No joy in Tennessee either. But, there's one consolation...our state is now even more conservative. The Republicans now have a super majority in both houses of the state legislature, plus a Repub businessman governor.
I still haven't had the heart to check the details of our state's outcome, but I do know our Republican candidate for the Senate... Heather Wilson, a good woman and former Representative... lost to her Democrat opponent. It wasn't a good night AT ALL.
Let me just say that last night made me feel that every single combat mission I ever flew was all in vain. Not at the time, of course, but in the long-run I now feel I was an idiot to ever risk my life---voluntarily, I might add--for my country. It isn't that I've abandoned my country--my country has abandoned me, or at least enough of it to negate practically everything I fought for and hold dear. "Semper Fi?" We should be faithful to what, exactly, I wonder.. THIS Brave New World?
...or P'ville
ReplyDeleteESPECIALLY P-ville. Roosevelt county is deep, deep red even though NM went blue.
DeleteOr at Moogie's Mansion.
ReplyDeleteBlogger still hates you, Moogie. I had to pull ALL of yer comments today out of the spam folder.
DeleteGeez! Wonder what I did to it for it to be so vindictive!
DeleteDunno... but it musta been really BAD. ;-)

ReplyDeleteI'll lighten the tone with my tongue firmly in my cheek: more Barbancourt. That'll help.
DeleteI remain trapped in the liberal wasteland that is New England.
ReplyDeleteBy Choice, though. ;-)
