Unfortunately, I’m not shocked by this. But I’m still mad has hell about it!

The elections are finally over and we’re finally free from political ads, mailings and phone calls. Obama is headed to the White House and the Democrats have even more control over the House and Senate.
But, there’s always a catch. And here it is Democrats.
If you have learned anything from the Republicans over the past 8 years it is to not squander your opporunity by doing dumb things. Let’s look at the Republicans a minute and figure out why they are not in power any more.
As a representative, you have one main duty and that is to REPRESENT US. You know, the people that voted for you. You’re not there to make sure that a certain lobbying group gets their text added to a bill or that an earmark gets added to a bailout bill. You’re there to be good stewards of the taxpayers hard earned dollars. You’re there to do what is right for the Country. Not what is right to keep you elected term after term.
So Democrats, let this serve as a warning. If you think that you can spend to your hearts content and roll out every possible solution so the American voter becomes lazy and relies on the Government for everything. You can guarantee that there will be more change in 2 years. And most of you will be finding new jobs.

I couldn’t be happier to see Ted Stevens go! For those that don’t know, Ted has been found guilty on several federal felonies and has been one of the bigger pork barrel abusing politicians in recent history.
Ted Stevens most publicized pork barrel project has involved the spending of your hard earned tax dollars on the bridge to nowhere.
Fortunately for the American people, Uncle Ted has lost his re-election bid.
My tax dollars feel a little safer now that Ted will no longer be back in Washington!

Done! #222 for my polling place for the day.
I managed to get out of the office around 10 and got right into the polling place. No major lines though there was a bit of an issue with the scan tron machine accepting the ballots. But you just had to try it a few times and it would usually take it.
They didn’t have the “I voted” stickers. Sure its a small thing, but its part of the process.

For the love of God, STOP CALLING ME!!!
I was once a Democrat. Many many moons ago. I haven’t been a registered anything for over 10 years and I’m pretty happy about that. But unfortunately, the Democratic Party in Iowa thinks I’m still a Democrat and needs to call me. And call often! I’m a Libertarian, get over it.
For the past 2 months, I have asked to be removed from the calling lists. Nothing has changed. At one point, I started telling them I was voting for the other guy because they couldn’t figure out how to remove me from their list, how could I expect them to run the country.
So far tonight, I have gotten calls from Robo-Obama and I believe it was Robo-Hillary. At least I think it was Hillary as the first part got cut off.
If I get a call from Robo-Pelosi, I’m pulling the phone off the wall and beating the first Democrat I see tomorrow.
