What Happened? or...Why I Voted Blue
November 13, 2006 12:50 PM EST


It is now three days after the Nov. 7 election. I have read one Republican analysis of the party's failure after another, most of which seem at a loss as to where the blame might squarely be laid. Like President Bush, no one could see how the Republicans had done anything wrong, or how they might have done anything significantly different.

Well, I am just one of the small, average shmoes out in middle America who, like most of the small average shmoes with whom I associate, has no trouble at all giving a prompt, accurate and much-needed diagnosis of why we voted Blue. I am registered as a Democrat currently, not because I have any great love, or even infatuation, for the leaders of that party, or even because I have great admiration for the Democratic agenda. I voted Democrat because of all the things I noticed about the Republican party.

When the World Trade Center went down and the White House wanted to go after Sadaam (and Bin Laden, not-so-much), I noticed. I noticed that Arabs were responsible for the hijackings, not Iraqis, yet all the focus was unrelentingly put on Iraq. I noticed that congress did nothing to stop this madness, cowed as they were by "public opinion" carefully crafted by the administration's propaganda machine.

.........................

I am a nobody, as are most of my friends. But we won't sit idly by anymore, and this election proves that even conservatives and Christians will stomach only so much BS in the name of ideology. Take notice. Let him who has ears to hear, hear.

1. Wow.

As Americans, we have more in common than most like to admit:

We are sick of being lied to. We are sick of being kept in the dark as though we should have no say in our destiny as a nation. We are sick of being patted on the head by the Limbaughs, Hannitys, O'Reillys, and Coulters of the rabid right, whose obvious function it has been, these last six years, to deflect debate away from what is right for humanity in favor of what lines the pockets of the powers-that-be. We are SICK of it.
