Boy there is a real smart move. Go from actually having some say in politics to being totally politically irrelevant. See you whiners. Don't let the door hit your butt on the way out.

Boy there is a real smart move.

I didn't want it. I post stories because I believe they should be posted to inform folks, not because I necessarily agreed or disagreed with the story. I could be either way. I'm a registered Conservative in NY with some libertarian sympathies. I didn't want the pubbies to lose either House of Congress, much less both, even though they richly deserved to lose. You can check my posting history if you don't remember, but I frequently ended my posts in comment# 1 with the following pics and text when I thought it was appropriate before Election Day:

Actions speak louder than words. Here's some of what the dems have done in the past.

On April 29, 1975, hundreds of Americans and South Vietnamese were evacuated from Saigon (now known as Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam, by helicopter. The following day the city was captured by the North Vietnamese, signaling the end of the Vietnam War.

While working as a journalist in Vietnam, Nayan Chanda took this photo of a Communist tank entering the presidential palace in Saigon on April 30, 1975. Chanda, now editor of YaleGlobal Online, will speak about his experiences there at a panel marking the 30th anniversary of the event.

"If you analyze it I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism. I think conservatism is really a misnomer just as liberalism is a misnomer for the liberals -- if we were back in the days of the Revolution, so-called conservatives today would be the Liberals and the liberals would be the Tories. The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is."

Emphasis added, attribution left off on purpose. If you really want to know go here.
