America fired republicans for the war, for over spending and finally for the bad economy.
But Democrats thought that meant America wanted to move to the hard left. That simply wasn't the case.
America wanted to be rid of bad republicans who were spending and driving up the debt. Americans didn't have any other choice than to vote in democrats.
Alan Grayson is the classic example. he is the "Obama" of the House if you will.
That dude won because the republicans fired their guy in that district. This term he got creamed because those people in that district hired the guy they wanted. this new guy had best do what they want him to do.
The Republicans need to understand that we want certain things and if they don't give them to us we will fire them again. but if they do what we want, it could spell doom for liberalism in American politics for another generation.

Now, I have no more time today, but I must say, I have thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. I especially enjoyed correcting your typos! I feel redeemed from all of the ones I have made.
Viva la America!!!!
