The rebirth of the Conservative Democrat

The real win-win situation that occured in yesterdays election is that we can presumably benefit from a divided government. Personally, I haven't felt this good about an election since the Republican Revolution victory of 1994. Real Conservatives are happy as well. The government can hopefully quit wasting money on the fiasco in Iraq, and the can quit wasting time legislating morality and crushing citizen rights.
The Republican party needs to go back to being the party it was meant to be. That might be hard now that Democrats are now occupying the high middle ground.
What will be interesting is how the freshman Democrats that got elected by running as social Conservatives will clash with their left party leadership. They might take a tip from the history of Newt Gingrich. Glory is indeed fleeting.
The other interesting development is how one war completely changed the politics of the country. Within the span of 12 years since the GOP took the House, they got voted out for similar issues that brought them to power. Scandelous Republican incumbents also helped seal there fate.
The Republican party needs to learn from their mistakes, the Democrats need to learn from recent history and try and be less adversarial. Maybe, just maybe, there is hope for a temporary suspension of politics as usual. At least, the political commercials are finally over.
NEVERTHELESS, at least we can buy a beer at supermarket in Wolfforth, TX. The monopoly of the beloved Strip in Lubbock County is broken. Who knows, hell might freeze and Lubbock, Tx might follow suit.
