Mostly re President Bill

[Crow3]

From MSNBC...

"The House of Representatives is so constituted as to support in the members an habitual recollection of their dependence on the people," the framers wrote Federalist papers, in support of biennial elections to the House proposed in the newly written Constitution.

"Before the sentiments impressed on their minds by the mode of their elevation can be effaced by the exercise of power, they will be compelled to anticipate the moment when their power is to cease, when their exercise of it is to be reviewed, and when they must descend to the level from which they were raised."

Whether it is Democrats or Republicans surfing a wave, "change" elections were all part of the plan.

Since everyone is expecting a Republican controlled Congress to result from todays voting, it is well to remember that it is NOT a new thing for power to pass from one party to another.

The party in power has virtually ALL the power, and ERGO, have to get the blame if what they do is not pleasing to the GREAT
UNWASHED. So it has heretofore been incumbent upon them to try not to piss off the electrolate.

What has changed is the influence of MURDOCH and the FOX network.

It is not new to have News Media influence elections. But FOX has managed to do it at an unprecedented level. They can paint what a Republican led congress as good...even when it is bad...and get away with it..for now. For how long??? Who knows.
