The takeaway: Don’t believe Republican snake oil merchants.

Getting Our Government Back

It’s been a decidedly mixed week. Much of the nation experienced a temporary lapse in judgment by electing Republicans to House and Senate seats.

But here in California, we caused Republican Meg Whitman to lose $140 million of her own money by declining to elect her for governor. This despite a personal appearance by Sarah Palin in our beloved Conejo Valley.

And we showed the good sense to refuse to delay implementation of a climate change bill.

Carly Fiorina never had a chance.

So much for the year of the Republican woman.

Many Democrats these days are down in the dumps. They shouldn’t be. The Republicans will disgrace themselves over the next two years.

They will drag their feet, dig in their heels, and scream “hell no” at the top of their lungs.

And that’s just fine. They will have nobody to blame but themselves when they lose the 2012 election. And their phoney mandate will disappear.

So relax, and let’s take the opportunity to reaffirm our principles.
