Pat Buchanan is out this morning with his pre-election analysis of the results. His take on the expected Republican victory: "Tuesday, obstructionism reaps its reward."
What a crock. I think he has been on MSNBC too long. Maybe he has been leaning forward and finally fallen over. To call the election a victory for obstructionism misses the main feature of this entire election cycle. The Democrats are reaping what they sowed. The Democrats ignored the will of the people to pass Obamacare. The Democrats spent the last year and a half falsely denigrating the Tea Party folks and their allies with nasty accusations of racism and (to use John Kerry's latest words) "know nothingism". The Democrats spent a trillion dollars on a stimulus that they knew or certainly should have known would not stimulate the economy. The Democrats pushed bills like cap and trade that would have forced another recession. The Democrats spent and spent and spent. The Republicans were unable to obstruct this wave of leftist politics because the Democrats had total control in both houses of Congress.
The truth is that the Democrats are receiving their just reward for their execrable behavior. The result is not due to obstructionism by Republicans, it is due to unpopular and inappropriate activism by the Democrats.
