America stood up (just sent this to my "list")

America stood up and demanded the accountability that has been lacking for so long. She has said that she won't become a de facto dictatorship, that she won't tolerate not having oversight for long, that the corruption builds up but eventually gets drained and that she's tired of being run by the lobbyists and not the people.

To my friends who call themselves "conservative" - I'm not going to rub it in or gloat - in spite of some of the names I've been called and how my thoughts were questioned as traitorous over the past six years - I'll simply say this - THIS is what a mandate looks like! 15-30% spreads in the votes, not a measly ½ % - it's an absolute rejection of the direction that your hijacked party has led us in, now that you know for sure Americans are rejecting it - clean up your party, send the religious nuts who want to create a theocracy out of the US packing, send the crooked politicians and lobbyists home and come back to the table with real ideas on creating smaller government, less intrusion into my bedroom, not building other nations while we're neglecting our own at home here (I'm all for that too, as I've said many, many times before - we're not so far apart as those in DC want us to think so that we don't pay more attention to the crooked games they play)

To my friends on the "progressive" side (the choir I've been preaching to all along) - go ahead and gloat today (here's a great place to start http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxlv69C2eww&eurl= ), you have earned it with your phone calls, letters to the editors, forwarding so much news that wasn't on the TV to everyone on your lists. Tomorrow we have much work to do - cleaning up this mess and absolutely demanding that the people we just put into office never, ever forget that we did it - not the lobbyists, not the pollsters, campaign consultants or the media - us - We, the People. And they now work for us - we'll be watching, we'll be making our voices heard and we will fire them if they don't do the job they just got hired to do. They are not the wheel, they are the cog - and we can replace them at our pleasure.
