A Post Election Commentary

Okay; the elections are over. Bravo and congratulations to the Republicans for running one of the first coherent strategies in their history. For Democrats, you deserved the whipping put on you, especially those incumbent representatives who suffer from a lack of integrity. These are the cowards who chose to tuck their tales and run away from the president into the darkness of political incoherence. The Republican strategy of nationalizing the election by making the election about the president and his policies; the Democratic losers, instead of capitalizing on the accomplishments of the president, chose to run and hide from them. That Floriduh reelected Rick Scott, the Medical Health insurance fraud, and Georgia elected Perdue, who bragged about shipping jobs offshore speaks volumes about the importance of so-called "morality, truth, and integrity as those values that they (Republicans) have claimed Democrats lack. So, now, like the Republicans, after a gigantic electoral ass-whipping, will slink off into a corner and lament and debate the failures associated with this election failure. For Democrats, you have 2 years to realize that you cannot continue to ignore the Latino population, the Colorado elections speaks volumes about the Udall candidacy and its lack of sensitivity to Latino interests. What does this loss say about the Southern states that are seriously populated with black voters? It is time that political leadership, both Republican and Democratic open their eyes to the demographic changes underway, i.e. the darkening of America and that you embrace this reality and practice the inclusivity that you brag about because the longer you resist the changes the more difficult the changes are going to be. Democrats and the President dropped the ball especially where Latinos and the immigration issue is concerned. Even now, Latino leadership is warning the President about the importance of the immigration issue is to their community. And insofar as the black vote is concerned, the message to them was muddled at best. Combined, Latino and African American absence from the polls make up the greater proportion of the 2/3 electorate that just did not find it in their best interests to go to the polls. Finally, for the victorious Republicans, you now have the levers, and you will now have to act between now and 2016; you can no longer blame POTUS for this, that and the other. I look forward to hearing Boehner and McConnell's commentaries on the next two years.
