AMERICA REJECTS SOCIALIZED OBAMACARE
Tuesday’s election was a public rejection of Obamacare and even tone deaf Democrats like Obama, Pelosi, and Reid heard loud and clear that AMERICA REJECTS SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE!!! By the way, I got banned from http://www.barackobama.com and I’ve never felt more patriotic! Our Celebrity-in-Chief must have grown tired of hearing about how America rejects Socialized Health Care and the Public Option, just as yesterday’s election results indicated! The truth is Democrats don't want open debate, they want complicity. If they were honest, they would admit that America rejects Socialized healthcare and move on to more pressing issues like jobs, energy, the economy, Iran, Afghanistan, and immigration reform.

It was a real show of how the people are fed up by this tax and spend socialist ideology.

...up at the Capitol today. I went to the DC 9-12 rally--way more people than would fit in the Capitol and the Rayburn, etc. It will be interesting to see if Pelosi tries to keep The People out. Yeah, there are always security issues. You have to go thru security; have your purses scanned, etc. But like Bachmann said: The Capitol is the people's house. This time it's "Let my people in." On the 9-12 the crowd was chanting: "We own the dome." We also pay Pelosi to do OUR bidding. This proud progressive juggernaut needs to be stopped in its tracks and the only ones who can stop it is us. We have to keep at it in numbers too loud to ignore. We are the ones we've been waiting for.

Re: A Referendum
Tuesday's elections were clearly referendums. In Virginia, the referendum was against the policies of the Obama administration and against a Democrat Party so full of itself, it believes it can overrule the people with impunity. In New Jersey, it has to be seen as a referendum against Obama. Had Obama stayed out to the race, it would have been a referendum against Jon Corzine but Obama did a full court press to keep Corzine in office to include Obama insiders in Corzine's campaign staff. The voters in New Jersey rejected Corzine and in so doing rejected Barack Obama. Something tells me that rejection is something Obama had better get used to.

Insightful
"TIME's Mark Halperin and I discussed this last night on Lou Dobbs Tonight." A center-right commentator with two conservatives. Mommy, tell me the story about the "liberal media" again.
