Although the post is somewhat childish it provides an opportunity to comment on the election. We will finish with the effects of Tuesday on Mendon so this will be local.
The first thing to say about the mid-term election is that the Republicans had it coming and they got it in spades. Good for the electorate. The republican party had promised for years that they would clean up the government and end the waste, fraud and corruption that the democrats had cultivated for themselves with exclusive control of the congress for decades. What they did in fact was enlarge the feedbag to include their own special interests and began to squander our money at an unprecedented rate. The republicans proved they were/are no better than the democrats at good, honest effective national government.
Enter Election 2006. Voters turned out in huge numbers nationwide and changed the face on national politics. They voted for moderate democrats and republicans. The margin was razor thin in most races. Tuesday was the return of the middle class to the polls. Tired of the far left and far right the voters went right down the middle. The collective message from the people was: Most of us are in the middle and that is where we want you. Yes the war had a lot to do with it but only in getting middle America to the polls.
The Democrats should have been more careful in what they wished for. They own it all now and everyone is watching. 2008 is just around the corner and the moderate republicans will be looking to take it back. Look for Mitt Romney to emerge as the favorite next year. His platform will be inclusive and positive. If the democrats waste their energy on endless hearings, witch hunts and in fighting while not addressing the nations problems, Romney and the moderate middle will toss them out on the street in 24 months. You heard it here first.

The New England Home for Little Squanderers (Mass Legislature) will with Patrick’s blessing begin to pass exceptions to Proposition 2 ½. One by one they will happen and the result will be that Prop 2 ½ will be gutted and your property taxes will begin to rise. Within a few short years the will soar and be on a par with Rhode Island. Count on it.
The Moonbat lefties on Beacon Hill will with PB (Patrick’s Blessing) push through “reforms” that make residence here for Illegal aliens even easier. That coupled with universal health care and generous housing and education benefits will explode the state population and your wallet at the same time. If you object you will be called a racist. Look for playing the race card to be the pass time of choice here in the Bay State.
These things are just the beginning. Patrick sold his soul to the teachers unions, Bechtel Parsons and the Bulger wing of the Winter Hill Gang and they all expect payback.
There is no watchdog anymore, only the lap dogs are left. You wanted one party rule with no checks and balances back in Massachusetts and now you have it… and it’s going to hurt.

We still seem to have irregularities at the voting booths nationally.
In my opinion, all we accomplished is the arranging of the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Good honest government will only happen when we ditch the two party system.
The Sheeples have spoken.
I agree that nationally the Republicans had it comming. I also think that a little exposure by the way of hearings to show what the Republicans have done over the last 6 years would be good for those who only get their news from Fox, Limbaugh, O'Riely and Severin. I hope the Dems go after the big stuff(Haliburton, The Energy Policy, Abramoff & Delay) and I hope they stay away from the petty personal (can you say "White water". It would be hard to imagine it being worse!
As for the local, I think Patrick has national ambitions and a lot to prove. If there truly is a new day dawning then he will have to govern effectively and find some new solutions in order to move on eventually. I for one have the Audacity of Hope.
The Sheeples heard from again.
Did you notice how "deer in the headlights" Nancy Pelosi looked? Yeah, I agree, when it appeared that the Dems were going to win a majority of seats etc. I prayed they would win it all. And they Did. Now let us see what they do and who they blame.
As for irregularities in the voting booth, think about this. Massachusetts is a motor voter state which means when one gets a driver's license, they are immediately eligble to vote. Now do you want to give the illegals drivers licenses?
