Donkeys Win Elephants Lose
AND… the Donkeys have taken over the Senate. I felt that a blue victory was inevitable given how the MSM was banging the Elephants over Iraq and various scandals. It’s up to the Donkeys right now to make sure America stays safe and to fix the situation in Iraq. Also, I must say something. After reading tons of leftist news and blogs, I’ve come to the conlcusion that the Donkeys have no proper plan for Iraq or to protect America. All I read were critcisms, many of which were harsh but no alternatives to the current Elephant plans in place. The Elephant plans are without a doubt flawed and big mistakes have been made in Iraq. On the other hand the Donkeys don’t really have a plan from what I’ve concluded. I have the impression they’re only focused on withrdrawing from Iraq. If they do withdraw before Iraq is stabalized then I must honestly say that I’ll consider it as a defeat… a very bad defeat and a second Vietnam. Here comes the question: Which one is better having no plan or having a flawed plan?
The Donkeys must do their best to come up with solid alternatives. They have the chance to produce something fresh and I pray to God they can keep America safe from terrorist attacks. I also don’t want to see America moving to the left and wake up next day only to find people like Cindy Sheehan in positions of power. Don’t get me wrong, I like her and the fact that she’s always smiling. Moreover I feel sorry for her and the loss of her son in the Iraq war but I seriously don’t think she should be in a position of power. In my opinion she seems pacifist and she doesn’t have the balls to confront the dangers facing her country (other voice in my head: Duh, she doesn’t have balls. She’s a woman you idiot!). Donkeys on the far left don’t seem to realize the threat terrorists pose. Dear American leftists reading this, open your eyes and realize the threat facing you. I would not want another 9/11 happening in America since that would be horrible for you Americans and us Muslims.
Donkeys have 2 years to prove what they can do. All they’ve been doing so far is screaming at Elephants. Will the Donkeys be able to walk the talk or will they screw up and pave the way for an Elephant president in 2008? Time will tell. Meanwhile I’m really enjoying this whole “Donkey Elephant†thingy. You Americans sure do choose the dumbest animals to represent your political parties. 
UPDATE: I just wanted to add one more thing and I say this mainly to Mideast Youth’s dear American readers who voted. You actually voted. You voted and exercised your right… You actually voted. Many throughout the world don’t even have that simple privilege. God knows I don’t and for that you should be thankful.

Drima,
If you or anyone continues to place most of their hopes on politics, they will ALWAYS be disappointed. Sadly too many people contine to believe that “if my party, my leader, if my congressman could only be in power. If only my bill gets passed…. And the people who are voted out legally or illegally will continue to say, “If we can hope things become worse so we can regain power”, or I”f we can disrupt the society there will be a revolution” or any other hopes to divide people…..
There is only one solution that is really true, and that is the only point that unites the neoconservatives in the US, the religious fundamentalists of almost all world religions,
separation of religion from government is a hypocrisy..A man carries his moral view into the political world and into the temple, synagogue, church, shrine, etc.
However, people of minority religions have suffered greatly under the rule of theocrats. But this doesn’t mean the truth of who and what we are, is different, or unexplained. It means these religious systems have become corrupted by power.
Drima,
Yes, I voted. But, I don’t know.
Something is missing.
It just doesn’t feel right.
I think we need our thumbs purple, to complete the experience.
