000 votes respectively and most likely will hold onto their leads. One can hope.
We have the first woman speaker of the House. Massachusetts has it's first black governor and it's first Democratic governor since Mike Dukakis. New York has it's first Democratic governor in 12 years. So much happened yesterday it's unbelievable. But it's true and it is proof that people other than the pundits and bloggers truly have been sick and tired of the corruption, the lies, the arrogance and the ignorance of this administration and the GOP in general.
There is still work to be done. The Democrats are in, but we still need to let them know that we are PAYING ATTENTION!
But for now, go ahead, break open the champagne, pull out the port, get out the Guiness or have a really nice glass of iced tea.
We did it. And we will do more.
Peace --Alex
