Two things have become clear after seeing the results of the 2010 Midterm Election’s. First, the “hope and change” baloney President Obama gave people in 2008 about being the candidate change is just about dead. Second, people from every state, except Massachusetts, are willing to give leaders of the minority party a chance to bring change for their state politics and national interests on Capitol Hill. The regime of a Democrat-dominated Federal Government is over! I am more than glad to say that what happened on November 2nd was a triumphant election for Republicans. With six seats gained in the US Senate and an unprecedented sixty seats gained in the House of Representatives, the Republicans have clearly come out on top. It would be easy for me to write that Democrats have clearly lost touch with reality and blame every single problem this country has on Liberals, but then I would sound as ridiculous as Tea Parties led by Sarah Palin. The American people have spoken and there frustrations are simple: Why can’t leaders from either side do anything right? For two years Democrats had control of everything.They were more concerned with appeasing their base and they continued to perform “politics as usual.” This was evident in their massive array of “new” government spending and bureaucratic growth swept the nation, and if you didn’t know any better you would think nothing had been done. Now things seem to be divided more equally. It is the people’s ways of forcing both side to come together and make the right decision. Not decisions that coincide with a certain political philosophy. The simple problem is that the Democrats chose to ignore the word on the street: it’s the economy, stupid! More specifically, it’s about encouraging job growth in the US. But Obama and the Democrats chose to ignore such an obvious problem in favor of passing their party’s longtime dream of passing near-universal healthcare reform under the aegis of government legislation. What’s their justification? Healthcare is vital for America’s future and poor families can’t afford to get healthcare under the current system. It’s true that preexisting conditions is an unfair imposition on families, but there’s little or no justification for expanding the federal government’s mandate and welfare responsibilities before an economic recovery. I don’t believe that the government can run this program efficiently, if it can’t even do the business of national defense economically and take any measurable fight against Medicare fraud, which runs up hundreds of millions of dollars for a significant percentage of the US population. The Healthcare Bil is the centerpiece of the Democrats’ poor record. The Stimulus Bill fell on its ass when the unemployment numbers went to ten percent and was then topped off by an embarrassing admission from the “Hope and Change” President himself about how there were no “shovel-ready” projects included in the bill. It was a refreshing change to see Obama act in such a candid fashion, instead of his infinitely optimistic rhetoric. At least we know that he’s no longer talking in his usual cheery campaign mode of governance. Bipartisanship is not inevitable, but it certainly seems to be something that the GOP will have to pursue to gain support for their agenda – as they don’t want to repeat the mistake that the Democrats made during their time in power. Republicans are free to let anything pass in the house, but do not have a sixty seat majority in the Senate thus nothing being able to stop a Democratic filibuster. Lets not forget that thanks to a system of check and balances the President has veto powers. If the two parties can not aline together there will be dead lock, and absolutely nothing will get accomplished. The first step for Republicans is to fight Obama care. Something the federal government should of left entirely as a responsibility at the state level.
