And what about the lefts view of the DemocratIC party? Will enough of the Peace motivated voters sit out the next election or go looking for a third party to squander their votes on while yielding our nation a tool like Rudi as our president over the next 4 to 8 years?

Look, as grand as the last election was, in terms of indicating that when things get bad enough, a majority of voters open their eyes and stay focused long enough to cast a DemocratIC vote, the fact remains that our downward spiral will only execrate if this country does not pull together in 2008 and elect us a democratIC president.

I can't say for sure if Cindy learned enough along the way to get the reality of my last statement and I increasingly lack confidence in the apparent capacity of some who post here to do so. And before anyone strikes me dead for being blunt, I only ask that you show me how my party, the democratIC party, is supposed to overide a veto with a one vote working majority in the Senate and less that the number needed in the House as well.

Like all of you, I am mad as hell and refuse to take this path our nation is on any longer. Still, we must suck it up and pull together and take back the whitehouse if we are to have any hope for the future.
Peace.
 

"If we just elect the right person, all of our problems will be solved.  If we just support the Democratic Party, they will charge into battle and solve all of our problems.  If I write to my member of Congress, what I saw will override everything else that they are getting shoved into their ears and shoved down their throat, and they will vote the way I want them to, and everyone else in their party will magically decide to vote along with them, and all of my problems will be solved.  Maybe with the media paying attention to one person, the entire country (all 300+ Million people) will suddenly drop everything they are doing and agree with that person's perspective.  Money doesn't mean anything in elections, it's the people's voice that really matters.  All we have to do is march in the street and the world will turn on a dime.  The Democratic Party didn't vote my way, so I'm taking my voice and going home, or I'm going to start yet another political party that will get media attention and suddenly a heavy majority of people will wake up and vote for us."

Bullshit.

I love Cindy.  I really do.  I hope she heals, and figures out what she needs to do.  I hope that she talks to the right people and makes the right decision.

I hope she runs for Precinct Committee Officer in California and begins to help the long, slow climb out of this hole we find ourselves in.  I hope she joins the board of directors for some of the political action committees that she supports.  And I hope they give her the opportunity.

Drop the illusions, Peace Mom.  Please.  Stop using the media that you know is against you in the first place, and let's try to get some of the actual work done.
