What did the 2014 midterm elections mean? Not what you may think!

Yes, the liberals took a shellacking in Tuesday's elections, of that there can be no doubt. But, I would argue, little or nothing has changed in American politics. Most importantly, the tens of millions of our citizens, and non citizens, who voted for Obama not once, but twice, are just as liberal today as they were six years ago when he was first elected. There has been no movement to the right, not even a smidgen! For example, many, if not most Americans, believed in socialized medicine before Obama was elected and, guess what, they still do! While it is true that these died in the wool liberals ding-bats were extremely upset at the bungled roll-out of Obamacare and a smaller percentage felt betrayed by the repeated lies Obama told prior to the passage of this destructive piece of legislation, the vast majority of the liberals in our population still believe in socialized medicine. In this respect, the recent election changed nothing, despite the drubbing liberal politicians took at the poles! It is not my purpose to argue the pros and cons of socialized medicine here; I just want to point out that liberals were not rejecting socialized medicine or any other liberal policy, when they throughout their liberal leaders this past Tuesday; rather, they were, for once, recognizing the utter incompetency of their elected liberal leaders and rebuffing them at the poles. Similarly, despite the chatter of liberal talking heads like Debbie "blabber mouth" Wasserman Schultz, most of the "uninformed" voters in this country know that that economy has not come roaring back from the present recession and they rightly blame their liberal leaders for the nation's prolonged economic stagnation. This, however, doesn't mean that they reject the liberal socialist policies (high taxation, high capital gains taxation, Obamacare, lack of school choice, illegal immigration, insecure borders etc.) which are responsible for the economic quagmire we find ourselves in. No, nothing has changed, the masses rejected their liberal leaders in the election but not their socialist policies. The average liberal is just as ignorant and socialistic today as he was prior to Obama's first election to office, maybe more so. So, what is to be learned from the 2014 midterm elections. First, and most importantly, we conservatives gained nothing! The voters were not rejecting liberal policies when they went to the poles, they simply were rejecting their liberal brain dead leaders. In this respect, conservatives gained little except temporary control of the house, which they already had, and the senate. As always is the case, come 2016 all will be forgotten and voters will return the liberals to power unless, of course, Ben Carson can be induced to run for president. If that happens we have a chance to make a meaningful short term improvement in our situation. But any hoped for changes gained by Carson's election would be short termed at best. In a pure democracy socialism always will prevail in the long run, always has and always will!
