Just Do the Wave

Election Day has come and gone and still some races have been left uncalled. In this historic election, truly every vote matters and being such, I wanted to wait until all of the races had been decided. Yet, now over two weeks after election day, we finally have concrete numbers for some of the last races. In the midterm election, that saw the turn over of the United States House of Representatives by a sixty-one seat swing, was truly a wave election that rippled around the entire country. This post will highlight the most important and interesting races that Center Right Nation has followed throughout the summer and fall.

When Wall Street Ate Main Street

The Bull

In 2008, simply put, Wall Street ate Main Street. House were foreclosed upon left and right, massive layoffs rippled throughout the country, and big business was deemed 'too big to fail' and was fed until fat upon the American tax payer's dollars. Now, almost two years later with unemployment rates still hovering at or near 10 percent and with little of the Wall Street Bailout money having any effect on everyday America, we want to ensure that this never happens again. We have looked into the bulls horns once; we will not do so again. Yet for the second time this week Senate republicans halted the democrats Wall Street Reform Bill before it could reach open debate. Democrats cry 'foul' and scream 'obstructionist' at the their republican counterparts (and even one of their own). Is it just 'the politics of no' reasserting itself in the petty politics to which we have grown all to accustom, or is it something more?
