Post Election Glow?

Ok, it is nice to see the other side eating their own. And it is good to revel in a rare victory.

On the other hand, the fact that Obama has chosen Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff is not a good sign, nor is this.

We need to remember that the only institution of government that had a worse approval rating than the president was the congress, controlled by the Democrats. Why, cause they ran on change and did nothing except enable the Bush presidency. Let's face it the congress has acted like the abused wife of a violent drunken husband.

Now there is serious [maybe] discussion of whether or not to remove Lieberman from the chairmanship of his Senate committee. I mean come on. Discussion, who can possibly even consider keeping him on? This guy has been running around campaigning for McCain. How can you keep him as a part of your party when he does that? Only if you are really a loser party that is how. Oh, I'm sorry loser and Democratic Party are kind of synonymous, not so much in winning elections, but in trying to accomplish something afterward.

Maybe I studied the Roman Empire too much in college, but their elections seemed to become more and more violent the more their parties had in common and it was only about dividing the spoils for the winners.

At any rate, what it seems that we little people need to keep the Democrat's feet to the fire and continue to force them to enact progressive/liberal legislation. No rest for the wicked communists I guess.

The other half of all this is that any marginal move by the Democrats to lurch even slightly to the left will be met by the right wing noise machine screaming about the socialists and communists (and race and sex mixers) forcing us down that road to serfdom [see Clinton, William, Presidency] and homosexual abortions. Well ok the forced homosexual abortion thing will be the first item on the agenda of the Democratic party, I have been told this by an unimpeachable source:

So any rate we all need to remain vigilant and continue to fight, cause this thing isn't over by a long shot. The quote: "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." Is noble, but kind of tiring when you think about it.

But hell, what else you gonna do? So the job has just started.
