I believe losing will help save us from Hilda beast. Sit back and watch the Rats implode ...
First of all, the war is over and has been for years. But that isn't the message people heard from the press and "stay the course" only confirms it.
The truth that has come out is that we simply do not have a plan for where we go from here. It is fairly self-evident that we are going to need to have soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq for a very long time. It is also obvious that we really don't know how long that will be. And as long as we ignore Iraq and Syria, the answer is, "Until the American people get sick of it and pull the plug."
Hindsight being 20/20, all the president should have done is set some goal after his term ended and had consistent progress reports and milestones along the way. When the question comes up, the message has to be "We've passed seven of our ten milestones, and we are confident we will finish up in the next five years."
Without that, the press successfully painted his leadership in the war as rudderless. And they kept all the good news (the economy, for one thing) unreported.
Couple that with the corruption and wanton porkbarrelling of the GOP congress left unchecked by the president and yes, conservatives stayed home. Whine about it all you want, but the simple fact is that republican leadership from the president on down demoralized their own base.
That sixth year sale of your ideas has always been downright impossible. But given the dismal performance of the GOP, to come out of this as well as they have is downright miraculous and points to huge problems for the democratic party.

That's something they seem to have a hard time learning.
Too often GOP leaders treated the DBM as if they were legitimately objective journalists. They are not. They are partisan hacks. Whores of the far left. They deserve no respect whatsoever and they should be treated like the enemy of America that they are.
IMHO, the American people haven't changed that much over the past 6 years. I don't witness a catharsis in American politics, and in many cases RINOS were replaced by simply mediocre liberal democratic socialists.
Unfortunately, I also haven't observed any real change amongst socialists in the US over the past 6 years, other than a proclivity to become even more unsatiated if they gain more power. Many conservatives fail to grasp that the upper class socialist continues to strive and scheme even when out of power. Their machinations were heinously exposed somewhat during the Clinton regieme. They periodically tip their hand when exposed to perceived victory.
IMHO, the Rummy resignation will help tip their hand from a temprary satiation from election night. The mechanics of our government haven't fundamentally changed more than how it would have responded with the populous in its same state of mind.
If one is searching for improvements, then focus on how the public might be better led, informed, and allowed to better select and develop elected officials to best represent our interests.
We have many who belive the vote will hinder the WOT. A better solution to the WOT is to better inform the common man of what exactly the threat is, and how to best develop a common intuition of the actual threat from terrorism.
If it is Islam, then stop ignoring God and act faithfully through Him in our administration and leadership of the nation.
Let God through faith in Christ handle the situation by our proper execution, guidance and selection of our elected authority as always we remain in faith through Him. Then regardless the outcome, it will still be in accordance with His plan and irregardless the temporal consequence, we will still have performed a good work worthy of His blessing, now or future and eternally rewarded.
