Post Election Thoughts

I read some observations that spurred me to give my two cents after the election. Washingtonians decided that liquor should not be privately run. I cringe at this decision mostly because of the touted beliefs that non state controlled liquor would put alcohol in the hands of youth. What??? I really hope the 51 percent that voted no didn’t believe this notion one bit.

Republicans gained the house, but for the wrong reasons. I love that our country faced with a dissatisfaction votes for another party, even if that party doesn’t have solutions. So what do we gain from this election for changing of the guard? I really hope one of the republicans that won ran with something other then “we’re not that guy” “lower taxes” or “cut government spending”. We should continue on this road for the next election and vote for neither a democrat nor republican next time, so when we’re dissatisfied with the political system we have no one to point the finger at but ourselves.
