And they've compounded the problem by making what appears to be an Hispanic affirmative action pick for the new boss of the Republican National Committee (Sen. Mel "Guest Worker" Martinez), and by bringing world-class pork-barreler Trent Lott back into the leadership ranks of the United States Senate, and by keeping the same top two leaders in the House (Rep. John Boehner and Rep. Roy Blunt) who oversaw the November 7th debacle which gave the nation "Speaker" Pelosi.

News like this makes me glad we lost. We deserved to lose.

According to Ryan Ellis, Federal Affairs Manager over at Americans for Tax Reform, there are now 60 Democrats in the House who represent districts President Bush won in 2004. But there are now only 9 Republicans in the House representing districts that John Kerry won. These Democrats are strangers in a strange land.

I'll keep saying it: There are going to be a lot of one term wonders come January 09.

Another good article. This is all information I was not aware of. I really hope the GOP can take advantage of this but again, I'm not holding my breath.

One of the reasons Democrats picked up a number of seats is that they ran non-traditional Democrat candidates; candidates who were pro-gun, pro-life, and in some cases...anti-tax! Free-thinking, if not conservative, Democrats on these key issues are gonna cause a lot of problems for the majority down the road - just as RINOs (Republicans in Name Only) such as soon-to-be ex-Sen. Lincoln Chafee did for Republicans.

I hope this is true. But A. I wonder how many REALLY feel that way and didn't just run that way based on polling data and B. the Rats show far more party discipline then the GOP does. Rats who vote against their party are portrayed as traitors in the press, Rino's get praise and are painted as having "grown".

One down. Just remembering this makes me feel better. Now tell me again how this election shows that the voters wanted the country to lurch left.
