Today I am truly in a daze. Everyone expected Republicans to win, but my state was hit hard. There is truly nobody in this state that represents me now. I feel like I have moved into the deep south.
I can only hope the survivors in the Senate do what I hated the Republicans for doing-filibuster and obstruct. Not because I think bringing the country to a complete halt is a good idea, but their agenda is too extreme-killing education, social security, medicare all so the wars can continue and the rich can continue to pay no taxes.
So what is the future for my children who receive a public education? Property taxed will have to soar, so we may even not have a place to live.
I sincerely think about moving to Canada.
They ousted Russ Feingold! One of the good guys, one who wanted to reform campaign finance. That is probably why they are his target.
Welcome to the Corporate states of America, where the legislative process is bought by the highest bidder. Where corporate profits trump people keeping their jobs and homes.
I lived through eight years of Bush, and I fear these next two years are going to be worse because the right has become even more extreme, violent even.
God/Goddess bless us all and protect the middle class so we may live through these next two years without losing more homes and jobs.
