First Thoughts: Unchanged

This article is about the elections that will occur tomorrow, 11/2/10. It says the GOP party is headed for major gains (most likely 50-55 House seats). Many Americans (60% of regiestered voters) are not pleased with where the country is headed, and 70% of the group would like to see more GOP representatives in office. It seems that many Americans want more of the change that Obama promised. A large 63% want more change. This includes 47% of democrats. Many Americans are hoping for Nancy Pelosi to be fired. The Tea Party is also growing, with 28% of voters. 85% of them would be voting GOP, with only 10% of them voting Democrat. The article goes on to discuss recent campaigning activity.

I think the reason the GOP party is up so much is due to the fact that Democrats are controlling Congress right now, and there's hardly any change happening right now. Americans are in desperate need of change, and they see none happening. I obviously agree that change needs to occur, but no one is actually making this happen. Time after time, I've seen people of every party describe the change they're going to make happen. GOP or Democrat, everyone wants change, and says they're going to make it happen. Yet absolutely no one has done that yet. I think what this country needs is someone to go to Washington and actually do something, because I, along with 60% of my fellow Americans, do not like where this country is headed.
