Halliburton’s stock is falling. I wonder if that has anything to do with the end of GOP reign in Washington…

In the wake of the GOP’s violent overthrow, Donald Rummsfeld has submitted his resignation and President W has accepted it. I guess they knew the first order of business for a new Dem-powered Congress would be to get rid of Rummy.

Chalk up another victory for the good guys. Freedom is on the march here in the good ol’ US of A.

America has spoken! Say goodbye to the Repulican era. The Democratic Party swept the mid-term elections, taking the majority of House seats and Governorships, and while the Senate results are not final yet in two states, Dems are sitting on leads in both of the races in question, leaving them poised for a majority in the Senate too.

It’s about time.

Many of us saw the corruption early on and wanted to see a change, but we watched as 2002 and 2004 only served to solidify the Republican Party in their comfy seats. But as good as the GOP machine was, it just wasn’t good enough to cover up the endless string of scandals those Republicans loved to get themselves into.

The tide has turned. Bush, already a lame duck, is now looking at an impotent end to his ride in the White House.

Particularly encouraging was seeing Ohio clean house, getting rid of Mike DeWine and Ken Blackwell — two of the major players in the 2004 election scandal. Pennsylvania also said goodbye to Rick Santorum, and Rhode Island gave Lincoln Chafee the boot.

So now that the Dems have the power, it’s time to see them do something with it. So many of them have campaigned on nothing more than the “at least I’m not a Republican” platform. It’s time to see what they stand for. Granted, it can’t be as bad as what they defeated, but if it’s not good, they’ll just lose all the power they gained when the next election rolls around.

Time to step up, Dems!
