The election results are good news for America. President Bush was reelected with a majority of the popular vote, conservatives won almost every in-play congressional contest of importance, and voter initiatives affirming marriage as the legal union of a man and a woman passed in every state in which they were on the ballot. The leftist assault on public morality is imperiled. The Democrat strategy of usurping legislative perogatives through judicial fiat is neutered by a Republican President and a strengthened Republican Senate majority. The Supreme Court is safe and with it the Constitution and our democracy.
Voters turned out in record numbers and a majority of them said no to the politics of hatred and recrimination that inflated Democrat rhetoric since the disputed election of 2000. The biggest losers yesterday were not defeated politicians, but left-wing operatives like Michael Moore, George Soros, Terry McAuliffe, Dan Rather, and the New York Times, who tried to win an election by turning Americans against each other.
John Kerry was disingenuous on so many issues during the election, but he had the good grace and patriotic sense to leave the Ohio results unchallenged. His concession speech addressed the need for Americans to come together and that is what we must now do.
