ELECTION RESULTS: WHAT NOW?

The Elections of 2010 have come to a thankful and merciful end. As predicted, the democrats got a whooping due to their sheer incompetence at pretty much everything. I may hate Republicans but you have to admire their ability to get out the vote and explain things that even the densest member will understand. The final tally of wins/loses will still be days away but it is clear that the GOP picked up at least 60seats and control of the House while the dems hold a slim majority in Congress. One of things that cost them dearly, as I write earlier, was the democrats inability to stand with the gay community. Having looked at various gay sites, I can say their disillusionment with the dems was overwhelming and a majority stayed home from the polls almost certainly causing them to lose many a tight race. Way to stand by your base, idiots. There is some reason to be optimistic as almost every Tea Bagger nutjob lost, decisively in most cases. Thank God there are enough reasonable people out there to send Paldino, Whitman, O'Donnell, McMahon, Fiorina and Angles off to Never Never Land. As I predicted though, the right is already calling vote fraud in Nevada, not understanding why the polls were so wrong. Guess they should have read my column saying the polls were all off nationwide (which they were) due to the changing models of technology such as cell phones over land lines. How the Nevada Tea Party will take this loss is another matter. The possibility of armed conflict is still alarmingly high there and nationwide. I find it ironic yet again that these Tea Parties were nowhere to be seen when Bush possibly stole the Election in 2000 and definitely in 2004. The last election in Massachusetts was possible tampered with (which I discussed in a previous column), sending Scott Brown to the Senate. Did the Tea Party contest that? No of course not because they won. The Tea Party are the worst sore losers ever. So what does all this mean? John Boener, the orange Oompa Loompa, is now Speaker of the House. Things like unemployment will end all extensions soon. 12 million people stand to lose their only lifeline by early next year; 2 million by the end of 2010. What do Republicans think is going to happen when these people can't pay their mortgage or bills? Foreclosures are going to skyrocket next year, devaluing the price of every home in the country. Happy now Tea Baggers? Your house is going to be worth less. Plus, if it gets bad enough, your neighborhoods may start resembling Detroit and whatever job you have may be lost due to the spiraling economic conditions sure to occur now. With the Republicans set on an end spending spree, this country is headed right for another fiscal catastrophe as gridlock becomes the new norm. Expect the stock market to tank some time next year as a new Depression begins. People on food stamps are going to double, as is federal assistance for things like heat and electricity all of which is more expensive than unemployment. We have made a situation far worse due to rank stupidity and an inability to remember history. Dark days are ahead of us. Revolution looms.
