Democrats Take House, Senate Undecided

Every news publication on earth is saying mostly the same thing. The Democrats have taken the house picking up a sizable number of seats. But the Senate remains a tossup with a few undecided seats holding the balance. Concerns of voter fraud have been heard from around the nation as well.

    I thought the Diebold voting machines were rigged, and the dishonest Republicans were going to steal the election. Does that mean that the Diebold machines aren't rigged? And that the Republicans are honest?

    I'm really tired of this "raving liberal" crap. The Democrats haven't been liberal, much less "raving liberal," since the Carter years. Liberal is legalizing pot, birth control for all high school students, free health care (like most of the industrial world), an enforced 40 or less hour work week, outlawing all handguns, legalized nude beaches. These are all things that seem to work fine in other countries. "Raving liberal" is setting up communes, cutting the military by 90%, required yoga meditation in school. Things of questionable value, but might be worth trying. The current crop of democrats are not very liberal. I pray that we start to move back in that direction.

    It's more like: Lobbyists write new laws; congress votes for them in exchange for campaign donations.
    No, no, you've got it wrong, it's more like Congress writes laws, and the Supreme Court changes them to mean whatever they feel like.
