Thank God.

Kiss your recount buh-bye George Allen, there's a new senator in town. His name is Jim Webb.

Well we all got to go sometimes.

For years, Republicans have used libertarian rhetoric in their political campaigns. “We favor freedom, free enterprise, limited government, and responsibility,” Republican candidates have so often proclaimed. “We’re opposed to big government,” they loved telling their constituents.

Recall what Republicans used to tell people during the 1980s, when they controlled the White House but not the Congress: “The only reason we’re not cutting federal spending is because Democratic control of Congress prevents us from doing so. If we only had control over both the executive and legislative branches, we would slash federal spending and abolish departments and agencies.”

People believed them, but it was all a lie from the get-go. The libertarian rhetoric was employed for one — and only one — reason: to deceive people into putting Republicans into power so that they could take control over the federal government and its vast IRS-collected resources and then consolidate their power over the lives and resources of the American people.

The truth, no matter how discomforting Republicans might find it, is that President George W. Bush is nothing more than a variation of Bill Clinton — and a worst one at that. Sharing Clinton’s socialist conviction that the federal government is an agent of morality through its “compassionate” confiscation and redistribution of wealth, Bush has far exceeded Clinton in social-welfare spending. No one can reasonably deny that Bush and his Republican congressmen have been bigger big-government men than Clinton and his Democratic cohorts.

Aside from the old arguments about the Iraq war this article is an interesting read.
It seems that voters will punish you if you dont put words into action.
Ronald Reagan would turn over in his grave if he knew that the Republican party had failed to implement his ideals.

That Is why the lost the congress because the GOP is not longer the party of the people.

Now winning the Senate is something that is very narrow margin and still the swing votes can make the difference on who gets what.
