I understand the GOP house leadership is already setting the stage for some "grand" hearings into the "global warming fraud." Nothing like bias before you even begin work.
Earlier in the week, someone pointed out that voter reaction in this election could be summed up as "These firemen didn't put the blaze out yet. Let's show them our disapproval by putting the arsonists back into power."
Sane news analysts are right, I hope, when they say that people are in for a nasty surprise. Business as usual for the republicans means they'll be trying to repeal everything that happened in the last two years and find some excuse to impeach the president. A lot of noise and drama while the economy and the nation crumble around their ears again, just like the Clinton years.
Here in Illinois I'm pleased to see that the Green Party got a surprising number of votes. They fielded a sane candidate for governor and quite a few reasonable alternatives for lesser offices. It's going to take forever to get voters to pay attention though and not think of voting outside the two empty-headed major parties as "wasting your vote."
