This country will face hard times over the next several years, and in the end it may have been a blessing for the demoncrats to get majority status while this transpires. This was coming either way, and now we will hammer them for the next two years on a falling economy. Be careful demoncrats in what you ask for because sometimes you get it.

(Democrats) "Be careful demoncrats (sp intended) in what you ask for because sometimes you get it."

That's been my thinking. I'm almost anxious to sit back and see what happens with these wingnuts in power.

On another note, our wonderful State elected our first femal governor and she's a very conservative republican. Go Alaska! And we defeated that idiotic gas line tax. Yes!

Can you believe how much the national debt increased under GOP rule? http://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opdpenny.htm I'm not persuaded that the war needed to cost that much. Either way, cutbacks are needed and the Democrats can now get to deal with making or ignoring them, just as Bill Clinton and a Democrat Congress had to either punt or run with the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico at the end of the Cold War. At least we can rejoice that Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney's now out of office and forced to look for a real job in Atlanta:
