You win the prize.... because you placed your finger on the real problem; dumbed down society, just what the Clinton's envisioned when they were running things down in Arkansas. Bill Hemmer commented this morning Fox was getting more hits on Britney Spears divorce than on the election results.
I heard a coworker of mine actually say that it's a good thing to take the dominant party out so that they won't get too corrupt. The Iraq effort became symbolic of the need for change. I saw signs in my local area which said, "Vote for Change. Vote Democrat." The actions of the electorate were irrational on many levels. It was the DemonRATs who drove the electorate to a madness that is characteristic of the DemonRAT mind set. It is the DemonRATs who for years have been trying to build a case against the Republicans as the Party of Corruption. It appears as if the Republicans failed to turn back this stigma and underestimated the effect it would make on the electorate. It was a strategy that took the focus off the issues, which the DemonRATs would knew they could not win, and put the argument on the politics of personal destruction. This was a tactic that created the perception of corruption that would stick in the minds of the electorate even if the charges were proved to be false.
