"A temper tantrum can cause the loss of friends, a career, a marriage, even a life.

Nations can have temper tantrums too, and the consequences can be equally disastrous.

Last November, American voters had a collective temper tantrum. They lost their temper at Republicans and voted against them. They didn't vote for any positive reasons, they went strictly negative.

The voters lost their temper at George Bush, at the war in Iraq, at bridges to nowhere in Alaska and no fences along our southern border, at... it was a long, long list of complaints.

What voters did not do last November is vote for surrender and defeat in Iraq, higher taxes, more government spending, and national security imperiled. Yet that's what they got with the Democrats.

And our country is in grave risk because of it. The risk is growing by the day."
