Yesterday americans once more went to the polls.
One year after the historic election of Barak Obama to the Presidency of the United States, the Republican Party is claiming that yesterdays election results are an overwhelming referendum against the Obama presidency.
So by now you must be asking yourself, and everyone else, what major earth shattering election occurred yesterday? Did the Democrats lose their majority in congress? Was there a special election to vote for president all over again? No and, uh…no.
What happened was two states held elections for state governor, and in both states the republican candidate won. Whats that you ask? Only two states? your sure it wasn’t twenty-five, or thirty? No just two.
Apparently the Republicans are still reality challenged. In other words they think that a limp 2″ and a beer belly makes you a Buff Stud. How else can they believe the defeat of TWO Democrat governors equals a NATIONAL referendum? To stay with the current metaphor, the Republicans need to learn the difference between a gum drop and 50mg of Viagra. Two states do not equal the entire nation.
The claims of the Republican party would just be a laughable joke, at the expense of a political party still trying to re-invent itself after LAST years MAJOR, SWEEPING REFERENDUM on Republican leadership of our nation, if it wasn’t for the fact that they truly believed that Virginians and New Jerseyans only voted republican to send a message to the president, despite the fact that voters in both states said that was NOT the reason they voted the way they did.
As for the few who said they did vote for republicans to send a message to the Whitehouse, they should be stripped of their right to vote. They have made a mockery of the solemn responsibility of all americans to take part in the process of choosing our elected officials. The Governors elections in Virginia, and New Jersey were for the SOLE purpose of choosing the person the citizens of each respective state felt was best qualified to be the head of the executive branch of their STATE governments, not to send a message of disapproval to elected officials at the FEDERAL level.
