We have a new member here at A Youth's View from the Right, he is "The Mouthpiece of Truth." He is a decorated debater, so I'm looking forward to his posts. I'd give his credentials, but the thought of someone hunting him down with that information is in the back of my mind. Actually, I just hope we have enough readers for some of them to get fuming mad at what we say, but who knows, maybe we do.
Anyway, look for his posts, they are sure to be
interesting in the least.

Rudy 2008
Now here is a republican who the democrats could deal with:
Rudy Giuliani. He has began the process of becoming a Presidential Candidate. Not only could the democrats handle him, I think that republicans would back him enthusiastically also.
"The former mayor filed papers to create the Rudy Giuliani Presidential Exploratory Committee, Inc., creating a panel that would allow him to raise money for a White House run and travel the country."I think it's funny that as soon as the midterm election passes, everybody (including me) is talking about the next presidential election. But I guess even after the last presidential election people were talking about Condi versus Hillary for prez. It's all one big campaign.

Hope
A new perspective in Iraq may be a good thing, but I don't know if I want it to be the democrats' perspective. The purely anti-war mantra of the democrats is noble and all, but it could be dangerous for America. The hope I have came from an article by
John Gibson. Although it may be a bit too "I told you so," it has a good point.
"That is for the Democrats to abandon their anti-war election rhetoric, recognize this is now their war to win too, and help President Bush and the Iraqis make this go quickly and go well."Hopefully these polititians realize that now they have been elected to office, they can drop the campaign slogans and work to find a better solution than running from Iraq and "talking" to the terrorists. Terrorists don't compromise, and we shouldn't compromise with terrorists.

Coincidence...
...
I think not.
(the link doesn't work perfectly for me, so if there is confusion, it's the "Riddle Me This" post)
The day after the election was so much more pleasant without all of the
babies whining about voter fraud and intimidation.

The Results
When I first realized that the republicans had lost the House, and now possibly the Senate, I was a little upset, but now that I think about it, it will be interesting to see how this pans out over the next few years. We can't win every election, so I'm not too worried in the long term; this is a good time for the republicans to regroup.
On a semi-related note, I found this little story and I found it very amusing:
While walking down the street one day, a U.S. senator is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in Heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
"Welcome to Heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."
"No problem, just let me in."
"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in Hell and one in Heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity."
"Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in Heaven," says the senator.
"I'm sorry, but we have our rules."
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down.
The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him. Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne. Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy. He has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on Heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him.
"Now it's time to visit Heaven."
So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
"Well, then, you've spent a day in Hell and another in Heaven. Now, choose your eternity."
The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers.
"Well, I would never have said it before. I mean Heaven has been delightful, but I think Iwould be better off in Hell."
So, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to Hell.
The doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags, as more trash falls from above. The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder.
"I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday, I was here and there was a golf course and a clubhouse and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, danced and had a great time. Now, it's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened"?
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday, we were campaigning. Today, you voted."
