Issues: A Good Day
November 3rd, 2009

It has been a good day for our country.

While it’s sometimes tough to take local races and project a larger meaning on the results, there seems to be a clear message across the board in today’s elections. In a clear voice, Americans looked to Washington and said, “hold up.”

For ten months we’ve watched Washington throw our hard earned money around like confetti. We watched the government take control of GM because it was “too big to fail” and it still failed. We were promised that unemployment would not rise above 8% if we passed the pork-stuffed “stimulus” bill and now with 10% of Americans out of work, the vice president says they “guessed wrong.”

$787 billion is an expensive miss on a guess, don’t you think?

Today, Americans had their first chance to give a reply to Washington, and from places as diverse as the Jersey shore to Southwest Virginia, the message was clear: Stop. Stop wasting our money. Stop driving us further into to debt. Stop selling our children’s future in the name of liberal social experiments.

As the health care debate unfolds over the next few days we will find out if President Obama and Speaker Pelosi were listening. But for tonight, we can say it was a good day for our country.
