[WARNING: THIS IS SARCASM] In a sweeping win, Democrats took both houses, proving that Americans want more spending, more social welfare programs, and big big taxes!
The new masters of the House, the Democrats, are promoting an economic agenda that would put more money in the pockets of ordinary citizens and government, while leading to greater oversight of big business.
Is that really what Americans voted for? Do most voters want more taxes and obstructive government regulations on business. No. People were mad at the Republicans for failing to curtail spending and executing the war in Iraq with the vigor and overwhelming force we demand.
The average American thinks Democrats will control government growth and kill more terrorists than Republicans. Why do they believe this? That's what Democrats campaigned on. Democrats who won did not campaign on withdrawal from Iraq or increased taxes
Democrats traditionally (starting with Carter) gut the military, demoralize troops, raise and complicate taxes, and strangle businesses with regulation. And, they loudly proclaim they appreciate our vote to empower them to do just that in both houses.
There, take that Republican leadership! And Americans hold their bleeding noses while they've spited their collective Republican face. At least the news will be more pleasant now. Well, after we have some hearings on how Bush lied to us about Iraq and 9/11.
