Will the election results mark a shift in common sense?

"L. Brent Bozell's Parents Television Council, whose members generate virtually all the complaints of indecent programming to the FCC, is demanding that the commission reverse its decision to set aside two rulings regarding indecent language on CBS's The Early Show and ABC's NYPD Blue."

I am sure there are other examples of a vocal minority attempting to impose their will on the majority throughout the world, but the part of the sentence that annoyed me the most was "L. Brent Bozell's Parents Television Council, whose members generate virtually all the complaints of indecent programming to the FCC,...".

Will there be some balance restored now that the fundamentalist Christian groups are no longer so strongly represented in Congress and the Senate? (A quote from an episode of The Simpsons where they recount the voyage of the Mayflower and Homer proclaims "I'll see to it that all you fundamentalist Christians live to take over all of America by the 21st century!" as he pilots the Mayflower to Plymouth).
