Voters Tea Off On Democrats

After a much celebrated takeover of Washington in 2008, the Democrats managed to fumble away control of the House in just two years. The Republicans, with the help of the Tea party took the Democrats to the proverbial woodshed and captured at least 60 seats to take over the House of Representatives in its most sweeping victory since 1938. The Republicans picked up several senate seats as well as 10 Governors races including Pennsylvania, Ohio ,New Mexico and S. Carolina. The Tea party which has been characterized as racist by members of the media and the NAACP also helped to usher in several minority candidates-most from southern states. Black Tea partiers Alan West of Florida, Rick Scott of S. Carolina, Nikki Haley, of east Indian decent, secured the governorship of South Carolina, and Susana Martinez of New Mexico. Given the fact that blacks themselves do not elect black conservatives, this is empirical evidence of who the real racist are.

President Obama was noticeably subdued during a Wednesday press conference and acknowledged the "shellacking" by the voters. After twelve years of being the minority party, The Dems only managed two years of liberal bliss before the voters reminded them of why they were a minority party. The presidents next two years have suffered a devastating blow in that his unrealized agenda items such as cap and trade and card check may never see the light of day. The Presidents liberal coalition has all but dissipated which will force him to compromise with Republicans on some very contentious issues -namely the Bush tax cuts. Not extending them after January 1st in a down economy will undoubtedly put an end to any thoughts of re-election. The Republicans have been given the mother of all second chances and should not become overconfident-the Tea party will hold them accountable. In politics there are no permanent victories.
