Here we go again

So the Democrats blew it big this time, and the Republicans are once again the Ruling Party.

So now it begins: the war on drugs, terrorism, and the constitution; the war on consumers; the war on the environment -- oh, yeah, the war on Iraq, too. The crusade continues.

And now that Bush knows he has a winning strategy, look for yet another war on an Islamic nation a year and a half from now, when Bush needs a boost in his campaign for another term in the Presidential Palace.

The question I have about all this is, "What referendum is this sending the White House?"

Were people voting Republican because they like Dubya and his policies, or were there other factors that are being masked?

For example, when the House and Senate went Republican during the 1980s it wasn't necessarily because people adored Reagan, but because their Democratic leaders were nailed in the Abscam scandal but were still on the ballot. No matter which way folks leaned, they didn't want to elect crooks and thus voted for whatever was on the Republican ticket. The Republican Party likes to claim it was a mandate for Ronald Reagan, but having been from one of those districts, I know otherwise.
