We had a conservative takeover. They went to DC and spent more than any Democrat could.
The Republican Revolution or Revolution of 1994:
-net gain of 54 seats in the House of Representatives
-pickup of eight seats in the Senate
-day after the election, Democratic Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama changed parties, becoming a Republican. (Big tent starts to murder conservatism)
The gains in seats in the mid-term election resulted in the Republicans gaining control of both the House and the Senate in January 1995. Republicans had not held the majority in the House for forty years.
-GOP picked up twelve gubernatorial seats
-472 state legislative seats
-it took control of 20 state legislatures from the Democrats
This was the first time in 50 years that the GOP controlled a majority of state legislatures.
And the big disappointment began. They got so concerned with the "moderates" that they failed to stand against the slew of gun-laws Clinton got passed and allowed a minority party (the demonrats) to kick their @$$es the whole time they held onto both chambers of congress and the presidency. Enough is enough. I VOTE CONSERVATIVE, not "republican," "libertarian," or "democrat." If you are the most conservative of the choices, then you get my vote.
