The past midterm elections marked a historic pickup for the GOP. Now there is a "mandate" according to John Boehner. His speech last night was great but I thought I had heard it somewhere before. Oh yea, every two years when the other wins. I hate to be cynical and I'm glad the country became "redder" but I just can't help but notice every politician who wins claims it was a mandate from the people. Maybe people just hated the other dude. After all, we are only given two choices ultimately for to cast your vote Independent is just as good as using it to check your oil.
The winners claim that they are not going to the politics of old but are going to work for the people. Boy I hope that starts soon because for a long time they have been "working for the people." No matter, I am still glad that there has been a change in power in this country. The Republicans picked up the House and Democrats kept the Senate. With Obama's hands behind his back, Republicans and Democrats will most definitely have to work together. Moreover, the majority of Democrats left are most likely blue dogs who would be easily persuaded to vote Red.
Thanks to all those who voted. Now it is time to hold those newly elected or reelected accountable for EVERYTHING they do no matter their party.
