What the "Red Tsunami" Has Accomplished

The Tea-Partiers, Republicans, and Conservatives throughout America can rest assured, feeling that they have won a major victory today. A halt will be put to Barrack Obama's oppressive regime of over-spending and unconstitutional legislation which is damning our country to a future of incomprehensible debt and enslavement to the federal government.

A new era of responsibility and true representation of the people is finally being realized. Old forms of overt government control, too long subverting the public good will be discarded; what was originally intended for America: a Republic, of, by and for the people, will be restored. The voice of our country's citizens will finally be heard.

But in the end, after all is said and done (perhaps after 2 years time) - this is what the expansive "Red Tsunami" has brought to this country:

Nothing.

No definitive plan to help the economy in any comprehensible fashion.
No way to reconcile spending cuts while also cutting taxes.
No deviation from negative advertising to rile up the most base urges from the populace.

No respect for political and social reality from the Democratic party.
No shame from corporations funneling historic amounts of money into their self-chosen red candidates.

No more water in Lake Mead; so we quench our thirst with political promises.

And No - I'm not a Democrat. I'm a new father, in debt for getting an education, and heart-broken at how difficult it is to see this country getting any better.
