Rumplestilskin Syndrome
Tidal wave? Well, maybe not, but I figure there had to be at least 10% better totals for the Dems, since Karl (Slither) Rove was so damned sure he had this one in the bag also. His vote stealers just couldn't keep up.
In an even race, the one who cheats better will win. Since Rove and his thugs have voter intimidation and electoral manipulation down to a science, the Democrats must have had a far more substantial victory than showed up at the polls.
Of course, having had their "God's Opportunist Party" majority thumped soundly and sent home with their tails between their legs (and in some cases their hands between the legs of teenaged congressional pages), the right-wing bloggers are kicking and screaming about the communist global jewish conspiracy, and generally showing exactly the type of psychopathic behavior we've come to expect from three year olds whose mommy spanks them and sends them to bed for kicking the dog, lying, screaming, and shitting all over the new Persian (or Iraqi) rug.
These pathological idiots are a threat to humanity, let alone the rest of the living creatures in the world, and the sooner they stamp themselves into a hole in the ground the better for all the rest of us.
As far as the up and coming Democrats, it seems to me that a Grandmother is the perfect one to put our national House in order. If you can raise five kids, and still have love in your heart and the desire to serve your nation, that's pretty damned impressive if you ask me.
A hip San Francisco Grandmother in the House and an Organic Wheat Farmer in the Senate. Yep, this ain't W's year, that's for sure.
One thing I absolutely expect of the Congress: that they hold the feet to the fire, and make sure somebody is held accountable for the absolute disasters and utter incompetence shown by the Bush cabal.
And I don't mean 'held accountable' like 'shown the door to go get a lobbying gig.' I want these bastards in prison for at least as long as the poor kid down the street who got busted passing a nickel-bag of pot at a party. In fact, they should make sure that kid gets out of jail, so there's plenty of room for these traitorous anti-american unconstitutional pirates.
Sorry, this is far more angry than most of my writing, but all this talk of becoming non-partisan and 'bi-partisanship' is making me nauseous. Let's not forget who we're dealing with here. The recently vanquished are NOT honorable, they are utterly dishonest, shameless, cold-blooded criminals. Karl Rove, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and all the rest should be in chains on their way to The Hauge for war crimes trial. If not, at the very least, let's not let them slither off without a public flogging, figuratively if not literally.
