With the election over, the voters of the nation have delivered a strong message that shows their demand for change in the coming years.

People expect more from their government now. They’re tired of politicians saying they love Jesus while wasting time Abramoffing. But we need to be patient, as it will take time to repair the damage caused by the Bush administration and the Project for the New American Century, who have tried to force their neo-conservative utopia upon us.

Imagine, for a moment, this utopia. We would be living in a twisted 1950s America where the fantasy of traditional family values exists. Everyone would shop at Wal-Mart, in a small town with a statue of Ronald Reagan in the center.

What we have instead is even worse: a crumbling economy, a tarnished reputation abroad and an administration both heartless and incompetent.

If the Republicans really wanted change, then they should have nominated someone other than a leftover from the Cold War and a hockey mom with the fiery soul of Strom Thurmond in her chest.

Americans are not interested in rants about socialism and terrorists. They proved that as they rejected McCain and Palin’s fear tactics.

Americans must ignore such fear mongers, along with the con artists of the religious right who use people’s faith to empower their own agenda while robbing the nation of rational thought.

With the results of this election, America has told the current Republican party to take their flawed ideology and keep it in their little own fantasy world along with their Reagan worship. Now, all that needs to happen is for every neo-conservative politician and commentator to step aside so Obama can undo their damage.

Nobody is interested in continuing or preserving the legacy of Reagan. That way of thinking became forgotten the minute Reagan forgot about his own presidency.

American voters have decided that Obama is the hope this nation needs. They have sent a clear message to the current GOP: their tired politics will no longer do.
