The pendulum has swung. It always has and always will. I am not going to loose sleep over it. We can take it back in 2 years and maybe with a much more conservative and ethical bunch of republicans that the bunch that just lost power. I just wish Bush would of used the bully pulpit in the last six years when he had the chance. I do hope now that the democrats are in charge Bush can finally use his veto pen.

This time we better make sure the moderates and the Independents are included and are a part of our new agenda. We cannot win without them. They sent a message to us this time - and it was "Don't ignore us". We thought we could win with just Republicans ONLY - the Democrats found that out when they realized in 2000 and 2004 they could not win ONLY with the Democrat vote. The moderates and Indpendents in 2000 and 2004 voted Republican most. This time they appealed to the moderates and Independents and it worked for them. If we think we can ignore the moderates and independents we will lose in 2008 again as well. The Christian right has to understand this or they will fail again!

It will take 4 to 6 years because we need to move out all the dinosaurs in the Republican party leadership from the locals all the way up to the national leadership...
