I am begining to realize that the day after elections I am my most cynical. Once again the center has trounced everything progressive. My candidate for gov got his ass handed to him; the supreme court judge i really wanted was creamed (although with a name like Indira Rai-Choudney how can you win); lastly the state rep I wanted had no hope (ironic

Perhaps another four years of Bush are what this country needs before some progressive candidates are put into office?

Maybe, maybe not. I think the risks (nuclear war, global warming, war) are too high. Besides if you let them (Bush) frame the debates then nobody will realize the crap they keep pushin (which is how we got here). I think i am just being too cynical for my own good.

Well it appears Bush/Cheney is up by a million (or 14) points in the latest polls. It seems Kerry has succummed to Bushes attacks on his war record. When he should have been telling the voters his plan for the future, Kerry has been spending his time talking about the past, believing that Vietnam was the way to establish his credibility (which has taken the spotlight off the real important issues).

The next four years arnt going to change the threat of global warming. Kerry's stand on the environment isn't too better than Bush. I just don't like Bush's fear based porogative. Uh oh, we're at threat level orange, I better duct tape my windows... What worries me the most is Bush's stance on things like gay marriage and the patriot act. But if Americans are willing to voluntarilly give up their freedoms, then as
Benjamin Franklin said; "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

I'll just move away...
