What was the Issue?

As I sat disappointed watching the election results come in, I asked myself why. What was the issue? Was it corruption, marriage rights, stem cells, taxes, voter ID (in Wisconsin), education, social security, the war, or those war referendums I never even heard about? In fact the voter was flooded with issues, too many to digest. A united national attack on the President and Republican party while the local elections were swamped with multiple issues, highlighted by Michael J. Fox putting stem cells to the forefront in the final weeks, kept the political trend of the opposition party gaining seats in year six of a Presidency alive. You were snoockered Mr. Limbough.
I do not believe a standing President has lost an election in war time, but if the election were held today you would have to wonder. Why the administration dropped the "stay the course" policy shortly before the election was a mistake. It added credibility to the Democrats on defense.
More blame falls on the Republican party itself, while screaming the Democrats had no agenda, showed themselves impotent in instigating their own, while holding both houses.
Ultimately the media and special interest groups won the day ("Defying Nature"). With not only the Episcopal, but now the Presbyterian Church embracing homosexuality you wonder where Americans are turning to for moral guidance. Obviously the TV, with its pontificating news commentators and the special interest agenda being played as commonplace in our entertainment medium. No wonder the media attacks televangilists so consistently. They're a threat to their congregation.
No landslides, as I predicted, and many more seats were won by the Democrats than I could imagine. The overwhelming victory of marriage amendments shows not only the ethical concerns of the nation but also the publics distrust of the judiciary. Obviously they see all politicians as corrupt, not discriminating between Republican and Democrat, and the Republicans are to blame, failing to drop several scandal ridden candidates.
The strategy of taking the issues away from the Democrats, that I believe the R.I.N.O. members were part of, failed and needs to be rethought. May I suggest a Lieberman, Obama, McCain alliance to put the socialist homosexual agenda of the money behind the Democratic party into its third party status where it belongs?
Yes, I still believe the public can discern right from wrong. Ironically it is in the hands of the political parties to buck the media influence and do major party restructuring. In this television/media dominated society, with special interest money dominating the agenda of the political parties, we need true leadership to accomplish this and reconnect the parties with the majority. This very well could be a break away black community.
