Actually, there has been no security plan in place the last 6 years. it allowed 9/11 to occur, and it has allowed Iran and North korea to go nuclear. t has allowed Iraq to become a rogue state in chaos and a breeding ground for terrorists. I believe that doing nothing would still be better for our nation than what has been done the last 5+ years.LHwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890891351498768757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30510558.post-1163813539754894142006-11-17T17:32:00.000-08:002006-11-17T17:32:00.000-08:00I agree they are self correcting, but as for the r...I agree they are self correcting, but as for the rest, I don't see it quite like that. I actually posted this editorial, long after its relevance, to point out that the result was just as I had hoped, and had espoused during my conversations with Satan. As for the next election, I would like to point out some of my blog postings in the later summer, and to the comments I received, which often hinted at much different, and some would say more dire, then the encouraging results that we received on this election day. As for Joe, I think he took advantage of the anomaly his state offers, where there was no support for the Republican's own candidate. Right now he is being treated well by the Democrats because of his perceived elopement risk, but i think it is unwarranted. It is true that the Dems need to live with him for a few more years until they strengthen their majority, however, Joe risks being a man without a party. Already the conservatives are carping, as seen in the New York Post late this week complaining he is a 'King of Pork' when it comes to unfairly doling out Home Security Funds. If he goes to the right, the Democrats will find it unacceptable, and he will never again enjoy the vote he received, and if he tries to appease democrats, he will shore up his CT. base, but at the risk of his newfound fair weather friends. Many Republicans, even firmly centered ones lost (like Chaffee) because they were Republicans, and Joe is not Center--he is a George W. Bush unabashed, unrepentant Republican, which explains his excellent Republican turnout. I did not predict Joe would lose, I simply said he should. I predicted (not to pat myself on the back as millions of others did too) that Iraq would be a mess and that the Democrats would make a comeback in 2006. I do believe Joe's days are numbered, but that number isn't too small since he just got reeelected. But he will be a man without support or a party, long before he will be without a job.LHwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890891351498768757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30510558.post-1163800470921248632006-11-17T13:54:00.000-08:002006-11-17T13:54:00.000-08:00Democracies are, by their nature, self correcting....Democracies are, by their nature, self correcting. But i wouldn't get to excited...a lot can happen by 2008. If the Dems don't come up with a security plan, they'll get decimated in the next election. <BR/><BR/>The brightest spot was Joe Lieberman getting re-elected on his own terms, perhaps showing that one can be a hawk and get elected, even in a liberal state.
