Watched Fox Sunday, with Eric Cantor, Issa, and Paul Ryan, but haven't had time to see the regular network stuff. And I'm assuming the regular networks had all the former majority on, hinting about how stupid the population-at-large is to boot out their sorry butts.
Must say, I'm rather amazed that Pazzo Pelosi still wants to serve, but as House Minority Leader. Poor Steny Hoyer. He spends years sucking up to Pazzo only to be shafted in the end. And is Pazzo really the best choice? Sure she rammed through socialized medicine -- and without a second thought about undermining the US Constitution along the way -- but she also handed the Republicans their greatest victory in 60 years. Yeah, keep her on. The dems need someone like her. So do the Republicans.
I must say, if there's anything we "little people" out here in the hinterland have seen this year, it's how addictive power is. First, Arlen Specter, then Crist, then Murkowski, and on and on, down to Pazzo Pelosi -- 70 years old, defeated, and still a determined control freak. Hey, Pazzo, think "Johnny Carson," and bow out gracefully, before you make a total fool of yourself drooling all over your shoes.
Even more surprising is the dems' apparent inability to understand that We, the People, really did mean it with the Nov. 2 election. We don't like you people. We want you out. We don't think you're doing us any good; matter of fact, we're certain you're trying to kill us.
Meanwhile, Pazzo, and I'm sure others like Dick(head) Durbin are still running around going, "Wait until the benefits kick in, then you'll love it." They're beginning to sound a bit like incorrigible rapists, convincing themselves their victims are just asking for it and really just love being assaulted and violated.
As far as a rift between Republicans and the Tea Party goes, I don't really see much daylight between them. Maybe in some districts. However, look who's going to be in majority leadership positions in the next congress: John Boehner, Eric Cantor, Issa, Paul Ryan. I don't see the "Old Guard" anywhere -- the old leadership. Looks to me like the older generation is giving the younger ones an opportunity, though I guess Boehner was in congress during the 1994 Republican sweep. And I don't see that any of those people named here vary in any large degree from Tea Party values.
The Senate is much older, as they probably should be. And the Senate is still under a dem majority, though not by much.
Anyway, interesting to watch. Here's hoping the "Young Guns" in the House majority now follow through. We'll be watching.
Save the Republic.
