Well, that is about to change big time. Maybe that is the "change of direction" the Democrats promised us.
"Why would anyone want a 'new direction'?"
Apparently, lots of people want one.
I agree with the good points you posted. But as many are stating here, seems there was just too much disappointment over illegal immigration, out of control spending, and the war lasting longer than many had thought with casualties and injuries almost everyday.
I did vote for my Republican governor this election, but he lost too. Other local Republican choices I voted for were mixed...some won, some lost.
