The ones who "stayed home" should hang their heads in shame, IMHO, or at the very least host a party for the Democrats who have parting gifts for them.
The thought of Nancy Pelosi as SOTH and some local elections got me out to vote. But some of my friends wanted to punish the RINO's. It worked! And all of us will pay for the next 2 years. But, hopefully it will be a lesson well learned in 2008 and we will get a REAL conservative to vote for. Unfortunately, the pundits have played this out that we wanted new leadership and a new direction in Iraq. The truth is that we punished the RINO's for bad behavior, for miscarriage of our trust.
