The results are still coming in, but here is a quick analysis:
1) George W. Bush has been resoundingly rejected by the American people. His arrogance, cockiness, smirk, and condescension have turned off 60 percent of the American people.
2) Iraq has ruined the Republican Party — and the Bush presidency. The people are sick of it and want a change — pronto.
3) The Neoconservatives have infected the Republican Party and the conservative movement — and their influence needs to be reduced in order for us to regain our inherent support around the country.
4) The pre-election polls were almost entirely accurate, so please don't start with this "the polls are rigged" nonsense. In almost every Senate and House race, the polls of those races were within a point or so.
5) The last minute GOP spin that they "were closing the gap and picking up momentum" was total baloney — just like their repeated claims that "we are making great progress in Iraq."
6) Sadly, the Bush-led GOP has become just like the Clinton-led Democrats: a spin machine totally devoid of reality and truth. You can't trust ‘em to tell you anything. And the people no longer trust Bush.
7) Corruption was the other driving force in the election. The GOP House majority has grown fat, lazy, and crooked. They tolerated Mark Foley, feasted off of sleazy Jack Abramoff and covered up for each other as they grew arrogant and power-mad.
8) The so-called architect — Karl Rove — is overrated. All his — and Bush's — bragging about their "revolution" has gone up in smoke: they've blown it! They handed the Democrats the House, probably the Senate and the majority of governorships. Rove and Bush — as Daddy Bush did in 1992 — have betrayed Reaganism and allowed the Democrats back into power.
9 ) If you read this column you know we have been dead-on for seven years about how the Bushes would take the GOP and the conservative movement right over the cliff. And they have.
10) And we have been constant, too, about how Iraq was a disastrous mistake that need not have happened, and how arrogant, ignorant Bush and his "team" have severely damaged our country for decades to come.
11) And these arrogant in-the-tank-for-Bush radio hosts who do nothing but read the Rove-fed Talking Points: maybe they should try thinking for themselves for a change, eh? Claiming that "early voting and absentee ballots were breaking for the GOP" last week was patented nonsense! How would anyone know how votes are breaking before they are counted?
In sum, the Bush-led Republican Party and conservative movement are in a shambles. We need to start all over again. We need to get away from the Bushes — and from McCain who is too old, too arrogant, too out of touch to lead anyone.
Out of every disaster comes new hopes and new directions. We begin today — first by admitting our mistakes and vowing not to repeat them.
