It's hard to believe, but there is good news in this horrible election

  • Kay Hatcher was elected to the 50th District to represent us in the Illinois House of Representatives. You go girl!
  • Mark Kirk, Peter Roskam and Judy Biggert were re-elected.
  • Referendums in the area were defeated. It's about time voters said no to spending.
  • Karen McConnaughay was re-elected Kane County Board Chairman. We have a solid leader in Karen.
It's going to be hard to digest what happened in the other elections. I guess if you're a leftist, liberal, socialist you're pretty happy today. If you believe in low taxes and minimal government interference in your life you're not too happy. This election proves:
1. the power of the liberal media
2. that voters don't make decisions in national elections based on logic, but
allow emotions to drive them
3. that people don't care about security or our troops
4. that younger voters are idiots
5. that the constant mantra that America is a racist country is a total lie

I'm sure there are lots of other things this stupid election proves---including that 2 years of it is TOO MUCH. Maybe now Illinois can actually get a US Senator that works for the people--No-bama hasn't and Durbin is too busy kissing Harry Reid's ass and insulting the troops to actually do anything for us. Maybe the next guy who's appointed by Rod-Blo (ya, that's a joke) will work for the people of Illinois.

By the way, the Republican Party is in shambles this morning--at least that's my opinion. I blame Denny Hastert, President Bush (a huge disappointment as a party leader and president), and the wimps who didn't have the backbones to stand up to all the crap thrown at them. I don't know who will lead us out of this chasm, but I'm hoping Governor Palin and people of courage will stand up and take back the party.

FYI---I didn't watch one minute of election coverage yesterday--NOT ONE. My television didn't go to one news station, and when I was watching ESPN and they flashed election stuff on the crawler I switched the station. Thank goodness for HBO and Showtime also. I enjoyed 27 Dresses and Entourage.

NO ELECTION COVERAGE---HURRAY !!!
