American voters threw out the three worst Senators in the country tonight. For that alone, they deserve a huge 'Thank you'.

Why, you're only going to bitch about something Democrats do in two weeks anyways.  For God's sakes, if you'rethat happy then at least change your avatar.

Some good candidates won, some good candidates lost, some bad candidates won, some bad candidates lost... in the end we missed out on a Senator Kean or Ford, which is a shame... but we got a Senator Casey and look could still have a Senator Tester... nothing new really Smiley

I sincerely thank the voters of America for tonight's results.

The sad thing is, there are about dozen policy points that America needs from Democrats that the American people don't want.  Americans voted out the GOP because grumbling about the war in Iraq and pervert congressmen is the current fad.  Once the Donkey gets the White House in 2008, and is in a position to make a difference, will the two years they are going to get in control of Washington be enough?  What I'm talking about:

-Reduced dependence on foreign oil
-Reduced greenhouse emissions
-Universal health care
-A real, living minimum wage
-A balanced budget

It would be nice to see the US join the rest of the free, civilized world, but unfortunately that's not what the American people want.  The American people are a bunch of reactionaries that only voted Democrats into power this time around because it was the fad thing to do.  In 2010, when Democrats are trying to make America a better place, the people will go "WTF?  Change?  AAAAAAgh Noooooo!" and vote the GOP right back into power.

You know it's true.

In my state, we sent a Democrat to Congress from a conservative district, re-elected a Democrat governor for the first time in a generation, and returned the state Senate to Democrat hands.  And yet this "moderate" state votes overwhelmingly to ban same-sex marriage AND civil unions, and to re-enact the friggin death penalty, which we haven't had since the days of covered wagons.

Just because there's a momentary fad does not indicate any change whatsoever in the political leanings of the country.  The callouses on Americans' knuckles have not gotten any thinner in the past two years.

At least a good number of MODERATE democrats won in the new seats, vice the leftists.  I wonder if JFern will still be happy with that?

Well, it looks like you will control both the House and maybe even the Senate. If the Dems screw up like the Republicans, you may face a backlash like the ones faced by the Republicans yesterday. Who would have thought that I would have the move to Canada to find a conservative government. Like Canada, this was a more a vote against Republicans as it was a vote for Democrats. Much like the vote in Canada. Just my guess, that is.

The people sucks. Even if it vote for you... (lol)

A good reason why I don't support dems like you.
