Now That The GOP Has Won, What Does It Stand For?
Radix News ^ | November 5, 2014 | Patrick J. Buchanan

After billions in attack ads that turned the approval ratings of almost every candidate, in both parties, upside down, Republicans have taken control of Congress.

Why did Democrats fall like dominoes?

Easy. Theirs is the Party of Government. And government is failing. And their leader Obama projects diffidence and incompetence.

National surveys also show that large majorities believe America is heading in the wrong direction, that our children will not have it as good as we did, and that the United States is in a long-term decline.

Measuring the performance of Obama against the promise, America is voting for another change in leadership and direction.

But where does she wish to go? And whom does she wish to lead her? The country voted against Obama, but voted for what?

Well if the GOP-E does that, they will lose the Senate, big time.

That's what they did this election. And freepers cheered them on and insisted that conservatives vote for liberal republicans.

Cornyn may have won, but he didn't get my vote.
