Election Results

This was a disappointing day. After listening to last night to election results in Missouri, and other national elections, many races were so close there seemed to be hope for Republicans to keep their seats. I woke up to find Jim Talent had lost, the Stem Cell measure had passed, and a lot of Republican seats had been lost. I heard a talk show host on the way home talking about what happened with the elections. He said if you look at the ballet initiatives in the various states the majority of what passed was conservative both socially and fiscally. He said the Republicans aren’t living up to those conservative standards. They are talking a talk but aren’t walking the walk. I have to agree. There seems to be many empty promises made that conservatives aren’t forgetting. I think it’s time for a 3rd party in this nation. I’m tired of business as usual and corruption in Washington. The other option is to have people of real character run for Republican offices. Hint to any future candidates: Try watching Mr. Smith Goes to Washington with Jimmy Stewart. Then act accordingly.
