A victory for anyone appalled at the sense of entitlement and arrogant possession of power by the House GOP. A repudiation of those who abandoned principles of limited government, fiscal restraint. And a downfall to those who failed to live up to their responsibilities to keep an eye on the executive branch and act as an equal partner in government.
A defeat for marriage equality in seven states across the county. How many such defeats will it take to get leaders of every national gay organization to come together and plan a true grassroots movement for our community? Enough black tie galas...we need feet on the street in Lynchburg, in Madison, in Charleston, Knoxville and so on. The only bright spot was Arizona...where good ole Barry Goldwater conservatism prevailed.
But, overall, last night was a great defeat for a cringing, corrupt GOP and a great victory for the Democrats and a victory for divided government. Here's hoping, in the end, last night will have been a good victory for the US of A. Old Lady Liberty could use some new help.
