The GOP Tsunami of the 2014 Midterm Election

What can I say, but the November 4, 2014 midterm election, on the 35th anniversary of the US hostage crisis in Teheran, Iran (1979), and 34 years after the presidential election of former California governor Ronald Reagan (1980), was a complete and vitriolic repudiation of President Obama and his policies as well as the Democrat party's stranglehold in Washington.

I woke up early this morning to the news of the national defeat of the Democrats and hearing by the liberal pundits that the elevation of the Republican party in Congress was not really a mandate.  Say again?

Yes, my head nearly flipped.  How can the liberal pundits dare say this GOP win was not a national mandate?  Of course it was!  The Republicans won a good majority in both houses of Congress, and they took control of the governorship in both Illinois (home of President Obama) and Maryland which is a liberal bastion.

Not only that, but the Democrats' painting the GOP as hostile to the interests of women, thus the War on Women, fell flat on their faces as conservative Republican women like Joni Ernst of Iowa won the senate seat occupied by outgoing liberal stalwart Tom Harkin.  She faced a male Democrat in that race, but you never heard the liberal establishment say anything there about the GOP's War on Women, did you?

Or, how about Mia Love's winning a house seat in Utah's 4th CD?  She is a conservative black Republican who also ran against a male Democrat.

Or, what about the first conservative black Republican in South Carolina to win on his own accord the seat once occupied by Sen. Jim DeMint, Tim Scott?

How about the re-election of South Carolina's governor Nikki Haley who is of Indian descent?

Then there's Elise Stefanik in upstate New  York winning a seat to the House.

Folks, don't let the media tell you otherwise.  This election was mind-blowing.  It signaled a complete reversal of Obamanomics.  The American people have already had their fill of Obama Gas, and it's noxious.

But, mark my words, the GOP establishment better pay very careful heed to this election.  The American voters have been shaking up the political dynamic since 2006.  Yes, they elected the Democrats to Congress in 2006, elected Obama on false hope and change in 2008, brought back the GOP to the House in 2010 and 2012, and now finally the GOP to the senate in 2014.

Americans are getting sick and tired of the Old Guard, and have given one chance, to Senator Mitch McConnell and Speaker John Boehner (let's see if he'll keep his speakership in January) to get it right and set the correct tone the country needs.

The American people have given the GOP a national mandate.  They do not want more of the Obama heroin lulling the public into a neverending psychedelic trip.  They've been given two years to right the course of the nation.

They want the GOP to fight Obama.  This is war, my friends.  A political war between the GOP and Obama, and it'll be interesting to see where the Democrats will stand.  Democrats have already seen the anger.  The writing is on the wall.  Will they continue siding with their president and the party, or will they strike on their own to save their own hides?

While I am elated and gloating at the GOP's victory, this election has only given the TEA Party an extra charge in holding the GOP to the fire.  These next two years will be one in which the TEA Party grassroots will be keeping close tabs on what happens in Washington, and preparing potential candidates to challenge those GOPers that forget who they represent.

As for Obama, it'll be interesting to see the route he takes in light of the GOP victory.  Will he learn and work with the GOP?  Or, will he consider this the Political War of all Wars?  By that I mean that given he sees the conservatives and TEA Party activists as the real enemy in America (instead of ISIS and domestic terrorists), will he be the first to fire the first shot across the bow at McConnell and Boehner hoping to break the GOP and blaming them for all the troubles plaguing the nation?

Will we be hearing of more IRS intimidation tactics against conservative activists and Christian churches?  Will Obama force an illegal immigration amnesty of 20M via executive order?  Will Obama step up efforts to deprive Americans of their 2nd Amendment rights?

These next few weeks of the lame duck session in Congress will be very interesting, indeed.
