Election results send a message

Re “Survival Is No Cakewalk for Moderates,” Sept. 14
Tuesday’s elections were both good news and bad news for Republicans. The good news is that GOP incumbent Lincoln Chafee won the primary election in Rhode Island. The bad news is that he is an antiwar and anti-Bush senator.
Last month, Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman, a pro-war Democrat, lost his election to unknown, novice antiwar candidate Ned Lamont.
I think that the voters are sending a message that both Democrats and Republicans need to hear: We are tired of Bush, we are tired of failure, we are tired of the lies, we aren’t going to stay the course, and we want America to recover and be a strong nation again.
Voters are turning back to reality in 2006.
