CNN's Lou Dobbs on the midterms

CNN's Lou Dobbs has a great column suggesting that voters in the midterms told Washington to "shut up and listen." I couldn't agree more.

Voters chose to overturn our current one-party political structure and returned checks and balance to our government. November 7 also demonstrated that the American electorate is far more discerning and independent-minded than either political party or our elites would like to believe.

Election Day was middle-class America's declaration of independence from a Republican-led administration and Congress that for six years has been telling working men and women and their families in this country to shut up, listen up and go to hell.
