eeek Today is a sad day for America. It seems the Democrats have taken over Washington. Sadly people are so wrapped up in anti war rhetoric and Bush bashing that they have failed to see that with the Dems in control we are now officially fucked. We can look foward to poor national security, open borders and don't forget the Clintonesque recession that is bound to follow if a Dem takes the presidency in 08. Its unfortunate that so many voters failed to realize that the only thing the Dems are capable of is criticizing Bush while they themselves have accomplished nothing more than a 6 year smear fest. One good note is this will be a reminder to the people why they took the Dems out of office in the first place, I guess some just needed a wake up. This is going to be a long and bumpy ride.



The only fortunate thing to come out of this election is Connecticut still has competent people in office.

Truth be told, you and I might have similar views on a lot of things... but I was sick and tired of the Republicans. The scandals. The nastiness (Dems were nasty, too). Certain arch conservative views (I'm pro-choice and support gay marriage). But, I'm also sick of high taxes (especially in CT!) and fiscal irresponsibility. And ironically, the Republicans have been spending like drunken sailors for years now. People may have hated Clinton, but we had a balanced budget and a surplus when Bush took over. All gone now. I've voted for both Republicans and Democrats in the past, but this year I went all Democrat to give them a chance to see what they can do. And yes, Rummy had to go. I wasn't necessarily against the Iraq war, but I thought we should have finished the job in Afghanistan first, in which case we might be in better shape to flex some muscle toward N. Korea and Iran. The execution of the Iraq policy has been a disaster and the priorites kept shifting, but I don't think the Dems will plunge us into being unsafe, I think they'll bring some much needed sanity to the process. What I definitely don't want to see are any bullshit "investigations" that waste time. They have enough to do; I don't want to see them get distracted by revenge tactics.

yes indeed I did forget you played for the right wing team... I suppose because I don't actually associate with any outside of work... Your like another species... robot

I don't know much about Lamonts past, only the basics, but i do know that Joe was a little too right leaning for my taste last term. I think he will still serve CT well and I will just have to be a little louder when something I feel strongly about is up for a vote. Remember that I grew up in NY and only work in Gtown (lived there for only 2 years), I live in Norwalk...

i am, of course, pleased that the house is blue again, and even more pleased that it's moderate blue.... so yet again we'll agree to disagree.
