Truely, Nov. 7 2006 will be remembered as a great day for democracy. Despite the best attempts at fearmongering by this abhorrent administration, the American people did their patriotic duty and voted the bums out.

However, this will also be a good day for true conservatism – the Dems elected yesterday are a right-leaning lot – it seems balancing the budget and cutting pork will be the order of the day. If Pelosi, et al want to stay in power they are going to have to govern from the middle, just as the ation seems to like.

Although I am a registered Dem (for now), I am really an Independent voter who cast his ballot enthusiastically for Joe Lieberman. When I voted in the primary back in August, Ned (Flanders) Lamont's goofy poll election volunteer asked me to vote for her guy. At the time I told her that I could never vote for a guy who brought haters like maxine waters and al sharpton into my state. She clearly had no clue who they were back then. Today when I went to vote, I told myself that if Lamont's person outside the polling place spoke to me again, I was going to blister them and tell them why their guy is such a slug. But when I passed the workers outside the school where I vote, it was the same moonbat from back in August and she didn't say a word to me. So I respectfully walked past her silently and cast my vote for Joe. I wasn't looking to cause a confrontation, but would have gladly responded. I think she made the right call by keeping her mouth shut.</p> <p>Ned Lamont is a divider. Even after the primary was over, he ran TV ads calling Lieberman a "turncoat" for running in spite of his primary loss. Those ads quickly disapeared because while he called Joe a turncoat, he was also calling me a turncoat, which I didn't appreciate. Lieberman is a man who has proven his ability to work with Republicans, which is very important to me. And the fact that Lamont was dumb enough to run those "turncoat" ads, proves once again that he is nothing but a political hack without a clue.</p> <p>Lieberman will win BIG and it will be a good day for Connecticut.</p> You can tell from my screen name where I live.

Ned Lamont is a divider. Even after the primary was over, he ran TV ads calling Lieberman a “turncoat” for running in spite of his primary loss. Those ads quickly disapeared because while he called Joe a turncoat, he was also calling me a turncoat, which I didn’t appreciate.

Lieberman will win BIG and it will be a good day for Connecticut.

And now it’s time for a dose of “The Laughing Baby” and onto the polls!

There are a number of factors that have made me more confident in the prospect of Republicans holding both houses of Congress, including the fact Howard Dean had to take out a loan for the Democrats’ stretch run. What I’ve seen is the political equivalent of the “perfect storm.” Things aren’t shaping up the way the media and the Democrats say they are, so they’re trying to keep Republican and conservative voters away. I don’t think it will work nearly as well as hoped.

I have some serious problems with the Republicans, and they don’t deserve to win in my opinion. However, the Democrats deserve to lose.
