Record number of women sworn into new U.S. Congress

This is unsurprising given that women, as well as independents and Latinos, have accelerated past the average in voter participation. For the health of a two party system, the GOP needs to drop the culture war. They’ve clearly lost. Conservatism reached its zenith under two of the last three presidents to get at least 51% in two elections: Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan.Defense and business first, with a calm awareness of social change (Ike backed desegregation with military force, and it was Nancy Reagan who made mainstreamed the fight against AIDS).
Oh, the third president to do it? Not sure: I think it was some black guy….

Just not enough old angry white guys to continue the hegemony but they will certainly “rage against the dying of the night” and we will “be amazed by the strength of the fury, in the final hour”. The House has devolved into a barroom brawl of the GOP girlie men with their big beer bellies, toupees, jet black dyed hair and spray tans….a putrid pathetic group of stupid old geezers, who just re-elected the raging, stumbling, profanity spewing, flamboyantly weeping, drunken Bonehead. Nice going, rednecks clowns.

“I think if we (women) were in charge of the Senate and of the administration, we would have a budget deal by now,” said Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine. “With all deference to our male colleagues, women’s styles tend to be more collaborative,” she said.

Isn’t that a sexist statement?

Will be interesting to see what changes these women will bring? From my vast experience with the opposite sex it should only add to the drama.
